Unable to drag audio tracks into DP 10.13

I'm stumped..... I've done this for years and now I can't in DP 10.13.

I've bounced my mixer channels in Reason 11 to disc. I then quit Reason 11 and open DP. I set the tempo to match the Reason 11 file and try to drag the tracks in I just bounced and zip.... nothing! I've done this for years!!!

And now I am currently unable to drag any samples or individual tracks into my current project either. This is seriously disrupting my work flow today. I often start projects in Reason and finish them in DP as I much prefer to edit and mix in DP.

May not be related to your issue, but I recall there is an issue with the file extension being case sensitive. So maybe .WAV is not good but .wav is good? What are the file attributes?

No suggestions, but drag & drop into DP10.13/Mojave is working here.

I just restarted and created a new DP 10.13 project and now it's working.... Hmm....

Not sure what happened... Glad I can do what I've always done LOL :)

They were 24bit 44.1 AIFF - C files. I have it set that way in both Reason and DP to avoid unnecessary conversions....

Thanks for your replies!!!

I got scared since this is the first project I am doing since I upgraded DP.... maybe I should chill out a bit and lay off the coffee :lol:

I convert everything to .wav on importing these days—easy to set in Preferences. I get so many different file types, it’s the only way I can work.

I had a really bad experience with aiff-c in DP 9.51 and it was ever worse when I dropped them into 9.52. I learned from that mistake. These had been created on a CD Disk recorder — no idea what caused the corruption but those screwed up everything. That was the project where I learned about APFS Snapshots. After restoring my system to a previous state, I converted those files to .wav and then things were fine.
