I have Windows 10 and am using Power Tracks Pro Audio 2015. I recently re-installed power tracks and when I tried to record a guitar part, I pressed record and when trying to save the recording, got an error message, "Error Converting C:\pt\INPUT.TXT". I also got an error message "File Access Denied (read-only file, or in use by another program". I tried deleting ptw.ini, but to no avail.

James,
My first impression is that it sounds like you need to run Powertracks in administrator mode.
To do this, right-click on the startup shortcut, select "Properties" and then, under the 'Compatibility' tab, set the option to 'Run as administrator'.
Regards,
Noel

Not sure how comfortable you are with working with computers (since this is your first post), but ..
If you Open the file you mentioned;
C:\pt\INPUT.TXT
It will open in Notepad most likely. This will reveal some interesting data.
You can look at that file and see where it is trying to write to.
Most likely issue is the line where it says
"Output=1= ..." (my dot-dot-dot will be replaced with a file path in your INPUT.TXT file)
This is where PT is trying to temporarily store your recorded audio.
To me, your error message implies PT doesn't have permission to write to that path/folder.
Running as Administrator may fix it (as Noel pointed out), but changing the permissions for this folder is another option to try. Maybe your temp storage area is protected by antivirus, or something else.
Just trying to help ..

Added: Help Video button Added to the Audio Harmony dialog.
Improved: ABC opening improvements with some accidentals, and leadin bars that occur in middle of song.
Improved: Audio harmonies now used Improved algorithms, and can be easily set using N voices above, M voices below (and have additional functions like duplicate melody, and dup. melody octave below).

Fixed: File > Open Special > Open Audio was importing audio instead of opening it in a new song.
Fixed: In the Bar Settings window, "Chordsheet and Notation - Start a New Line" should say "Notation - Start a New Line".
Fixed: It was not possible to record audio using WAS audio drivers if "Output always on" was disabled.
Fixed: Misc. RealTracks updates.
Fixed: Quicklist drums picker sometimes showing too many drums in the list.
Fixed: Redundant flash messages were showing.
Fixed: Removing a custom drums from a track would still display Drums as the name of the loop in the track.
Fixed: Rendering audio while there is a region of bars highlighted in the chord sheet might cause a crash.
