Hi all,
I transfered a seg file from my desktop via a thumb drive.
Recording on the laptop HD, all went well for several deletes and saves. Until the last track.
I get this message: copy failed for audio save. Code 4. Another screen says error 248.
Any ideas?
I did salvage the work by exporting a couple tracks as wav files.
Thanks much,
Don S.

File - Open Backup
See if the most recent backup is good. If so; 'Save As' and rename so you have a good copy.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Thanks Bob. I had done that and got a recent file. Just not recent enough.
I wonder if using the thumb drive messed things up?

That shouldn't make any difference but you never know. This might also be related to the well known problem with RB that it simply gets wonky after too much work and needs to be closed and reopened. Maybe that bit you.
After I installed the new release versions of both programs I was working with Biab for the last few days with no problems but yesterday I decided to mess with RB. It wouldn't completely open. I got the main screen, it looked good but nothing was active, I could move my mouse all over the screen but could not click on anything. I had to use the task manager to force RB to close and upon reopening I let it open with the defaults but I still got the same thing I could not click on anything. I finally did a complete system reboot and then it opened fine. I don't have a clue boss, another mystery of the universe.
RB is basically a great program but it's always been a bit weird. That's all I can say about it, it's just weird sometimes.

That seems to be the case here, Bob. problem is that if I have any creative juices, they're are gone by the time I get things figured out.

Check that thumb drive for an RB backup folder and (possibly) a more recent file.
Dunno if it's possible, depends on how you used the thumb drive I suppose.
Send the codes to support and see if they know. A code as low as 4 could mean something as simple as disk space problem.
I hate losing work, and don't seem to have the issues you guys report. Then again I designed my system to be a DAW. Some people say 'I shouldn't need to do that', which is valid in some cases. But if your system is set up right, RB runs very reliably for very demanding situations.
Yes, I save RB and relaunch occasionally. Usually when *I* take a break. I figure if I'm ready, the system probably is too. Saving current work, and closing/ reopening RB can clear a ton of temp files and memory.
Doing things like using a separate drive for audio temp directory seems to really help. Have any of you looked in your audio temp directory to see just how many files you are creating with Edit, Record, Generate, reGenerate etc.? You might be surprised. Look at it while RB is running (after a decent session), then close RB and look again.
Those temp files are needed for Undo, etc. but can pile up. If you regenerated a section a bunch of times guess what?? Those files are in that temp directory in case you Undo back to that spot.
Sometimes how you work can avoid that, but using a separate drive can alleviate a lot of that.
Just some thoughts and ramblings
I remember someone saying that another DAW (Adobe I think) 'works' a lot quicker while inside the program, but takes much longer to save/close when done .. as it compiles and deletes temp files etc.
This leads me to believe something in RB is much different than that particular DAW in its routines.
I put serious strain on RB at times. I've also helped set up systems for others that use PT/RB and have been very reliable .. and it always involves a separate temp audio drive (for one thing)

I am running an older Dell desktop which only bench marks at 1500+.
Hope to be upgrading soon but your post got me thinking (always a dangerous thing)
Where is the audio temp directory located or what is it called?
Did a Windows search and no file found by that name.
Looked in RealBand folder and nothing by that name.
If found, can I just drag/move it to my external Western Digital 500 GIG USB backup drive or does it have to be on an internal second drive?
Do I have to specify a path for RB to find it once it is moved and if so, how?
Thanks

In Preferences > Audio you can specify both the path and the name of the "Temp" file
