Record drive/partition "MPC 2" not found!

Hi, whenever I try to record enable an audio or midi track from a template, this message appears: Record drive/partition "MPC 2" not found!

 

But then it opens the folder so I can choose the location.

 

Any tips?

Thanks

I'd venture to say that the project was originally recorded on someone's machine that had a drive named MPC 2. Go to File-Project Settings-Recording tab and change the recording drive. Resave the template.

Actually a better way to take care of this problem is File > Project > Consolidate then click OK. I always recommend against setting your recording path manually.

Hi, thanks David. Gonna try that right away. Sorry for the huge image.

Hi, I never recorded anything but on my mac. Thanks

juca, some of the factory templates were saved with a record path pointing to the "MPC 2" drive of whoever designed the template. It's nothing YOU did, but Fader8 was right, that's what happened.

But apparently whoever made the "original" template did.

Thanks for that tip David. I've always started a new project folder when using templates so I never ran into that. I could see how that would be dangerous though.

Even Saving as a new project folder won't update the record path in that case. You still have to consolidate the project. Quite a few of the templates that come with Logic are like that. Pain in the neck. Save as project should always update the record path, but unfortunately it doesn't.

David,

 

I have posted about the same thing.

Do you"consolidate" before you record anything?

What does "consolidate" do?

Yes. It updates your record path to the audio files folder inside your project folder.

I too receive the "MPC 2 not found" warning so I did as suggested and consolidated. That cleared it up however, it appears to save the sounds within the template to my project file and immediately turns my project file into a 100 Mb file. My issue is that I probably won't be using these sounds, is there a way around this. Should I avoid the templates and just make my own?

Correction; my file becomes a 2Gb file, not 100Mb! Even with my 500Gb Glyph external, I can't afford to start every project with 2Gb of info. Please help.

When consolidating as a project, keep all the settings on "leave" except Audio Files which you can have on "copy".

of course, that would make sense. sometimes my aggrevation clouds my thought process. Thanks!

hello there.. ok i did everything and now my audio works but... now it only plays back thru one speaker. i'm using the mobilepre m-audio interface and i have checked all ( i think) pan functions on logic. if i'm missing a step in there somewhere please let me know. haha

Please start a new thread with that issue and we'll help you resolve. In the new thread, indicate if you're talking about the whole mix or just one track, what input setting you have on that track, etc...
