  • SOLVED! General Error when I try to save

I did a search and can't believe I'm the only one with this issue, but I can't save!
I keep getting "General Error" or rather I get it much more often than not. Sometimes if I leave a project open for a while (an hour +), I'll be able to save edits. Mostly I get the General Error, regardless of using Save, Save As, or Save Copy.
 
I have been working on one project, so I'll go check if that is specific to that or not.
 
I have just "finished" restoring and "rebuilding" my studio PC's programs having had to use an image from July last year. I ran CCC, too.
 
THANKS!

I'm aware of it.  Hit the spacebar (for play), stop, and then save.  You should be good to go.

Hmmm, I think I'm in the habit of playing back an edit and stopping, before hitting save, but I'll experiment. Perhaps I'm not always using the spacebar.....
Thanks Sacalait.

Yep, I posted with the same problem a few months back. Like it was said earlier, hitting play and then stop allows the save to work. It's a weird one...

Thanks mrpippy2. I guess that covers it.     It is a little weird, to consider, but if it works.... yahoo!

Is this some kind of weird Win 10 thing?
I see Sacalait lists Win 8.1 in his sig.
Never seen anything like this on my Win7 rigs...
What happens if you do a "save as"?

there are quite a few search results for this issue.
Typically plug ins that cycle (continue to run) will cause this error.
Any VST-I's ?

You're right Chuck. I must have worded my search "funny"....... thanks for the links. As far as VSTi's, I have Groove Agent 4 and 2 tracks of AD2.
I got it to open, after 3 tries and "truncated" messages. Did "the space bar shuffle" and then did a save. That worked.
 
@  Tom     Didn't matter which way I tried to save it.
Thanks to you all. Now I'm back to arranging my drum track.

I guess that makes sense; thanks!

So, cycling plugins would be drum programs, until you bounce them to audio. What other kinds of VST FX? Instruments cycling makes sense to me, too.
Does that "go away" with freezing? Obviously bouncing them to audio "cures it".
