Audio File, cannot be saved? Options

[younes_uk]

Hi everybody wishing you all a very happy new year, My question is that when i import an audio file into a track of my LE7, most of time i get that message saying : audio file ( x.wav) hasn't got sufficient access privileges so the overview can not be saved.
so when i turned again to what i did record removind the audio file source ie: CD, it seemes like it was not saved into the HD.. unlike most of audio file like external instrument, vocals...

thank you for your help.

Most files from CDs are locked files, drag the file to the audio folder for that song, then get info and check the permissions for the file, grant yourself read, write permission.

Especially If your song-file is a downloaded Itunes file, you can hang it up trying to import. Unless you know or way or know someone that knows how to unlock the protective ACC code, you will never get the file to import into any audio software. I attempted to import a legitimate purchased Itunes track the other day into PT7, so I could work-out some bass lines to a song and never could get it to import. I tried PT7, Cubase SX3, Ableton Live, with absolutely dead-end results. They have their files so protected. I ended-up playing the track in "real-time" from my laptop directly into my PT7 software. It worked...! They then wonder why so many hackers exist today (not me), and why people are constantly seeking and searching for ways to circumvent the legitimate route.

I've never really had a problem with iTunes purchases. If you burn an audio CD from iTunes then use some extraction software (I tend to use Toast) you should be able to work with these files.

You can clear up permissions problems by storing all your audio on a dedicated drive or partition, doing an Apple-I and selecting "Ignore ownership on this volume". You may need to redo this if you're bringing files from other machines. Its best not to try this on the main system drive tho.
