My band is recording an album on Garageband and it's been going great until recently...
I am using an iBook G4 with a Presonus Firepod interface to record "real instrument" tracks onto a 250GB LaCie external hard drive. I've recorded live drums, bass, guitars, vocals, keyboards etc. and I'm nearing the mixing process.
Though lately I will open an existing project and a very strange message pops up before the file will open that says "Audio file 'Recording #77.aif' not found" and then it asks me if I want to search for the file or continue. In other words it is losing or misplacing one or more of my tracks in several of the projects I had saved. THIS IS FREAKING ME OUT!
I've found that if I had already locked the tracks and saved them when I closed the project previously (before having seen this message), the audio still plays on the tracks affected by this problem but the affected track will read "file not found." However if I unlock the track I lose the audio from that track. This is devastating as we have been working hard on this project.
What could possibly be going wrong here? I can't think of a logical explanation for it, so if you have any advice I would appreciate it! Thanks... Schroed2k
