Dead spots in imported OMF

Hi all,

This is kind of weird (for me anyway). I’ve been importing OMFs from a friend’s Protools into Cubase Pro 8 as part of a project. Most of the OMFs have come across no problems, but a recent one came across with dead spots in many of the tracks where the volume just drops out completely. As an experiment, I cut the offending ‘dead zone’ out, pasted in a ‘live’ event, and on playback it will still be dead. They’re all audio tracks in this project so far. I’ve tried a couple of times to import the same project, but it’s been the exact same result both times.

Anybody have any thoughts on what might be happening here? Thanks,

Ant.

Hi,

How many channels are ine the track? Is it Mono/Stereo/5.1…?

Hi Martin,

They’re mono tracks. The dropouts are happening in the same places in all the tracks with drop outs.

Thanks,

A few years back I had this (although not on Cubase).
In that case it was an automation change problem.
I can’t remember how it was cured- either overwrote automation on that track, or deleted it.

Hi,

Unfortunately, it doesn’t lead to my idea. So I have no idea about the solution.
