I’ve had this error before, but I think the solution we came to was specific to our workflow. You should try clearing your AMA Metadata folder if you haven’t.

I don’t have Boris to test this out, but this might work. Step into the clip you want to add the effect to by double clicking it, then add the effect to the clip in the middle layer, V2.2 in your case. This is the fill layer.

This would be my next guess too. When you have the track control panel visible, you will see that each track has a power icon next to it that can be toggled. Although you can make I think 24 audio tracks, you can only have I want to say 20 of them monitoring at once. When you have that many tracks, others may automatically turn off. If you don’t have the track control panel on, open it from the hamburger/fast menu.

That’s not it then. It only happens when your sequence is several hours long. Maybe you accidentally clicked the monitor audio button next to the audio bars on the timeline?

Maybe not your issue, but try duplicating your sequence and removing the second half. See if the audio works then. If a sequence gets too long, it will stop playing audibly, but you’ll still see the bars move.

Did you get an access violation or other error earlier? Sometimes even when you’re able to click through the error messages, Avid will stop saving. It’s best practice to just restart Avid after errors. Other than that, a lock file (either legitimate or a “phantom lock”) would make it so you couldn’t save. But in that case, Avid would at least notify you that you couldn’t.

I would just import the WAVs. Also, if you rename them before you import, so they have numbered suffixes (filename_01.wav), when you import, that number will become the default track for the wav. This will apply to both autosequencing and grouping.

Is it freezing right after you select which project to open? I’d try deleting the preferences file for your computer under that project. It will regenerate, but you can always back it up to feel safer.

You could try a workflow where you edit with lower resolution transcodes then reconcile to a higher resolution when your cut is finished. If you use AMA and transcoding instead of importing, you’ll be able to later decompose the sequence, relink it to the AMA footage, then transcode just the portions you’ve included to the high res. I think with batch imports you’ll have to import the entire file, which will take more space and more time.

Decompose the sequence (or sub-sequence if it’s just part of it), then relink the empty decomposed sequence. In the relink options, you’ll be able to select a specific format. I tend to get better success with relinking when I’ve decomposed first.
