I just noticed this within the last few days. When I try to save a project file it gives me this error..
02:19:28 [561 mils] : Save Failed - Mixcraft failed to save the project:
E:\Acoustica Mixcraft 9\Mixcraft Projects\110110.mx9
The file may currently be in use by another application, or you may be out of space on your drive.
(Also, if you are saving to a removable flash drive make sure it is plugged in.) I tried moving the file onto other drives thinking it could be a storage issue, but that didnt help. I cleared all the temp saves, but no luck....any suggestions, or am I gonna have to re-install it?

Re: Files cant be saved
Saving to a drive other than the boot drive usually causes problems.

I wouldn't say "usually." It can be a problem if an external drive changes drive letters, for example.Rolling Estonian wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 10:55 am Saving to a drive other than the boot drive usually causes problems.

What's your temp folder set to in General preferences? Try resetting it to the default location (there's a button for that).
Mixcraft has to have write permission for the folder where you're saving. For example, trying to save to a protected Windows folder like C:\Program Files\ would cause this problem. That's why we put projects into Documents\Mixcraft Projects\ folder by default.
Get it to happen again, then quit Mixcraft and send us your mixcraft-log.txt file.
To find the mixcraft-log file, highlight the following line and press Ctrl+C to copy it:
Code: Select all
%appdata%\Acoustica\Mixcraft\

Re: Files cant be saved
Hi, everyone!
I wanted to weigh in on this issue since I have been encountering it for a few days.
My fix was in the lower left hand side of the screen, under the PROJECTS tab.
The default file directory for new projects had changed to a folder that didn't exist.
After changing it back to C:\Users\Me\Desktop\My Music Projects, the proper directory, this issue ceased.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
That setting only affects the current project. If anybody has this issue, check the Default Project Folder setting in Recording preferences.

Re: Files cant be saved
I had the same trouble. It was bias FX 2. I just deleted them out the FX menu for the tracks and it saved. Then added them back .
