ProTools 7.4.2 Problem Mar 30, 2020 21:34:38 GMT -6

Hey folks,

I have here an old ProTools 7.4.2 LE on MacOS X. The Mac laptop I used to work with PT suddenly started giving me Audio Record Volume errors. I googled and found I have to go into Window, then Workspace and change Transfer Only to Record. But it won’t let me, saying ‘my HD cannot be designated as an Audio Record Volume because it is not a valid audio volume’. Any leads?

Best, Mark

Maybe this :
Fix: Cancel out of the dialog and, from the Window menu in pro tools, select Workspace. This brings up a window that lists the available volumes (hard drives, etc.). Look at the "A" column associated with the suspect volume. It probably shows up as "T" (for transfer). Click on the "T" and, from the little pop-up menu, select "R" (for record).
