Hi there, I'm running into problems (I'm on Mac Monterey) with my Wwise project freezing when I'm trying to import audio files into a music segment.

I'm storing the projects in my Dropbox folder, and wonder whether this has something to do with it? I'd really like this to be possible, as I often work on implementation things when I'm away from the studio.

I realise this is a little vague, and it's always difficult to diagnose crashes etc, so I'm happy to upload any crash dump files etc if anyone might be good enough to take a look at them? Or just let me know that Wwise doesn't play nice with Dropbox? Either is fine.

Thanks for your help.

Have you had the chance to run the same project, the same Wwise version and do the same on a different computer? I would avoid using files stored on DropBox / OneDrive / Google Drive etc... I've no idea why but I always encountered issues. The second thing is that Monterrey is still quite an issue in itself. I've had students having problems with many audio software.

Thanks, I'll try that. I can always check in and check out the file. It doesn't seem to matter which computer I run it on. I'll try and few things. Thanks for the thoughts.
