UNABLE TO SAVE PROJECTS WITH STEMS....

in MPC Beta 3...

Not sure if this a Bug or not...Or whether or not it was mentioned. I tried to search it. But...Lately I've noticed that When Stem a Sample out, Add it to a Program, Process it, etc....When It comes time to Save my Project, I get a "Cannot Save XPJ to Location". I'm unable to save to ANY Location. Happened a couple of Times. My 1st occurrence, I had abandon the whole Beat. 2nd Time...I was able to save most of my Drum Programs separately. Finally I bounced my main Track to an Audio File. Then I noticed, It's only happening with my Stem Files.
My only workaround is to Stem a File, Process it, then Bounce It To an Audio File...THEN Delete anything Associated with the Original Stem. Only then Am I able to save Projects as Normal.

Let me know if I'm the only one experiencing this!

Yep, happened to me also today.

possibly sample name length messes up the system.
Notice that when you name/rename your sample, it's allowed to have 32 characters only and although you can load a sample with much longer name, renaming it will truncate the name to 32 characters. When you stem out a sample it will contain waaaay more characters in a format such as:
samplename + [timestamp - 19 characters including brackets] + - type of stem (bass/drums etc) so in some circumstances the name of a sample might be possibly way longer than it can save (?)

True indeed. But I've renamed my Stems Super short and simple. I was wondering if someone can duplicate my Problem to see if its a Bug or not. I Duplicated it Three times already. I may be doing somethin stupid lol

disregard that bit as it turned out that samples I was loading had those timestamps in the name already ([2024-12-17 165321]) so it's not the stem function that add unnecessary characters
anyway, I've spent last half an hour loading/stemming/truncating/renaming etc... and each time was able to save the project without any problems
I mean, normally I don't use stems extensively so maybe there's something I don't do but reason I tried is that you're not the only person mentioning this behaviour. I've seen a couple of posts on FB regarding exactly this issue as well

Its been Hit or Miss...with the "NOT Saving Projects with Stems". All I know is when I bounce the Track with something Stemmed, to a Wav, then reload the Wav to another track, and Delete the Stemmed Track, only then am i able to Save my Project
