Hello, when trying to "digital release" I get "could not create audio file". I was mastering and creating M4A, MP3 and WAV files in the project page just fine then all of a sudden I started getting that message? Any ideas?

I also suddenly got this message this afternoon. I am finishing some projects, and everything went fine. Then suddenly the system got stuck. I even tried with testing files.
This has nothing to do with missing files, even if the message says that.
All the files are in the same directory, and the wave file in the Project window plays 100%
But when exporting is complains that some files are missing.
I was under the impression the wave file in Project is used to transport, so why is SO looking for other files?

i just had this issue as well. for some reason, unchecking "Add artist to file name" allowed the export to go thru.

why that worked i couldn't tell you, but maybe give it a shot?

I was having the same thing and unchecking the "add artist name to file" also worked for me -- however presonus should really fix this bug or at least make it clear if there are things that studio one will not let us include in the artist name for it to process.
