I've been getting write permission errors for some instruments, though not all, from a project I'm working on.
I'm attempting to export tracks as stems to a friend, but I can't seem to figure out from other posts what the issue is as I've tried putting "Full Control" in the security settings of all my instrument files. This leaves my export incomplete.

It specifically says:

"Could not open file C:/(INSERT MY DIRECTORY HERE).wav for writing. Please make sure you have write permission to the file and the directory containing the file and try again!"

Please help!

I dont understand how a wave-file gets involved
LMMS cant (yet) export project-components -unless you have compiled Master.
Wave make no sense, you can export tracks in off. LMMS, but that is all
what are your export-settings?
What is your OS? -
Is your home-directory default?

I'm using the 'Export Tracks' setting to individually export tracks.

My OS: Windows 10 on Lenovo PC

My home-directory default is my lmms folder in my documents

How would you be able to do export them individually through the master method?

That all perfect

Correct you cant File| Export Tracks is the correct export setting -

Lets go through it:
First it is smart to create a folder on a full-right-partition of your pc. Stay away for anything in the OS area! Windows will not let you use it! Your 'Document' folder could be used, but if you use a SSD<= 125GB, you should select, either a storage disk, if one is installed, or a USB.
Now you have defined a folder:

* You choose File| Export Tracks
Choose export-file-format
Browse for the folder where you want the export-files -the one you just made!
Press save
In the Export-setting-UI choose additional export-settings of your choice
Press Start
Lmms runs through your project ones for every track! You should not press any controller during this process!
The result is one sound-file, for each project-track, in the folder you made as first item in this sequence.
Each exported track is named in sequence, starting with: '1_<name-of-track>.<ext> , 2_<name-of-track>.<ext> to ... n_<name-of-track>.<ext>

Let us know the outcome :)
