How to open ADDOC file?
An often recurring problem with AudioDesk Project Format is that ADDOC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ADDOC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ADDOC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install AudioDesk

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ADDOC with AudioDesk.

Programs to open ADDOC file
Remember to download programs supporting ADDOC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AudioDesk with ADDOC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ADDOC file still does not use the AudioDesk program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AudioDesk application as the default for handling the ADDOC file.
Step 3. Update AudioDesk to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AudioDesk program with the AudioDesk Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the MOTU, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ADDOC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ADDOC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ADDOC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ADDOC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ADDOC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ADDOC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ADDOC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ADDOC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ADDOC file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
