How to open DTM file?

The most common problem when using Audio Module is that a specific DTM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DTM, 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 DTM 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 Awave Studio

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Awave Studio is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Awave Studio in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DTM files.

Programs to open DTM file

Remember to download programs supporting DTM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with DTM files

If, despite the installed application, the DTM file does not start in the Awave Studio application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DTM file with the Awave Studio program.

Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Awave Studio program, it is possible that Audio Module requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the FMJ-Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTM file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DTM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DTM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DTM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DTM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DTM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DTM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DTM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DTM file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
