Solved it.

Type the following into spotlight: ~/Library/Caches

Create a folder called: Ableton

Within that folder create a folder called: Cache

Ableton should now be working just fine :D

Just like you said, go to Spotlight using command+space bar, find the Caches folder, and dump in a new Ableton folder with a new folder called Cache in it. Magic!

Don't use unnecessary software without decades of well documented Mac community record and reviews.

Had this happen today so I created a new Save Folder for the Export location & completed a restart of the PC.

This seems to have fixed the issue as I was able to export the MP3 & WAV files successfully and they are playable from the new folder.

I think the Cache is affected on a folder when there may be too many project MP3s & WAVs in it but I have no real clue because I'm not a Tech person.

I hope this works for others.
