LabRat Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 So a recent project has gone rouge and can't find some of the audio files. I've selected the folder they're and it's found 2 out of the 3 but all 3 of them are in there. Even though it's found the 2 it wont replace the files in the project. Does anyone know why this is? I'm really hoping I don't have to chop all these samples up again coz it was a bitch to do it the first time Quote
LabRat Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 So I've managed to locate the files but now it does this. the audio clips shop the start of the sample Quote
LabRat Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 So if anyone gets into this situation you're pretty well stuffed. I'm not even sure what to do to avoid this happening. I had to redo everything and that was quite annoying. I never moved my samples from their original location from import so it's got stumped… If I open the project today (or whenever) and it's don't it again, I guess the project is just bugged and even then I don't have an answer to how that could be Quote
Mitch Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 hmm that's super weird. Did you try a collect & save? Quote
LabRat Posted October 19, 2017 Author Posted October 19, 2017 nah it's not worth doing it if the samples are lost. Very bizarre Quote
BeatLeSS Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 How does the library work, you throw a song into ableton, chop it up, then shouldn't it store those files separately that go through the sampler? Quote

Ableton has a seperate file (that's essentially a copy of the original file) that stores the information so if you're dragging samples from your hard drive you need to have it connected in order to open the project again. There's a function called collect and save which locals the files and saves them in the ableton project folder. Logic for example, automatically stores those files in the logic project folder so logic reads all the information from the 1 folder rather than sourcing all its info from a million different places Quote
Mitch Posted November 13, 2017 Posted November 13, 2017 On that note, do you have a backup of the project file in time machine? Quote
