![]() It's of course OK to save additional set files actually belonging to this project into here and it doesn't make much sense to save these to somewhere else unless you're starting a new version like a remix or something that you want to keep separate. Never save another new set into this folder structure! Ever. If there is no such folder it will be created when you have audio files in the set. The latter "Samples" folder is where your recordings and freeze files will go. Another folder called " Samples" provided you have audio in the set.Next to that a folder called " Ableton Project Info".Inside this folder a file named ".als".If you start a New Live Set from scratch and save everything into a new project folder at once - which you must do standing in the save dialog window NOT inside an existing project folder but in the parent folder - and make sure after having saved under a unique name that there is Or the samples are wherever and are moved, either by the user or by some process that "tidies" things. Typically this is in an older set in another set folder. The only reason files are missing is because the user forgets where the original files are and how keep track of them. It's not just a "one day my files were gone" random glitch, I find that very hard to believe. Did you move sessions from one project folder to another? Save As to a new location without Collect all and Save afterward? There's gotta be a reason for this behavior. I've never, ever seen Ableton delete or move a file that it needs. That should be your first clue in figuring out what's going on- what is the location, why is the file not there, etc. And remember: in the missing file list, when you select the file name it will show you EXACTLY where it thinks the file should be, but isn't. Ableton is smart on this score: it's looking for them, and telling you they're gone. Or some weird computer error, perhaps, if you're losing files. Not trying to be a dick, but this does seem like human error, not DAW. ![]() Since all sessions refer to the project folder in which they exist, I'm wondering if you're somehow deleting files in that project folder, not realizing that a given session in that folder needs them. It does NOT just randomly move your files around or delete them. I've had my share of problems with Ableton, but in my 8 years of heavy usage, I've NEVER had it just go and lose a file mysteriously.Ībleton is actually very, very smart about its approach to file maintenance. The file names look like this: "0001 9-Audio R.aif" ? PROJECT FOLDER/Samples/Imported/AreYouJoking.wav PROJECT FOLDER/Samples/Processed/Reverse/TheAudioYouReversed.wav PROJECT FOLDER/Samples/Processed/Freeze/TheAudioYouFroze.wav PROJECT FOLDER/Samples/Processed/Consolidate/TheAudioYouConsolidated.wav PROJECT FOLDER/Samples/Processed/Crop/TheAudioYouCropped?.wav PROJECT FOLDER/Samples/Recorded/TheAudioYouRecorded.wav PROJECT FOLDER/AudioFiles/TheAudioInTheSong.wavĪnd then simply leaving it in the song folder. Place the audio into the song's project folder? How is it so impossibly difficult for this particular DAW to How does audio DISAPPEAR from a project when it was not moved since recording it? This is UNIQUE to this the Ableton Live DAW.Ībleton is definitely the expert at losing audio files (the day after they're recorded). To put the finishing touches on it before sending it outįor mastering, and seeing: "Media files are missing". ![]() There's nothing in this world quite like opening a project
