New Laptop - Offline Samples in Drum Rack!

[Digable Dialogue]

I got a new Macbook Pro. While recovering my data from my older laptop (in which I did a manual drag and drop back up since I didn't need EVERYTHING from my old system), I noticed that all my Drum Rack audio clips were offline from the Drum Racks. This is weird because those offline Drum Rack audio clips came from the same audio waves as my master song playback clips. They're brothers, twins! I copied the master 'Online' playback clips to the Session View and simply chopped those main clips up and put them in Drum Racks to re-perform/remix them on stage. Now after the back up, the copied and chopped Drum Rack audio clips are missing, yet the main audio in the Arrangement View are still online. If anything both set of audio should be offline.

Anyone have any leads on what may have happened so I can recover my main stage Live project without starting from hip hop choppy square one? Where does live save Drum Rack data if not in the same project folder as the song?

Bare in mind I tried to automatically and manually recover those clips in the help box. Had 86 "candidates" but nothing that was usable.

If you still have your old computer, 'collect and save' your projects ?

I don't have my old laptop but I have back ups of most all my projects. Problem is is I Collected all and saved. Problem is is my external drive back up project for my main stage performance for my band IS the one that's missing.

So when I attempted to reload my main stage performance, the saved audio clips location for all my Drum Racks must have been in a different location on my old laptops internal hard drive. Hidden away from where it loads the actual audio that runs playback for my set...I think that's why I don't have my Drum Rack audio. But that seems wrong because I chopped my Drum Rack audio content from the shit that's still there.

...I admit...I am vexed

Oh well, when Jah closes a door he opens a window. Starting from scratch will prove it's oppertunity as now I can devise a better way to interact with my set. But so much work.
