I lost my best sessions!
I lost my best sessions!
whoopzz.. i think I made a mistake ... kinda lost some of my tracks
When I make a backup of a project in Reason or another sequencer, I just save the project under a different name. So, I did this with a few of the Ableton sessions and now.... all of a sudden, Live doesnt find some clips (wav files). .... What the ...?! And I always save the set as "self contained"
What can I do to correct this?
Or am I screwed??
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If you first perform a "save as" for the set, giving it a new name (liek *newset*) and saving it in a new location, and then hit "save as self contain", the folder named "*newset* Sounds" should contain all the sounds in the set.
Is that what you did, in the same order ?
Kind regards,
a.

thanks, Ableton
But thats what I did..
Project A was self contained. (All my projects are in seperate folders, btw)
I saved Project A in a new folder under a new name (both folder and project got a new name). I then saved the new session as self contained again. Closed the session. Opened it again some time later and .... ...... some wavs were missing.. Actually, a lot of wav files were and still are missing
... I have no idea ... But I need them back!

I think we are not on the same level here
... I cant open the original sessions. The backed up session (that will be the last, most recent saved session) opens without a problem. the session that used to be the back up, wont open. Files are missing and they are nowhere... searched everywhere! Both automaticly and manually
One side note, might be important.. but I think all the freezed tracks are missing. But Im not a 100% sure.
Odd? .... I think so
I use 5.03 by the way. If it wasnt such a huge cpu hog, this wouldnt be a problem ... cause i back up and consolidate all clips so that live becomes stable again .... I want to keep the original so a backup is needed
