I'm having a major struggle with trying to get my racks to save the samples contained within them. I'll have a sampler with many many samples inside (many times over 100), racked in an instrument rack, and saved as a preset. I also have these saved instrument racks dropped into drum cells in the drum rack, and that also saved as a preset.
I have it set to "always" in the files/folders section where it deals with collecting files, but that doesn't help. I can tell the presets don't have the samples saved in them since their file size is so small. I want to be able to move the presets to my laptop, but doing so makes them usless since when loading them up, it can't find the files. So I figured I would load all the presets into a project, then save the project with the "collect and save" option in the files menu. I thought this would work for sure, but the size of the project was far to small to have contained the samples, and when I opened it up on my laptop.. sure enough, the presets won't work cause they can't locate the samples.
What am I doing wrong here? I've been able to "self contain" an ableton project before and move it to another computer. But for some reason these instrument & drum racks presets I'm saving won't. Its been driving me crazy for a few days, none of the stuff I'm trying seem to work.
