Good question.
On the right hand side of the screen there is a dialog box that is reporting the file 85bpm_2.wav is missing.
What this means is that where you found the file in the Live browser, on the the left hand side, isn't really the file.
It is metadata that describes the "last known location of the file".
If you right click on the file in the in the Live browser you if will give you an option to view the file in Finder. Finder will show you the actual file.
Most likely when you do this it will open a disk or folder and the file is not there but it should give you a hint as to where the file once was.
Maybe in another project folder that has been moved or deleted.
On the right hand side, the Missing File dialog box, has an option to have Live go looking for it on you behave. Sometimes it works just fine. However, if the file was on a removable drive and the drive has been removed it can't be found.
I hope you find it.
