Leading up to my issue....

I have my recorded loops and sounds in tracks.
I recorded a performance and all of the performance data / automation shows up and moves on the mixer screen. To help with the lack of ram, I freeze alot of the tracks. Everything works great even after I freeze the tracks.

The problem I run into is this...
After all this, I save it. After I come back to it, the first thing that pops up is a screen asking me if I wish to locate my frozen .wav file. I say cancel since I have no idea what that means. Once the program opens, all the data is still there but, when I hit play, all of my tracks are disengaged. As it moves through the performance data, again, the mixer volumes move around but no sound.

I try clicking the play buttons onthe tracks to engage them but it only turn it on so it loops and does not play according to the performance.

I appologise if there is any confusion but thats the easiest way I can describe it. Thanks

from page 62 in the manual

"5.6 Offline and Lost Files
If you load a Live Set or Live Clip that references samples missing from their referenced locations, Live will issue a warning message and ask whether you want to locate the missing files.
If you do not, the Live Set or Live Clip will open anyway, with the clips that reference missing Files marked Offline. Live will play silence in place of the offlne clips. You can nd the missing les by selecting offline clips and clicking the Clip View’s Replace button (see Replacing the Clip’s Sample)."

then onto page 104...

8.2.5 Replacing the Clip's Sample
To replace the sample referenced by the clip with a different sample, drop the new sample directly from the File Browser into the Clip View. Clip settings like pitch and volume will be retained. The Warp Markers will be retained only if the new sample has the exact same length as the old sample.

Tip: When bringing multitrack audio from another program into Live for remixing, it is convenient to set Warp Markers for only one of the composite samples and copy the same set of Warp Markers to the other tracks. This can be easily done provided the individual samples have the exact same length (which usually is the case if they all have been exported from several tracks in one go): Pick the sample with the clearest rhythmical pronunciation and set the Warp Markers for this sample as described elsewhere (see Time-Warping Samples). Next, make enough copies of this clip to hold all the individual samples, and drop the samples from the Browser into the clips. The Warp Markers will be retained, because the samples all have the same length.
