I’m having a problem retaining existing media in a session.
I’ve imported the files, both from Freesound and my hard drive - same problem. The ‘Copy to session’ check box is ticked, so they should be firmly connected to the session - yes?
After editing and copying the files on a track, everything plays nicely - the sounds are definitely there and being played back - I made sure I did a File>Save.
When the session is re-opened however, the imported stuff has all disappeared from it’s track. Also, on doing a FIle>Cleanup>Cleanup unused sources, the files I previously imported are all listed and are removed from the session.
So my question is, how do I get the files to remain where I put them?
Hi Seablade. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - trying to do too many things at once! Below is the log when I re-open the session:
