recover my song in 2018
 

I just got a new computer and it has the new 2018 PT's...I saved my song to a hard drive before the old computer broke down and I am trying to recover it in PT's 2018 on the new computer.Everything shows up except the audio.I don't see any wave files on the edit screen...All tracks and plugins show up/..Do you think I didn't save it right?Don't the audio files save with the rest of the song..Thanks
P.S. not sure I have everything turned on and set up right in PT's

They'd be in the Audio Files folder on the original hard drive unless you stored them elsewhere.

If you were in the original session and went File>Save Session Copy, the next window would have a checkbox to include audio files. Could you have missed that? Is there an original version of the session on any other drive?

gee I don't know.I don't understand PT's very well not sure what I did.I don't remember that check box?I saved to another drive on the old computer but not sure what I did .I thought I was doing it right .
What is the correct way to re-load a song from a drive .?Maybe I did that wrong.Maybe I was suppose to use import files.Ill have to go in and try again .I'm a little confuse as usual.Thanks

I think I went ''save as'' so I guess I did it wrong lost all my audiogee

Any chance you still have that old computer, or at least the drives from it?

Hi Jeffro
yea I have it ill take it in tomorrow and see if I can get it..Don't you think all the song data would be on my recording drive or should I have them try and retrieve the stuff on my C drive too..thanks

If you open your session that's missing audio, then open the Session Browser Window (option-o) it will show you the location of the audio files for that session (even if the drive is not online) - sort by path and you should be able to quickly see exactly what drive any offline audio is located on.
