The files shouldn't be disappearing like that. Are you sure they aren't being stored in a different location than the Audio Files folder? Check your Disk Allocation. It's always wise to have a backup too - sometimes files go missing for various reasons. When you make a recording, check to make sure the new files are actually stored in the session Audio Files folder and make a backup of the session when you're done. Fade files can always be recreated.
