What's up with that? How do I fix this? BTW, These 3 sessions are in one Folder. They share one audio files folder. Is this reason for missing files in my first post? Should each session have it's own audio files folder?
Ideally, each session would be its own folder(each with its own Audio Files folder) and all could live inside a master folder for the artist/project. I have often had files I import NOT get saved in the proper folder, even though I have preferences set to "Automatically Copy on Import", so now I actually drag or copy audio files INTO the session folder, or actually drop them into the Audio Files folder and import from there. I suspect its a small bug that doesn't hit enough people to get attention(and a fix)

Ultimately, you can go to File>Save Session Copy, check the box to include audio files and save this copy session to any drive. Doing this will insure that all the audio related to that session WILL be copied to this new copy, regardless of where the audio was sourced from.
