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.

Re: recover my song in 2018
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?

Re: recover my song in 2018
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 |

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

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.
