Default Audio files, where are they?

So I've noticed that not all my audio files are NOT in the project audio files folder. Is there something I can check off to make this happen....btw where do they go?
Thanks

You haven't moved the session around from drive to drive via drag and drop have you?

If the session opens ok, then simply chose: file menu, save session copy, and click all audio files and PT will gather them all up into a new session for you.

Also, go into preferences and check "copy files on import."

Default Re: Audio files????Where are they

Indeed, there are several ways for a user to mess this up(trust me, I learned the hard way). 2 things I will toss out for you:

#1-whenever I import audio, no matter where it comes from, I ALWAYS move/copy it into the session folder, BEFORE I use the Import audio command.(I have had "copy files on import" checked in preferences, but still had imported audio still come up as off-line)

#2-if you open a "template" session and then(once it has opened) you save it to your recording drive, this is not the way to do it. either CREATE a new session from a template(not sure what version of PT you have, so there may be stuff you are not aware of). Or, create a blank session on your recording drive, then go to File>Import session Data>point to your template session and import all the tracks(this was/is the work-around in older versions of PT that did not offer the ability to "Save as Template"(from the FILE menu)

A good habit that I need to do every time!
