Saved project audio files reported missing

Logic pro 10 - I havrecorded & saved several tracks sucessfully, but some now are coming back as missing the audio files
The location seems to be a sub folder within the logic folder entitled as the track name...but the folder does not exist!
Using spotlight on the named audio file that logic is looking for draws a blank
Whats happening? Is it me?
help?
Dave

This just happened to me as well. Recorded 4 short audio sessions. Saved them listened to them. Came back the next day and the tracks seem to be there but with no data. Unable lo locate files.
Now I'm nervous to use Logic.

Audio files are missing in iMovie HD 6

I have 10.5 installed and was using iMovie 08. I was having problems exporting a movie, some of the clips were all black. So I downloaded iMovie 06 and all the iLife audio files are missing.
They're still there in '08 but not '06. How do I get them in? Is there a way to import them?

I have never used Screenium nor do I know anything about it, but iMovie 6 prefers footage in .dv format. You may have more success if you use Streamclip to convert the .mov to .dv before importing it into iMovie 6

Logic Pro 9- I saved a song- the audio files did not bounce and are nowhere to be found. The song is still there, but the audio files are missing. Any ideas?

I have searched the computer by song name in the audio files.
I have opened up media files and looked everywhere.
I tried remapping where they would be saved and hoping they were updated.
Any help finding where they are located would be great. The song still loads when I open it, I just can't find the audio files!

Have you tried using the built in Browser in LP?

Note: It works the same way in LP9 as in LPX

Error saving Project 2010 files to network drive - doesn't see network drive

ANSWERED (11 April 2014):
So it seems the resolution to this is to simply create a new share with a different name. I used the existing folder (to retain NTFS permissions) and just select to Add a new Share (applying the same Share permissions as the non working Shares).
Deploying this new Share via Group Policy as a test resulted in staff being able to open files from Windows Search, save files through MS Project and the Share being accessible through browsing SMB.
All problems resolved by using a new share name for the existing folder. Seems to be a corruption in the namespace.
Note: I had previously deleted the share and recreated it. I had removed all NTFS permissions and readded (through both the GUI and icacls). This didn't make a difference.
Only changing the name of the share fixed the problem.
Original Question
Already
posted here... but Microsoft Support has not responded.
It seems some staff on some computers are having problems saving MS Project files to the network. This is only since an upgrade to SBS2011 (from SBS2003). The only difference now, is that network drives are mapped via group policy rather than a 'net
use' script.
This is affecting users on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, with either MS Project 2007 or 2010. The users have full change access to the folders and can create new files and modifying existing files, just not a MS Project file. Other file tyes, e.g
Word .docx, Excel .xlsx, Adobe .pdf files, all work fine. These files can be opened, edited and saved normally without problem.
To replicate this:
The user opens an existing file or creates a new file on the network folder (either through Windows Explorer or MS Project). They then click File > Save in MS Project and receive the following error (see pic below):
An interesting symptom of this is that if you select File > Save As in MS Project, the Sae As dialog box doesn't remeber the path location of the network drive. MS Project instead prompts to save the file in the local users documents folder (see pic below):
If they browse back to the original folder where the file was saved and choose to save it there, they are of course, prompted to overwrite the existing file and they can save the file. But the same thing happens every time they open the file.
It seems the problem is that Project isn't seeing the path of the file or that the network drive is attached.
If a user closes the file without saving it, they are prompted to save the file and the prompt shows the drive path:
Do you want to save changes to "N:\... Projects\Active Projects\CC...\F4 Project Plan File\004 Programme\test project file.mpp"?
But choosing to save the file gives them the same result as Save As, they are prompted for a new location as if the original file location doesn't exist.
I have disconnected the mapped drive and connected it again using net use but get the same error.
I have reinstalled MS Project 201, installed Project 2010 SP2 and installed Windows updates and it does the same thing, exactly the same symptoms.
Further, if the user opens a file from the network drive, the file shows in the Project recent files list. If they try to open the file from the recent files list in project they get the following error:
"Project cannot open the file.
-Check that the file name and path are correct.
-Check that the file format is recognized by Project.
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 98 can't be opened...."
This is a test file that I created on the user's computer and network drive, This is being opened with the same version it was created in. If I browse to the folder in Windows Explorer I can open the file. Of course, I then can't save the file (I still get
the original error). I'm logged on with Domain Admin privileges.
I've checked these links from other threads (neither apply to my scenario):

I've downloaded my TechNet version of he software and installed it with Sp2 and Windows updates and it does the same thing. This also happens on the Remote Desktop server (Server 2008 R2) using MS Project 2007.

Case 1
This error message appears when the document is open on two or more computers that are running different operating platforms. For example,
if the document is open on a Macintosh computer and you open it on a second computer running Windows or Windows NT, the error occurs when either user tries to save the document.
This problem stems from a difference between the ways Macintosh OLE and Windows OLE open files. As a result, you cannot save a file on two different operating platforms at the same time.
Case 2
This error occurs in Word 97 for Windows if you save to a MAPROOT type network drive connection on a NetWare server where spaces exist in
the file or folder name.
Case 3
This problem may occur if an anti-virus program running on a network has the ability to scan for macro viruses in documents in shared network
folders.
For example, if you have the following:
a shared folder on a network server
-and-
an anti-virus program is running on the network server that is set to monitor the shared folder,
when you attempt to save a document (across the network) to the shared folder, the anti-virus checker may cause the error to occur.
Case 4
This problem may occur on Novell networks when the AutoRecover files path is either blank or set to a network drive.
According each, please try the following workaround:
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods appropriate to your situation.
Case 1
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Save a copy of the
file with a different
file name, and work on the copy, either on your hard disk or on the server.
Case 3
Method 1:
Move the document to your local hard disk for editing. Move it back to the server after you finish.
Method 2:
Do not use spaces in the directory or document names.
Method 3:
Do not use MAPROOT-drive connections. Map your drive connections to the volume-level only.
Case 4
Turn off the anti-virus protection on the network server and then try to
save the document. Contact your anti-virus protection software company for additional details and/or updates to their programs.
Case 5
Set the AutoRecover files path to your local drive. To change the AutoRecover path, use the following steps:
1.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
2.
On the File Locations tab, select AutoRecover files and then click Modify.
3.
Change the Modify Location dialog box to a
folder on your local drive and then click OK.
4.
Click OK to close the Options dialog box.
Hope that helps.

Session saved correctly, but files are missing from multitrack?

Started a recording last night with multiple wav files. Audition crashed about 2 or 3 times during recordings, but became stable after a while (after continuing the session). When recoring was done, I saved the file and everything seemed to be working correctly and closed the program no files were missing at this point. When I came in this morning, Audition said that some wav files were missing. So i searched all over the computer and temp files but couldn't find a single trace of them. What happened to the files?
More info:
OS: Windows 7
Version: Audition CS6
Temp directory: Default
Last working state: Last night
Non-working state: Morning after (PC went into sleep mode over-night)
Working wav files sequence: Track 1_065.wav , Track 1_066.wav , Track 1_067.wav , etc..
Missing files: Track 1_006_1.wav , Track 1_012.wav , & Track 1_019.wav
Thank You

If Audition crashes the wav files and all are still there when it starts back up. However, if I save it and close, then the wav files are gone . . . nowhere to be found. It seems like Audition is saving them in a temporary folder. According to Audition the clip I need is located here: c:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Audition/6.0/<series of numbers and letters>
However, that temp folder apparently is getting deleted as it doesn't exist. I am currently running a Data Recovery program to see if I can get the file back, but it seems like it's not going to find it.
Thank you for explaining exactly what's happening. On the face of it, I suspect that the information Audition had about where the files were supposed to be is getting lost in the crash. It would appear that the recovery data can be relocated correctly, but because it now has no path to save to, it disappears when you try to save it - it would appear that this process gets the save/save as system out of sync completely.
In this situation, almost certainly the best thing to do is to export the re-opened files as a separate action, and don't try using 'save' at all - because that really is going to lose them.
Is it a bug? Not sure. But you really should attempt to find out why your system is crashing Audition, that's for sure...

How do make sure the only audio files in my "Audio Files" folder are what are currently used in my project?

I noticed my hard drive space was getting suspiciously low...
After doing a little digging I realized that every single audio file (even the ones i have deleted segments for in my projects' arrange windows) are being saved in every one of my projects' "Audio Files" folders.
One 4 minute song (comprised of 3 guitars, 1 bass, Midi drums, and a syth) has a cooresponding "Audio Files" folder containing over 1,600 Wav files and is consuming 3.0 + Gigs of hard drive space FROM THAT SONG ALONE!
It seems as if every take i have ever recorded (even If it is no longer represented in my projects's arrange windows) remains saved in these "Audio Files" folders.
Is there a setting/method to ensure what STAYS on my hard drive is only what is being used in the projects? There seems to be no logical reason for keeping every mistake that is otherwise deleted in the overall projects.
there must be... because hand-weeding out every file it too daunting a task to be feasible.....
THANKS!

Hi
When you delete a recorded region from the Arrange, Logic gives you an option to 'delete' or 'keep' the underlying audio file. You must've chosen to keep, or you have only been deleting regions which only refer to part of the file, so the whole audio file is still being 'used'.
One method of cleaning up is to go to the Audio Bin, choose Edit:Select Unused, and then Delete.
If you (really) want to tidy up further, you could use the Optimise Files function Audio Bin:Audio Files (but I'd suggest that you read up on that function in the manual to fully understand what it will do).

Reloading saved audio files?

Basic question. I'm using LPX and I have it set to copy audio files into project. I then deleted one of my takes from the track / timeline area, which gave me a warning, asking if I wanted to save the audio file (as I had no other used instances of it at the time in my tracks). I said yes to save and it said it was saved to my project. Now I would like to go and listen to that take again. How do I open it? Where can I find it? I'm sure this is obvious to some of you, but any help is appreciated!

The upper right corner is the "Browser" icon. If you click there, you should see all your project audio files.

2 Questions: Missing audio files...and How to delete audio files

I have two nagging issues associated with my podcast at iTunes.
First, audio files are missing from the podcast. Everytime I post m4a files to my podcast, they are added to an xml file, and to the podcast. The xml file is complete, but some files are not making the trip to the podcast.
Second, I have a need to delete some of the audio files which appear in my podcast. How do I do that?
Thanks!

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

Finding audio files.

I inadvertedly saved some audio files to the desk top. When I put them in the right folder and went back to the song it asked where are the files? How do you tell Logic to look in a diffrent place to find them?

Open the Project Manager and either add the path to its search paths, or have it do an extended search. That should aid Logic in finding your audio files.

Logic Pro X: Audio file not found?

I have Logic Pro X, and this problem has never occurred before but...
I was mixing one of my songs and everything was perfect, then I made sure to save it.
As I reopened literally 10 seconds later (not sure why I even closed it) it was showing me a message that said "Audio file not found"
At least 12 audio files went missing out of nowhere. It's only the files recorded from Logic that are not found.
I tried to locate them through my Finder but I don't know where my audio files are stored onto my macbook, and it doesn't seem to be in an easily accessible place.
It's just weird because they were all fine just before I closed Logic, then they disappeared.
I checked the audio bin in Logic and they seem to be there but they seem corrupted.
If anyone can help, or at least show me where audio files are stored on your mac from recording through Logic, that may help.
Thank you.

To clarify:
Logic Pro X
I have also experienced this issue as a result of having recording delay set other than zero, and rectified it by returning to 0.
Otherwise,
[Command 8] or
Window > Open Project Audio, select audio files that appear flatline, click 'Audio File' menu at top left, click 'Refresh Overview(s)'.
No way I know of to auto-enable this.

Can't find audio file

Hello-
Using Logic 8 here on OS 10.5.8. I'm working on one project on two computers (at work during the day, and at home, during the night). While working I'm adding audio files to the project (audio files are being copied into the audi file folder for the project). However, when I move the project (with the entire folder, I mean copy the entire project folder including audiofiles to the other computer), when I open the project up on the new computer, I always get an error message saying that it can't find the new audio I had added while working on the other computer. The problem is, it changes the name of the files it wants... what happens is while working on computer 1 I add a file called "car" to the arrange and the file car is in the audio folder. Everything seems fine. However when I open the project up on the new computer (having copied the new "car" file as well) when it opens it says that it can't find the file called "car#F2EAE"... a file which I cannot find existing ANYWHERE on either computer (computer 1 or 2)... when I try to manually link the file "car" to "car#F2EAE" I get different results, usually something is changed, or I get an "invalid region" error and the audio file wont link. Does anybody have any idea what this is? I mean if I did something like timestrech the "car" file and it would create a new file then I could understand that, but still I copy ALL of the files that Logic is creating... it doesn't seem to be throwing any files anywhere else... I really don't understand. Any ideas why this is? The only big difference I can see is that the work computer is power PC imac and my home is an Intel Mac Pro... but still they run the same versions of the OS and Logic.

You have fallen victim to the atavism of Logic: it cannot handle filenames longer than 31 characters, it will rename those files in the style of your example. I bet the file was named carspeedingdownemptyhighwayandbraking.wav or something like that...
Sadly, the only way to avoid it is to keep filenames shorter than 31 characters.
There have been quite a lot of rants about this. And rightly so. It is a major omission that this restriction from the days of 40MB harddisks is still there.
regards, Erik.

Is it possible to save a Logic Pro document without audio files?

Everytime I choose save as package with the include audio files option deselected the package is always saved with audio files included anyway! Has anyone found a way (other than manually copying the document) to do this in Logic Pro? Thanks.

Yoi should be able to do so.. but unfortunately, for some unknown reason.. you cannot at this time.
Selecting or deselecting the 'Include audio files' option makes no difference... so one can only assume its an unfixed bug at this time.

After saving project upon reopening one of my video files and it's corresponding audio is red

After saving project upon reopening one of my video files and it's corresponding audio is red (both are offline). Attempts at relink result in a warning that the audio will be deleted (which is does when tested).
This project is based on a multicam sequence (2 video files) and using Pro CC (latest Cloud build).
Anyone come across this and/or have a solution? Thanks in advance.

Appreciate your assistance and guidance Mark. Yes, I am a newbie on this forum - and fairly new to premiere pro though have used elements since version 4. I'll answer your leads below.
First off, some bookkeeping & jargon matters:
"you reported the file extension (.mts) but not the codec of the video therein. AVCHD?"
.mts files are Sony AVCHD files. filmed with Sony NXCAM NXU5 camera.
"re: the version you're on, rather than simply stating "the latest," it helps to report the exact version numbers as shown in the About box. That not only avoids any confusion today but also aids customers who come upon a thread months from now."
Version is 7.2.0
"you refer to "rendering" to a new format. I know that "render" is the right term in some NLEcosystems, but with Premiere we distinguish between rendering and exporting/encoding. Rendering is reserved for creating preview files for smoother playback within PPRO, whereas exporting/encoding covers writing a sequence out to an output clip."
My bad - I exported/encoded the sequence to a new output clip.
Now back to our regularly scheduled troubleshooting. Three questions:
did you start this project in CC7.1 and then update to 7.2/7.2.1 along the way?
I started this in 7.2.0
are either of the clips in the multicam sequence spanned?
I don't know what "spanned" refers to
I gather that you created the multicam sequence via the new workflow in the Project panel: select the clips, right-click>CreateMulticamSourceSequence. Am I right?
Correct
If so, please create a new sequence, set the timeline to insert sequences as individual clips (via the left-most button under the timecode control), add the multicam sequence to the new sequence, and post a screenshot of the timeline.
Now all of a sudden I am able to open my project file(s) as before with no problems.... very curious.
I did this and then could not find my multicam sequence.... so no screen shot... BUT what happened?
thank you for your guidance with this.

Audio missing from saved project

Hi All...
New user here, first-time "test movie" combines video with ambient audio, stills and a music track. Based on Mr. Hunt's article, here's the background information:

Source audio format: 48,000 Hz Compresses stereo; project audio format 48,000 Hz 32-bit floating point stereo
Music track: MP3 source audio format: 44,100Hz compressed stereo; project audio format 44,100 Hz 32-bit floating point stereo; average data rate 23KB/sec
Still images: all JPEGs, some 1280 x 960, some 2048 x 1636, pixel depth 32, pixel aspect ratio 1.0.
Other app's typically running: IE and/or Firefox, perhaps MS word and/or Publisher, Mozilla's Thunderbird. However, I've "saved" this project with *no other apps* running, and there's still no audio.
Hope all this suggests a solution...
Thanks for your help, all...

Thanks for all this information, T.
So why are you editing a 1440x1080 video in a 1920x1080 project? If this is AVCHD footage, it's very important to use the right project settings.
That has no effect on your audio, of course. But it could affect your video quality when you output your file.
That say, can you explain what you mean by "Audio missing from save project"?
Do you mean that you don't hear the audio in Premiere Elements -- or that you don't hear it when you output, say, an MOV or WMV file?
What file format are you exporting and what are you playing soundless this file on?
And, finally, is there no audio whatsoever, or is only some audio (music, for instance) missing from your output?

How do I revert to replaced audio files being saved with the project file, *not* with the original audio files?

In the latest release, when you send an audio clip to Audition, the newly created audio clip - which was previously saved in the same folder as the project file - is saved next to the original audio file.
Makes sense, but for reasons to boring to go into, it's a major headache for my workflow, because it means combing through folders to find the files, instead of having them all in once place.
So how to I turn this off and revert to those files being saved next to the project file?
