Opening a recent file and audio is lost

Visage

I have made a few changes to some of my MP3s and saved the project as I went along.

When I open the recent projects the audio is gone.

The segments are still in place, I have no idea how this could have happened.

Looking back at everything I have saved and nothing is showing any audio.

I'm working with MixPad Multitrack Mixer Master's Edition.

Thanks for any advice.

Okay....

So a few hours later I went back in and everything was as it should be. I have no idea what happened and I left it and tried again today. Everything is still as it should be. So I guess there is no problem here.

Hi Visage,

I'm glad the problem has been resolved. I just have a couple of questions to help me clarify what happened when you saw that the audio was gone. I'd like to know just in case there is a bug hiding under the surface which needs fixing.

1. Were there any waveforms drawn in the clips, or were they completely blank?

2. Had you recently moved any files from the project directory?

3. Did you try and play the project, and if so, did you hear anything?

Hi Ben

1. There were completely blank. (I took a screen shot, however I'm having trouble trying to post the image here)

2. I moved the files around my documents and initially thought that was the problem.

3. I did hit play and it moved with the time counting as normal, there was no sound.

It was some time later that I went back and tried again to find them as they should be.

Hi Visage,

When you move files around you need to make sure that the MixPad project file (YourSong.mpdp) and its corresponding data folder (YourSong.mpdp.ProjectData) are moved to their new locations together.

Could I also just ask which version of MixPad you are using?

Thanks for the advice Ben.

I'm using 3.88

Is this the latest version?

Hi Visage,

The latest version is 3.91, but 3.88 is very recent. I was asking in case you were using a very old version which may have contained a known bug.

Ben
