Hi Nickus, Yep, that mistake happens to most people at some point. Another one is to import a file without forcing Pro tools to copy it to the new location. The file then resides in its original location outside the session folder and all is well until the session folder is copied to an external drive for use at another studio or computer and suddenly Pro Tools is complaining about missing files. To avoid such a scenario, hitting the Copy button in the Import Audio dialog will force a new copy to be created in the Audio Files folder of the current session folder. Slau
