Hi!
Eventually I,ll figure this all out! But I have another question!
I am actually finishing a song! I converted my song to sequence, so I havhe a long sequence that plays everything. Then I recorded one of my synths to audio track 1. It recorded fine, I added some automation and saved the project before shutting off the MPC. But when I load again my project. The audio track doesn't load and the automation is all gone...

I managed to reload my audio files in the audio track. Recorded new automation, saved again and closed the MPC.

When I load my project again, no audio track, no automation...
AM I doing something wrong? 'cause I guess it's not normal nor useful if your audio doesn't load along the midi data upon project loading.

Thx

Me too is having this issue. Could not figure out what is going wrong :-(
Would be happy too, to get an answer.

Hi yeah that'S unfortunate...

Did you try on different projects? Me I just have one complete project so far and now I encountered this issue which makes the mixdown and export a hassle... I was thinking of trying in a different project if it's the same thing...

Hey so somebody helped me fix this problem! SO it appears that when a midi track is named the same as an audio track, it doesn't save properly! I changed the name of my audio track and now it works! Hopefully it also solves your problem!

Thank you for the feedback!
Sounds odd, but MUST believe you, as I always do this :-)
- Midi-Synth => play along and tweak the knobs... record.
- Recording => same name to keep the two together
Little adjustment to my workflow ....

Just did a test, it is the "MIDI Program" causing the issue.
But it is basically correct - I recorded the two audio lines at the same time:
- Midi Track called "Test"
- Midi Program called "Test"
- Audio 1 is called "Test"
- Audio 2 is called "Test1"

After reopening the project:
- Audio 1 lost its file
- Audio 2 is fine

Corrected the naming of the recorded:
- Midi Program is called now "Test2"
- Audio 1+2 are fine

Thanx again for the tip - it was annoying to keep re-adding the correct file
