Reason and file locations

[Andywanders]

Had to re-format my C drive a couple of weeks ago (long story)... Anyway, since then I've been re-installing programs and everything's been fine....

Until I re-installed Reason. Whenever I try to load one of my songs which contain my patches and samples, it can no longer find them (the samples), even though they are still in the same directory as they were before I re-formatted.

None of my other software is doing this (Logic or Soundforge).

I can find them manually and load them in, but after saving the song again, it still does the same thing.

Also, there's one song that completely refuses to load and crashes Reason.

Any ideas..?

Reason's file browser has an inherent default as far as I'm concerned. When you have extra reFills, the find all refills button just loads up the factory install. Evena after you locate them manualy, they don't stay in the browser's 'memory', & you have to navigate to them again.

This doesn't answer your question, but I feel your pain, as navigating within that deidicated browser can be a real PITA..

I look forward to Reason 3 in more ways than 1. Or 2, 3, 4, even 5 for that matter

If you reload them, manually, and save the file again, it should remember them in the song... but if not, try reseting your default file locations in Reason, sometimes that will work. Basically Reason looks in the file locations you set, and if there not in there, or you change the names, that's bad! sometimes you have to throw away the preferences file, and resave the stuff, but with a lot of tunes, it's pretty bad... I had to do the same thing myself, when I moved a bunch of stuff. Bet thing to do is dump all refills in one folder, and make that one of the 4 defaults! Hope that helps...

Thank's. I'll give it a try this weekend.
