Ableton/Live/UG/05 Managing Files and Sets/06 Locating Missing Files
- When a Set, clip or preset references missing files, the Status Bar warns, affected clips and sample slots show "Offline", and they play silence.
- Click the warning to open the File Manager's missing-file list (Manage Files → Manage Set → Locate).
- Drag the right file from the browser onto its line in the missing-file list. Live accepts whatever file you give it.
- The Automatic Search Go button searches for missing files; its triangle shows options to search a chosen folder, the Project folder, and the Library.
- No candidate: try another folder or repair by hand. One: accepted. Several: press the line's Hot-Swap button and double-click candidates in the browser to choose, even while the music plays.
