I have recently transfered all my Magix stuff onto a new external drive (and rather foolishly it would seem split files into seperate genre & company folders rather then 1 big folder). Now I cannot load projects as the program cannot find the files. Is there a quick way to restore files or do I have to hunt each one down individually on the new drive?

Many thanx & appreciation for any assistance/tips in advance.

I will assume yu still have all yur old Magix stuff on whatever drive it was on, and now if I read yu correctly, you manipulaated the data as you were loading onto the new drive, and now it no workee. Delete/clean up the new drive...download the "old" Magix stuff intact unto the new drive after that see if everything appears to work...if it does, then start to re-align or whataever it is you wanted to do...one step at a time and make sure after each step, everything still works. This may take a little time, but your old way caused yu grief....and we don't want that, Good luck
Thanx Gnarly. Yes I transfered files from an old drive to a new one then regrouped & in some instances renamed them. I had to basically undo that and move all folders to a new grouping. After that it is time consuming but acheviable. You have to hunt down the Wav etc file you need then reload it to the track. It does however seem that if more then 1 wav etc has been used fom a folder then ALL are automatically reloaded. I then resaved in a new folder (along with TAKS of each individual wav etc) and also overwrote the original project. Then checked. Hope this helps anyone else who has this self-inflicted problem.
As I said it does take time but with patience it's quite a simple route to follow and retrieve what you thought maybe lost.
Righto off to rescue some more tracks ha ha.

Something I found out after weeks of frustration.....I was recording with some styles....I changed some of tahe pitches and they all worked EXCEPT for one, there was no pitch change....found out each pitch has its own file extensoin, and this one particular one had a different extension than all the others. I changed to file extensoin to match and Voila ! all was good !
