Help / Fix / Put missing samples back
Put missing samples back
Find each missing sample by the fingerprint that the project recorded, and write a repaired copy of the Set.
How every fix works
- A fix never changes your own Set.
- A fix saves a new copy beside your Set. The copy has [repaired] in its name.
- Open the copy in Live and check it. Keep the one you like.
The screen is called “Put samples back”. Open it from the Fix tab.
Steps
- Press “Scan my whole library”. The scan writes nothing.
- When it ends, the screen says how many missing samples it can point at.
- Press “Write repaired copies”. A panel opens with the heading “Before we write anything”. It lists each project that gets a new Set.
- Press “Write the repaired copies” to continue, or “Cancel”.
When it worked
Nearfield writes a new Set beside your Set. The new Set has [repaired] in its name. Your own Set stays as it was.
For one project
On the Fix tab, press “Put samples back” on the project's row. Then press “Write a repaired copy”.
