Track went missing/offline after upgrading RAM
Hey everyone,
I’m running into a strange issue where a single audio file (track 11-07) went missing from my project folder. The surrounding tracks (11-04, 11-05) are perfectly fine and still in the folder, but 11-07 completely vanished.
Here is what I’ve checked so far:
- I didn't delete anything, and the file isn't in my Recycle Bin.
- I turned on "Hidden Items" in Windows Explorer, but it's not there.
- I searched my entire PC using the "Everything" app, and it shows 0 results for the file name.
Crucial context: I recently upgraded my RAM from 8GB to 16GB by adding a new 8GB stick right around this time.
Because the Project Bay path is completely blank, did REAPER fail to write the file from RAM cache to the hard drive due to a memory hiccup? Is there any way to recover this, or is the file permanently gone?
Thanks for any help!
edit: my c drive (ssd) is almost full (but i store my projects in a separate drive which has plenty of space)
