Why Wont Ableton Read My Asd Files

Permit me starting time preface this post with a articulate proclamation that I admittedly already empathise and practice collect all and salve, avoiding nested projects, and Ever making sure that I do not have external files in a project or session that have non been gathered.

Recently I take been collaborating on a mix with someone where he bounces downwards guitar and vocal parts from pro tools that I load into my ableton session. Nosotros accept been having a nightmare of a time avoiding the sample offline problem with all these files that have been transferred over. They brainstorm as .wav files, but at some point they are altered to exist ".wav.asd" and the wav file goes completely missing.

I am doing some standard net searches on the ".wav.asd" extension and have had no luck finding any useful explanation. Would be very grateful; if someone who has solved this trouble can offer any direction or peace of mind. Besides if anyone else is dealing with the issue maybe we can bounce some ideas off each other. THIS STUFF IS FRUSTRATING!!!!

I have no solution, but I have to say the Abletons'south file management is the worst I've ever seen in a DAW. It'south accented shit.

My understanding of the .wav.asd is that the .asd portion is only where Ableton stores meta info about the original .wav such equally BPM and Warp info...I retrieve of it as Alive analysis of the .wav. In the .asd file there is no .wav information so if you are deleting the original .wav it is gone, you need both.

The wav isn't converted to an ASD file, Live makes an ASD file to comprise warping and clip info in addition to your wav. If you're sending each other asd files, yous're not sending any actual audio files.

Hey thank you for your guys input. I have been having the trouble here with this session for a while. I did gear up it today by manually searching for the files, however something screwy is going on with my situation.

My wav files in the project disappeared later I zipped the file. They became as such:

filname.wav.asd

And ableton could not locate them within my session. I did nonetheless manually search for the files and was able to locate them and manually get them in. I recommend for anyone having this result to search in their Os and not with the ableton file manager. I dear ableton but concur that this area is not so user friendly. Notwithstanding its not issues that are difficult to set up if you get outside the daw.

Cheers Over again!

maybe you didnt have the folder where information technology was saved added into the browser

it might be piece of cake to miss only at that place is an choice at the lesser of browser that says +add binder

it will say sample offline if the binder is not included in browser

Did you read the chapter in the Live manual on file management? .asd files are just actress files that Ableton creates when you load (or tape) audio files into a projection and incorporate metadata merely.
Y'all are proverb the wav files "dissapeared" when you zipped the file (which file?), that they "became .asd files" and and then later y'all managed to locate them manually anyhow! So...they did non dissapear or alter into .asd files at all.

Make certain to proceed the wav files and asd files together (though if they asd files become missing, Live volition recreate them when the audio files are loaded into a projection).
Where are you storing the audio files? In the projection binder? Or seperately?

Sorry but the whole thing sounds more like user-error to me than anything Alive is doing wrong.

Yes I am aware of the chapter.

As I said in the original post I admittedly accept been making sure to employ the file manager to collect whatsoever external files into my project folder at the end of each session. When I say they disappeared its because they were no longer in the project folder later I zipped it.

Also to be clear as I said in my concluding post the file extensions that they get are not .asd

They become "filename.wav.asd"

Typically I have both in the folder as follows:

filename.wav
filename.asd

The weird thing happening is in some cases these become combined into one file that is manifestly completely useless to live or any other application, filename.wav.asd

The wav'south were then gone in the projection folder (in one case unzipped), and the session which had previously constitute everything easily was in one case over again dislocated. This has happened a few times despite my diligent following of the recommendations of the chapter in the live manual for collecting external files into the project binder. Very strange happening I know. Luckily I had the original copies somewhere else.

Anyhow thanks for your input

Allright I see... is this on Mac or Windows? Might it accept something to do with showing/hiding file extensions that is causing Live to get confused?
The double extension .wav.asd is foreign. I can't be sure simply I seem to call up sometimes seeing double extensions when files were existence moved back and along between Mac and Windows systems.
Do these ".wav.asd"-files have the aforementioned filesize every bit the actual audio files? When you remove the .asd does it play back like a normal .wav file?

Not at all.

Y'all can have a filename.aif and a filename.wav in the same binder, and live volition add analysis files to both by merely calculation the asd-extension.

Are you zipping the folders with Alive and the particular Prepare all the same open? The sample files may be locked and inaccessible to the zip process.

nope, this does non point that the files take been 'combined'. it is not uncommon to create a new version of a file that has a new filename that includes the previous file type.

the file type extension is only the very final part afterward the final '.' grapheme. in the case of 'filename.wav.asd' the filename itself is 'filename.wav', so what you have there is simply ane of Alive's 'asd' files.

exactly what steps are you lot doing to set up the project for sending?
