Thats the way she works. You have to make sure you save the work so S1 knows what to load up next time. Otherwise, anything you were working on would get automatically saved even if you didnt mean to. Thats how I look at it now.

If you drag it in, save it then is how I think now. Copy external files

No worries.

Studio One doesn't literally delete any audio files afaik, it just throws them into the system trash. Unless that happened a long time ago or you emptied the system trash since then, they'll still be there.

Go to your system trash and restore them, then collect them all into a sample folder this time since now you know impact has to reference those files for your kit. When you load your Impact preset, point the "Missing Files" dialog / function to that sample folder to find the files and save the preset again.

Hope that helps.

P.S. You should probably build that into a Soundset so that it's self contained.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll do that from now on. Unfortunately when this happened I deleted the new kits as I know I'd have to start over. I was distraught and just shut everything down and went to bed. But the first thing I will do is created a folder dedicate for those files.

So if I save the song and name it "Impact Chops" for example after I create the first Impact drum kit, when I'm done after creating several more, when it ask me that question about saving the files since the last save, will it save them in the same folder as "Impact Chops" or will it still save them to the trash bin?

After creating some kits last night i created a folder on the desktop to copy those files out of the trash bin, but their were some duplicate wav file names which it would basically overwrite or add digits to it to make it unique. I'm assuming that would cause problems when Impact looks for the files. If I totally move the files from the trash bin to the new desktop folder, will Impact know to locate the wavs there or would I have to tell to look in there when the locate file option comes up?
