The Missing Sounds dialog
This dialog appears if you clicked the Open Dialog button in the previous dialog, or if
you clicked the Search & Proceed button but the program couldn’t find all missing
sounds.
The main display in the dialog lists all missing files. The four columns show the follow-
ing properties:
Selecting
The Replace and Search Locations functions (see below) are performed on the files
that are selected in the list. This allows you to replace some files manually (necessary
if the files have been renamed or are outside the Locations), have the program find
other files automatically and skip the rest of the files.
D To select a file, click on it in the list.
You can use the standard [Shift] or [Ctrl] (Win)/[Command] (Mac) selection tech-
niques to select several files
D To select all files in the list, click the Select All button.
When the dialog first appears, all files in the list are selected.
Search Locations
If you click the Search Locations button, Reason will search for the selected files in all
Locations set up in the Browser (except the Desktop). If the program finds a file with
the matching name and file type, the new path is stored in the song/patch and the file
is shown as “Replaced” in the Status column.
D Since the file search looks at the file names, files that have been re-
named will not be found!
This also means that if your Locations contain several files with the same name,
the wrong sounds may be found.
Replace
Clicking the Replace button opens the browser dialog, allowing you to manually lo-
cate each missing file. This allows you to use files that have been renamed. The
browser dialog will appear once for each selected file in the list. The name of the file
to look for is shown in the Browser window’s title bar.
Search In...
This function is useful when you need to replace a whole lot of samples and you know
where these samples are located. A typical example would be if you have reorganized
the folder structure on your computer, and the sample folder has been moved in rela-
tion to the folder with a sampler patch or song.
D If you click “Locate”, the Browser opens, asking you to select the sample
directory, i.e. the folder in which you know that the samples are located.
Select either the folder, or a sample in the folder. When you click OK, Reason will
search in the selected folder (and its subfolders) only.
Download ReFill
If a missing sound is part of a ReFill (as indicated in the Part of ReFill Package col-
umn), and there is a valid URL (Internet address) for this ReFill, you can download the
ReFill directly from this dialog (provided you have a working Internet connection):
1. Select the sound(s) that use the ReFill.
You should only select several sounds if they use the same ReFill.
2. Click the Download ReFill button.
This launches your Internet browser and takes you to the URL associated with the
ReFill.
3. A dialog appears, asking you to download the ReFill. Do so.
4. Click OK.
Reason automatically scans the downloaded ReFill and locates the files.
Proceeding
At any point, you can click the OK button to close the dialog and open the song or
patch. Note:
