Hey all!
I've been using Garageband pretty heavily basically since it came out, and this problem didn't pop up until last week (which was also the first time in a few months I'd started using the program heavily again). Basically, every once in a while, I'll open up one of my projects, and GarageBand will inform me that "Recording4.aif (or whatever) cannot be found!" And I'm like "********!" But lo and behold, the recording is not there. This is not cool.

What do I do? This has happened to three separate songs now. Only seems to affect live recordings (guitars), not software instruments.

Thanks...!!
Be happy.

Right-click (Control-click) on the GarageBand song file (which is actually a folder that contains all the audio and song info) in the Finder and choose "Show Package Contents..."

If the audio file is still in there, you can just drag it back into GB, to where you want it.

No idea why it's doing this, though.

Analogika - Yeah, that was my first thought, that it was just renaming the recordings somehow. However, I checked...they're actually being deleted.

I've got about 30 GB left (of 160).
Be happy.
