Moved music collection from one computer to another..(Stems did not full carry over)

AxMusic

Hello all

I recently transferred my music collection from my previous Mac (intel) to new silicone (M chip) one. I followed this support article 👇

https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/209590429-How-to-Transfer-Traktor-Collections-Playlists-and-Settings-to-Another-Computer

Everything seems to have worked except for the Stems, I had previously made. I had the stems stored on the same external drive i used for the Traktor music collection. Yet I received this error message when i try to load them.. (see attached image)

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Perhaps a right-click on file —> Relocate, can solve it? Give it a try…

Hello,

I suggest to report this as a bug, to NI Support. Stems creation through Traktor is a "new territory" and probably you are one of the first who noticed this issue. So, without any other reference on this, there are no resolving suggestions yet.

I will also report this to the team.

Hello, I relocated the stems with that right click options (pointed Traktor to that folder again and it worked)!!

Only thing is that now the cue points i had set previously for those stems are gone… any ideas on how to locate those? Ir not i can always redo them… but figured I’d ask just in case there was an automatic fix….

Thanks for the prior response!

Nope, unfortunately there is no automatic fix for this.

You can not relocate cue point because they are embedded, not some separate file.

one thing I just noticed, Traktor has along with the stems that are properly labeled, and working……. duplicate files that are unlabeled. Any ideas on this? Think just deleting all stems and starting again? I tried constancy check and no errors were found.

Those files are the stems actually!

I don't know how exactly this works (probably through some kind of reference to the original file).

But what i know, is that:

• The original file remains intact.
• If you delete them (those "weird" unlabeled files), stems are gone.
• If you add them to your collection, you will have unnecessary duplicates (even if in fact they are different files).

So, better leave them as they are, unless you want to delete them on purpose and start over.

i see, Thanks for that!

I guess i just assumed these blank (at least in there appearance tracks) would be hidden somewhere and not visible.
