i am using reason 3 and whenever i go to open up what i have saved a box comes up saying some sounds are missing and it asks me to replace them or search for them, it only does this when i use refills, does anybody know why.thanks

have you moved any of the refills? or are you opening the reason files on a different computer than the one you created them on?

Have you created a new user on your computer since you made those tracks??

I've run into this problem a ton of times... It's really annoying.. i wish there was fool proof way to get around it. But, unfortunately, Unless you've kept everything organized down to a T since the first day you started using reason, your gonna run into this problem.. There are a couple of songs i created on a different computer that i cant even open anymore, luckily they were all my beginner stuff, from like 5 years ago, so they arent much use to me anyways.. But i learned quickly, to keep all of your stuff organized, and if you get a new computer, make sure all of your refills and sounds end up in the same EXACT file location on the new one..

the refills i am using are from the internet, they are all in my documents so when i start a new track i move them next to the stock refills for easy access but they never save

Ok, here is what you should do if its easy access your aiming for.. Just create a shortcut to the folder with the refills in it on the left hand side of the Instrument Load screen ... Leave the refills where they are on your computer... That sounds like what is messin u up... Reason is looking for the refill or instrument in a location where it does not exist... Thats option 1

Option 2..

Physically move your refills (in Windows Explorer) from your My documents folder to the folder you move them to in reason. If you move them to the right place, the previous tracks you've created should then open without a problem and there you go...

try those and lemme know what happens
