Importing Project Into Existing Projects - Not Responding

I tried dragging project 'B' into a new project and it looked fine but Session Drummer 3 did not come along with it. I can probably get that to work and at least it plays but still not ready or willing to try dragging into my other project. Of course getting Session Drummer 3 into the project is almost the WHOLE idea so I can have more control over my drum sounds. I'll try a couple more approaches. Otherwise I'm left with modifying sound in one project and exporting/importing sounds into the other. Maybe I'll try the other way around?

I decided to drag, from the browser project 'B' into project 'A' so I could get at the raw data in project 'B.' Not good.

 
Are you saying that with Project B closed, you navigated to Project B's audio folder via the Media Browser, and dragged raw audio files in Project A? That should work.
 
EDIT: On re-reading, I see you are tlaking about dragging whole CWP project files. I tried it, and it seemed to work okay, but the results might depend greatly on the project content, especially when dragging pre-X1 projects into X1.
 

Am I the only one who has their own internal dialog on these forums? Pretty funny. Anyway here's what I found because I have a curious mind and maybe it will help someone else.

My original intent was to use one project file as a sort of sound design canvas where I could build drum grooves and shape sounds and try different things out, then import those sounds into the main project. It all went really well actually but I always had in the back of my mind that I would eventually want Session Drummer in the main project, not just the raw audio, so I could have more control over the MIDI sections, fades, instrument mutes etc.

That moment came where I wanted Session Drummer and 4 audio files that I had custom created to be a part of the main project.

Dragging the entire project in created a mess as described in the OP. Dragging the other way left out too many effects and automation. So I then created a track template of the test project and dragged that in but of course it was only a template so the MIDI data and audio was missing.

So I THEN imported the project into project that now had the template - and it worked. Weird. I just tried dragging the project only and it crashed again and I'll probably lose that project file to corruption. (When it happened before that file could not be opened again). But having the track template there worked for some reason. Weird.

Is there a moral to this story? Probably. Maybe don't assume a 'feature' is actually going to work. Auto Save. Save as. Do all your work in one project file. (I'm probably the only one who doesn't - or didn't)

Good one Brundle.

I was in the Sierras way, way back there and woke the next morning to huge bear paw marks on my truck. IF we had left any food in there it would have all over for the truck. Poor bicycle.

Hi HumbleNoise, 

If ever you still had VST/VSTi in your project "B", you might want to try to open your project in safe mode (SHIFT+OPEN), and if possible, load the project with no plugins. that I guess could help. 

Just a tought.. 

Cheers !
