Move an S9 sound to another computer without losing its audio
A saved .s9sampler sound points to its audio files, so moving it on its own leaves the audio behind. Export a Portable Pack instead: it bundles the editable sound and its audio in one file. Back up your DAW project and original recordings as well.
Do this before you change drives, send an instrument or reorganise your samples. A folder that looks like a cache can hold audio your projects still need, so don’t delete it based on its name.
For S9 Sampler 0.1.6 (paid beta). More help inside the app: Help & Shortcuts → Library & files.
Step by step
Start where it works
Open the sound while its audio is still in place. Save your DAW session and the sound.
Export a Portable Pack
Use Export > Portable Pack and keep the .s9samplerpack file with your backup or transfer.
Open it on the other computer
Drop the pack into S9 there. Check the main sound, the Chops and both A/B versions.
Relink a moved file
If a file has already moved, use Relink and point it to the right original. Keep the old copy until everything opens.
Good to know
Back up more than your Library
Keep your original audio, Project Audio, Library files and DAW projects. A pack covers one sound.
Check before you clean up
Generated audio can still belong to an older project, Undo step or A/B version. Reopen important work before deleting anything.
