    Hi guys, I've recently reinstalled Serum on my pc (cuz I've formatted it) but every time that I try to open an old project I've got the error: "Serum was unable to load..." but he's giving me a "strange" path... like Noises// or Tables//
    I can't even load presets...
    How can I fix it? :/

    (I'm using Serum 1.205 and Ableton 10.0.5)

    Serum says you don't have the requested noise or wavetable file.
    The serum's noise file location is: C\users\documents\XFer\Serum Presets\Noises


    Check if your C\users\documents\XFer folder is not a shortcut,because if it's a shortcut Serum won't work properly.

    Or you can try to click on the "Menu" button and click on "Rescan folders on disk".

    I've checked if my xfer folder is a shortcut and it is not. I've clicked on the "Rescan folders on disk" button but nothing has changed.

    EDIT: I've clicked on the "Show Serum Presets Folder" button and it shows the right folder in which I have the tables and the noises presets so I don't think is a problem with the folder :/.

    I've already tried that but haven't solved yet.
    I can load noises while creating a new preset but if I try to save the preset and open it Serum can not find the noise.
    I don't know why serum gives me the path "Noises//Analog/ARP white.wav"
    instead of "C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Xfer\Serum Presets\Noises/Analog/ARP white.wav"

    I am assuming these are bought versions as I am stuck on version 1.13 ... or am I missing out because I don't do torrentz? :rofl:
    Glad to hear it is fixed, but I wonder what was wrong with 1.205 ... or maybe just a glitch during install?
    That is why I wondered if it was a package straight from the developer :wink:

    Thanks Baxter :D
    Hahah - I often am a bit confused by what you type but always wanting to know for sure your accurate meaning.
    I have Google auto-translating most web pages and get confused if I am seeing a translation by Google or what people actually write :rofl:

    I never got one here, but on usenet (alt.binaries.sounds.utilities- thanks to Captain Salvo!).
    I do not use it enough yet to judge if my setup will bomb or something.. but I would like a newer version of course!
    I may have to learn to torrent if I want .... :unsure:

    Probably the last one.
    1.2.1.4 works well on Win.
