Import new audio file version does not overwrite version in pool

@VH_WM

let’s say i import a .wav named “drums.wav” into cubase by dragging it from the explorer or the filetree. Then i delete drums.wav from the arrangement.
Then i import an updated version of drums.wav into cubase. What happens to me is that the old version from the pool is used and not overwritten by the new one.

Hold shift while dragging the file onto the event in Cubase.

Files are not handled the way you describe in Cubase – that’s to say, importing a file with a given name does not replace an existing file with the same name. Plus these observations should be made:

What files are listed in the pool after you do the second import?

What are your settings regarding the files being copied or not to the audio folder?
