+🔍 Problem Summary
+
+You implemented **Local Storage Autosave** (item #2), but **on page reload, the session does not restore the saved state**. The page loads with the default state instead.
+
+---
+
+## 🔎 Likely Root Cause
+
+### ❌ You're saving the state to Local Storage, but **not loading it on startup**.
+
+In `useDrumMachine.ts`, the state is probably initialized like this (or similar):
+
+```ts
+const [state, setState] = useState(defaultState);
+```
+
+This means the state **always starts from `defaultState`**, and no logic attempts to retrieve from `localStorage`.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Solution
+
+### 🛠 Modify the Initial State to Load from Local Storage
+
+Update your `useDrumMachine` hook to **attempt to load the autosaved session from localStorage first**, before falling back to the default state.
+
+#### ✅ Example Patch:
+
+```ts
+const loadInitialState = (): StateType => {
+  try {
+    const saved = localStorage.getItem('Autosaved Session');
+    if (saved) {
+      const parsed = JSON.parse(saved);
+      return parsed.data;
+    }
+  } catch (e) {
+    console.error('Failed to load autosaved session:', e);
+  }
+  return defaultState;
+};
+
+const [state, setState] = useState(loadInitialState);
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📌 Notes
+
+- Make sure this runs **only for new sessions**, not when joining an existing session.
+    
+- If your app distinguishes between "new session" and "joined session" using `useSession`, you can use that to conditionally load from local storage.
+    
+
+#### Example:
+
+```ts
+const sessionId = useSession();
+const isNewSession = sessionId.startsWith('new-'); // or whatever logic you use
+
+const [state, setState] = useState(() => {
+  if (isNewSession) return loadInitialState();
+  return defaultState;
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Recap
+
+|Problem|Fix|
+|---|---|
+|State always loads from `defaultState`|Load from `localStorage` on first mount|
+|Only autosave was implemented|Add **autosave + restore** for full loop|
+|Make it conditional on session type|Don't overwrite a joined session with autosaved local one|
