Are they still in the same location on your drive?  i.e. you're sure that you haven't reorganized your samples (renamed folders, moved them to a  different drive, etc.) since you created your Cakewalk project?  Is this Sitala 1 or 2?

The location hasn't changed, the only thing I did was restarting the PC. Every other project using Sitala with samples inside the same folders remained untouched by this issue.

I'm using Sitala 1.

Sorry to hear about this, very frustrating indeed.  

Just a couple of suggestions to try.,

- Can you see Sitala in the synth rack?

- If it is in the synth rack can you open it's UI from there?

- Any warnings or error messages about missing plug-ins when you open your project?

You may just have to bring a new instance of Sitala back in to your project and route your midi track to it.  As far as the audio information, don't know exactly what you mean here, but if you are using per project audio folders then the audio should be underneath the project directory.

I can see Sitala in the synth rack but I can't open it. If I replace the vst with another instance of Sitala it opens but it's empty.

There are no error messages.

There are no audio files related to Sitala in the audio folders, this is the problem. They just vanished. The only thing left is the MIDI information.

However, now that I think about it, before making the beat I reactivated Cakewalk on the official site. Now it doesn't ask to be updated anymore, is it possible that Cakewalk updated automatically when I restarted the PC, messing up my project?

I reopened a project where I spent the entire afternoon building a beat with a sampler (Sitala) but now all audio information is gone. The edited samples are literally vanished (the original are still in my drive tho). The MIDI information is still stored and if I click on the palette icon Sitala doesn't boot up anymore.

When I saved the project everything worked fine, then this evening I boot up the PC and this **** happened. I'm extremely frustrated, especially because it can happen again if I don't know the cause, any help?

A free harpsichord VST?
The first thing I would do is try a different VSTi and see if it works.
I think Cakewalk by Bandlab has a couple of harpsichord sounds in its included soft synths.

That's my last option. I'm not sure I can remake the sound on another vst so I want to know if there are some other solutions.

Have you tried a real time freeze or real time bounce?

Are you referring to the one described here? If yes, the audio still doesn't appear.

Hi, whenever I bounce a pair of MIDI tracks there's no audio, just a single straight line without a waveform. The project has over 30 tracks and they give me no problem except these 2 which are using a Quilcom SIM-HC vst. I tried freezing/unfreezing them, bouncing through the "Tracks->Bounce to Track(s)" but it still doesn't work.

I understand that the problem is the plugin but, considering that I must mix my project and the error could happen again in the future with other vsts, is it possible to do some troubleshooting to solve the situation? 

Thanks in advance for the help.

HI, I had around 10 seconds of nothing at the start of my track and I wanted to remove it by dragging all of my clips to the left.

Both clips and their own automation got dragged correctly, the issue is that I can't figure out how to drag the automation in the "Bus automation pane" (at least that's how it's called in the help module), the one that you open by pressing shift+b. I spent quite a lot of time working on these automation and I would prefer not redoing them again.

I already tried to find out a solution so I attempted to "cut and paste special" in the Edit menu but it only works on a few of the automation selected with ctrl+A, moreover the automation doesn't reappear after pressing "paste special".

In case it wasn't already clear I'm a beginner so sorry if the solution may be obvious.

Thanks.
