Thanks - do you mean Cake Audio Finder or Privazer? If it's Cake AF, how else do you delete clips that are no longer needed? This is good, I'm getting an education here.

I have an SSD although it's starting to slow down.

I just used the cakewalk audio finder which is supposed to be safe and then once a month I use privazer, however it's spelled. I researched it well before using it and it's been very good for several years causing no problems. That's all.

Wow thanks for all of the input! I need to sit with this and think about any third party utilities, nothing comes to mind at the moment

I did run it but only a few files found. I thought it was safe. I did get a message that some files were corrupted. What causes that?

Thanks for the responses. Yes audio files, no external drive, I haven't moved or removed any unless I did something by accident

I just opened up several old projects and the files are missing. There hasn't been any change in my setup or settings or interface. I did a search in one project but nothing showed up. What causes this? Is there any other recourse? Thanks!

Yes thanks, I have ozone 10 and I'm using my ears now and not the master assistant

Great advice thank you!

Slightly OT... I'm pretty new to mastering and I use the master assistant on ozone to get a starting place. Invariably it's way too loud for my ears. the fix seems to be just to turn down the master bus level. I'm pretty good about gain staging my tracks but I haven't paid much attention to gain staging plugins, and my sense is that might be the problem. The plugins just keep boosting the level so that when it gets to ozone it's way too much. I know this isn't strictly a cakewalk question but that's the daw I'm using to master. Any insights are appreciated, thank you!

Treesha I do loop recording and so there's a new take Lane for each time it loops.

Great thanks!

How do I do this, it seems like only one plays at a time and the others are muted? In my recording settings I'm using comping, store tracks in a single track, and reuse existing Lane. Thanks!

Thanks I'll try both ideas!

I have an ambient recording with two guitar tracks. I'd like to have them inversely related so that as one gets louder the other gets equally softer and be able to fade them in and out like that. Is there a way to do this without doing each one separately? Thanks!
