Hmmm I'll have to take a look. Thanks!

I might try that. I haven't used bun files in a while so I don't remember if that happened. My guess is they would have been preserved. Wouldn't have ever wanted to use a bun file if it didn't preserve clip effects, but I can't remember if I used too many insert effects back then. Region effects, yes. Transferring to a new system and having to reconcile every old plug or nuance in every older project has been quite the wayback machine experience for me. I'm trying to avoid throwing the Legacy versions on this new system just to get a few old plugs. Just to keep things tidy. Thanks for the suggestion!

O yes, the good old sliver thing! Very familiar. I did find an archived track with the vvocal clips after seeing your reply. Was able to kill off pretty much everything in the missing plugin dialog. It'd be nice we could access it on demand. i have been screenshotting or taking pics with my cell. Kinda clunky

Thanks for the reply! I used to use vvocal quite a bit back in the day. Very much a legacy project (From the 90's!) but with mostly all new stuff layered over the old. Unfortunately, I cant find any clips that show any hint of editing now. I was pretty careful to render after I was happy with edits to avoid crashes on a new start. Went over to Melodyne Studio ages ago. Maybe I'll bounce all Vocal clips as an experiment to see if that gets rid of those items in the dialog. Worth a shot. Thanks!

I have 2 questions on this. Is the only way to get to this dialog box on opening a project? I'd like to refer to this after I've opened a project because I'm in the midst of switching computers and want want legacy projects to open with everything in place just like they do in the old system. The second question is that a lot of the plug-ins or items listed in this particular instance are not in the project anymore and I cannot find them to eliminate the issue. There are no "V vocal clips" + I have no idea what "Cronus" stands for. I cannot find any of the listed items. Not in audio folders or anywhere on my system. Any suggestions appreciated!

That is really good to hear. If dealing with this situation is a part of helping the product improve, that'd be great!

Excellent! I actually had that happen previously. I did wait 2+ hrs on the last try for that reason, but no soap. Maybe I'll try an overnight!

Wow, thanks for doing this! The only 32 bit plug I use is Perfect Space. Still my Fav despite buying almost every other Reverb made. Fortunately it loads up fine on other projects.

Hello. I'm not getting a response after posting the link to my .dmp file to support and on here. Would be interested in hearing what may have been found. Thanks!

I originally started recording this in 2011 so it's OLD. I had been rolling along fine in whichever version of Sonar, CbB, etc. There are a ton of older plugins and ways of doing things abandoned or deleted over the years so who knows what is specifically setting this off. Project versions worked on before late December open ok. After that, none of the last 5 or 6 versions open, even tho I worked on it the last time without issues on Dec 30th. So whatever changed between then and now is what I would have to suspect. I'm on build 2024.12 so nothing should have changed between then and now. Perhaps something in my system, but with others also having similar issues, I'm at a loss. Fortunately, it works fine in CbB and I've made the changes I wanted. So far, so good. Working in CbB again makes me miss track colors badly, I mean real track colors...Not some dinky bar next to it

I forgot how much I liked my old Cbb! Opens up fine here... whew! I'll try to finish my changes and resave 40 diff ways from sunday. Was able to get mix notes from 273 on copied over to the text doc as well. Gettin sloppy! I also noticed that I must have been fooling with the transient match at one time because it gave me the notification it was generating them (Something the New Sonar will not do). Every mix I do crank out will be glorious 24 bit in case the whole ship goes down, that's for sure!

I've been suspecting my system HDD for some time (an M.2 2 TB) I'm running out of time... I suspect the whole thing will go soon. Oh well, more money, aggravation and time. What else is new?!? lol Thanks for checking it out

The project is years old and started out in the old sonar, then Cbb, then a number of reworkings in the New Sonar. I have Cbb, (Jeez, I forgot about trying that!) I'll try it out and see if I can't streamline it some way. I did manage to get mix 244b to open which is (40+ iterations ago) in Sonar last night so I'll concentrate on the changes since then. Probably some corrupted data or Kontakt issue. A shame because I was just a cpl of adjustments away from being finished and sounding good despite the bloated nature of the thing! Thanks for the input and work! I copied the mix notes up to mix 272 to a word document so I'll at least have a few clues on some possible things I did in between to concentrate on. I sent a link to the .dmp file to the bakers, but have yet to hear back. I'll paste the link here as well for giggles.

Very generous! Here's the onedrive link. It won't load on my system even without audio files or plugins. Here's the link. Thanks! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zXcHOhRzkBLixxbUTux9PAMPBqOhc8lW/view?usp=drive_link

Sonar Crashes trying to open a particular project no matter what mix number. Seems to open fine with other projects. I have multiple crashes generating multiple .dmp files. Always crashes the exact same way Seemingly installing all plugins then hanging as project files start to load. Win 10 Latest Sonar build. Already tried installing the new redistributable provided and no change. Also tried safe mode installing no plugins. Still no dice. In the process of send a dmp file to support
