Why does Next delete the audio file ?

[Papa Mouse]

Top of the image is how I create the file. As you see the audio file is in the audio director.

Saving the project and reopening again the audio file is gone.

The moment I push Ctrl+S the audiofile in the audio folder dissapears

[Papa Mouse]

Unbelievable … the file “Midnight don’t lie.wav” is deleted in the project’s audio folder time after time the moment I press Ctrl+S

But if I rename the file to “Midnight.wav” is stays.

Seriously ? Are you guys for real ?

You might want to post this either in the Cakewalk Next sub-forum here, or on a different channel (e.g., Discord), or contact support for help.

@Papa Mouse Sorry for the troubles here! I think I see what's happening here but your best bet will be to reach out to our support team for more personalized assistance.

Are you changing the name of the audio file in the project folder after it is created? This will not work as you'd expect unfortunately as Next will look for the audio file under the name it was imported or created with. If you'd like to change the name of the clip, double click on the clip and change the name in the Inspector window on the right. This will ensure that everything stays connected in Next.

 

This is a really  good call out though! There may be some improvements to the UX we can make here in the future!

Hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions
