Trying to recover old files

[Joe S]

I have a number of cwp files from years ago.  They are recognized and open in Sonar with a message that external audio files are missing.  I no longer have access to any other files.  Is there a work around for this?

What happens is the audio was probably stored in the Global Audio folder. Not as a per project folder. That often creates the situation where there’s no audio in the projects audio folder. Did you look in there? 

Not sure what you mean by a workaround? 
 

You either have the files somewhere or you don’t.

If those audio files are on a different computer and that computer is gone, well, so are the files. If it's the same computer, they should be there, somewhere.

If you still have access to the old computer, simply resave the projects and make sure to save the audio in the project folders instead of the Global folder.
