SONAR 7 path settings

 
I am using my old SONAR 7 machine as my backup in case my new SONAR 8 machine decide to start "motorboating" or something.  I haven't used it in a while but now when I set my Audio path to another drive the next time I boot the machine all my settings go back to the default settings.  Any ideas?
 
I'm sure it's something simple...
 
Thanks,

    Perhaps Per-Project Audio folders isn't checked?

    Goto Options->Global->Audaio Data tab, and down the bottom under
    Per Project Audio, the options there.

    I actually have never used the "per-project" audio folders. 

    Maybe I should!


    Thanks !!!!

    You definitely should be using per-project folders if you work with a lot of audio. Keeps things much better organized and easy to backup...

    I find that only happens if I don't turn on my external HD before opening Sonar.

    Definitely make sure any external HD's related to SONAR are powered up before opening SONAR...

    Haha, Sometimes I forget.
    I really hate when that happens because then I have to go through and reset all the paths.

    I don't have external hard drives on this machine using SONAR 7.  I think this is more related to what was mentioned earlier regarding that setting in
     
    Options > Global > Audio Data Path
     
    Since I didn't uncheck that box in there it thinks I want to use Per-Project files and then prompts me everytime to use that feature.  Then when I don't use them it resets the paths.  However, I agree with Papa I am going to use them now when I get back to my studio.  Since I'm using S 8.5 now it's been a while since I've used this machine.  I powered it up to kick the spiders off the hard drive platters.
    I will set the PPF when I get home.  Darn, I wish I didn't have to travel every week and just play with SONAR all day!
     
    Thanks Papa!
