Error code?

I have recorded some backing tracks and saved them as .bun files. When I open them again they play OK and I add another track to them, and save that as a .bun file with a different name. IE: the backing tracks are named 'song.cwb' and the added track file is called 'song+new.cwb'. When Sonar tries to open the project and the 'song+new.cwb' file is loaded into Sonar, the 'loading audio data' bar at the bottom of the SONAR page looks like it's loading the file, but at the end of the load I get an error message: "unexpected error code hr:2147500037, file HRESULT: 3221225747" Does anyone know what that means? The file does not load, but the file is on the hard drive named as I saved it as a .cwb file. Thanks, Larry Robertson

Thanks for the response 57Gregy. I tried it and it did not work. Right clicking on the file on the hard-drive did open Sonar, and Sonar tried to load the file, but at the end of the load I got the same message. I would like to hear from someone in Cakewalk tech support who can tell me what the error code means.

I did email customer support and did get a return email. They suggested I try another project, but error code comes up after loading on numerous files. They also stated they no longer support SONAR LE. I used to like working with SONAR until I had a computer crash & tried to load my backed up files to another computer. The other computer is loaded with Windows 7 not XP. Tyring to backup files from 2 locations on the hard drive is nuts (project & audio file are in different heirachys) and saving the projects as .cwb files gets me this error code and won't load the files, so what good is SONAR? I think I am going to switch to CUBASE. I want to make music, not work on computers. I no longer trust SONAR. Larry Robertson, Denver, CO

PWBoogie:  It could also absolutely have something to do with the fact that there are two [very] different Operating Systems in play here.  First of all, I am not even sure if the LE version will run on Win7- so that could be an issue right off the bat.  Do you know which LE version it is- there are a few of them (X1LE, 4LE, 6LE, 8.5LE).  So right off the bat I'd be worried about compatibility with Win7.  U
 
Also PWBoogie, in searching around I found something similar that you should read:

That might be something.

Best to avoid bundles

I cannot say for sure but given the dates in the thread linked above, the problem appears not be be SONAR version specific. A more reliable solution would be per-project audio folders. Projects can be zipped into a single file when necessary.

I have never seen a version of SONAR LE but there has been an option for years to store audio data with the project file. The feature is called "Per-project Audio." When a project is created, a new directory is created with the project name. The new project directory contains the project cwp file(s) and subdirectory to store the project audio called Audio. This way the entire project exists in a unique directory tree instead of the global audio folder.
 
If the option exists in your version of SONAR it should exist in global options or preferences audio data settings.

A bundle is a single file made by appending the project file with the audio files. To create a single file from a project created with per-project audio, one would zip up the directory.

DON"T USE BUNDLE FILES-- there are way to many people reporting issues when trying to use CWB. Use CWP and all this will go away. 
And as said keep your audio folder in the project folder by checking all the correct file paths and boxes, which might be a little different in each version or other DAWS. I have both Sonar and Cubase working fine this way. 

So I found the "per project" check box in the global and checked the box to enable the feature. Now how do I take the CWP file as you all are stating and transfer that INCLUDING the audio files with it where it will play as if it was a bundle "meaning auto adjusts my tracks as I had them and applies volume settings and such"?? I do see now since I checked the "per project box" when I save my songs it puts the .wav tracks in my audio folder and I do now have my audio folder in my projects folder.
 
I appreciate all the feedback btw! Not many forums I find are so quick to respond..

And then if I unzip this file onto another PC that has sonar it should auto align my tracks in sonar as a bundle would?

That is correct. The track, wave positions and midi info are all stored in the cwp. All the bundle process does is create a single file starting with the cwp and appending the wave files to it. There is nothing special about a bundle except that it is particularly fragile.

I will try this when I get home. All of my CWP files though go into a single folder therefore ALL the projects I've created are in the same "Project Folder". If I compress the folder that holds the CWP file i'm trying to get it'll also compress the rest of my CWP files from previous projects. Do I need to be saving this CWP including my audio folder in a separate folder from the rest of my projects before I zip it up?

Ok guys I got home and did what you all suggested and IT WORKS!!!!! Y'all are awesome, I really appreciate all the feedback. Hope this helps some other people out there because this just made my life so much easier. Thanks again!
