Ok get this...so i recorded an Orchestra for 1:30 piece of music.  32 mics on the orch.  We did 4 takes and the last 2 where pretty good.  So I sunk them together...64 audio tracks of live Orchestra...
 
Next i added CineStrings (5 tracks) , Omnisphere (4 tracks) ,  2 instances of Rapture, and an instance of Kontackt (with perc and 2 8dio's Hybrid II)
 
Then 7 tracks of me playing string (gtr like) instruments.
about 97 tracks...
 
I added a ton of processing. Reverbs, Wave plugins, Concrete Limiters,  Ozone 5 on the master.
 
Everything Runs very well,  and I only have 12 gig ram on a 6 year old machine.  Very impressive.
 
til I try to do this....I recorded myself playing bass.  I tapped (banged) a rhythm with a drum stick on the lowest string.  Since I can't play bass and have bad rhythm, I audiosnapped the part, then transposed the notes to match the Roots of all chords.  I tried Melodyne, but it did not work that low and noisey.
 
Everytime I do this thing with the bass,  the project plays well,  but when i exit and load the song back up the project becomes corrupt. Looking at Task Manager It appears my RAM gets full.  My computer becomes very sluggish and I can't even reboot without shutting the computer off.
 
So I found a way...can anyone confirm??  (JK!!)       
 

After using Audiosnap, did you bounce the track to itself?

Maybe the number of audio snap markers got so huge that its exceeding your RAM somehow.what you might be able to try and do to at least load your project, is to temporarily rename your project audio folder and then load the project (with missing audio). Then delete the audio snapped track and resave as a new name. You could also additionally save just the AS track as a new project.
Then exit SONAR, rename the audio folder back and try and load the two new projects. That may allow you to get started again. You can then bounce the AS track from the other project and import it back into your main project.

Hey Noel, isn't there some kind of deal where saving as a bundle strips off the AudioSnap transients?

Noel,   very cool trick.  I'm really not that worried cause i saved multiple versions, but your trick seems to be the easiest way back.   
 
Bristol_Jonesey   I should have done that.  Will try it again tonight.

Not unless I can borrow an orchestra somewhere.

Hey,  I did the "$99 Orchestra"  in Kickstarter

What's your system swap file setting? Perhaps increasing its size will prevent running out of memory. It may slow down but it shouldn't crash.

I just had to got back to this post and say the tips I got here where great.  I was not really worried 'cause my backups where all in place,  but Noel and Bristol jumping in just made things so much easier and clearer to me.
 
As a freelancer I often feel alone on an island in the tech world.  i don't have an IT guy I can call and I am not that proficient with computers.  I feel good having a resource like this forum.  
 
 Kevin's response is much appreciated also
