Has there been any improvements or changes with the Clean Audio feature in the latest SONAR?
Anything like folder or hardrive user selection when scanning?

I don't believe there has. I still think the best way to clean audio for a project is to save as a new project in a new folder and have "copy audio with project" selected. Then you can delete the old folder.

Thanks
I'll add that in Features.

The Cakewalk Audio Finder (CWAF) Tool has been around pretty much as long as Clean Audio (also in Utilities), and has all the power and flexibility that Clean Audio doesn't. Check it out. I posted a cheat sheet for it in another thread here:

@Gerry, looks like you're experiencing what I'm referring too.
 
@brundlefly
Thanks for the suggestion. So far I didn't have much luck using this. I'll try working with it some more later today.

I selected one audio folder the Global Audio search path & it still searched through my entire drive. Took as long as Clean Audio to report too. (about 5 minutes)
It reported all types of files marked in red 'possibly corrupt' but I have no way of knowing if they are or not.

Cakewalk has acknowledged the problem and they will be looking into it, so good news.

You need to do this step from the "cheat sheet" post I linked:
- Add your “Excluded” folders and any other paths on the drives that will never have SONAR projects in their paths to theFolders to Ignore list.
 

It reported all types of files marked in red 'possibly corrupt' but I have no way of knowing if they are or not.

I've never encountered that warning. Probably not completely spurious, but I'm not sure exactly what it might indicate, either.

I did make a CWAF Excluded Folder on my drive with the projects. After scanning this is what I'm referring to as corrupt warning.
 

 
When I close i have this below ( notice I selected the Global Audio folder for a single project but it scans all that projects that weren't added to exclude anyway?)
Now I can move the Projects or Waves. Why are they listed ~ for the same project?
There's only one version. These were older projects re-saved in X3, maybe the reason?
I can see where this could be useful but I'm not understanding what's it actually doing to my files, similar to Clean Audio.
