  • Corrupt project? Soft synths suddenly stopped working and window layout resets

I'm wondering if my project has possibly become corrupt, or if I pressed a button I shouldn't have. After working on this project for a few weeks, suddenly last night it started acting strange. All of the soft synths stopped working and the window layout resets every time I re-open it. If I start a new project soft synths work there.
 
Is there anything I can do to fix this besides bringing all events into a new project? I have saved the project as a bundle and put it in my OneDrive if anyone would be able to look at it for me.
 
Another weird thing is that on the console view window, the "In/Out" view also gets disabled along with the window layouts. Not that it matters much right now because I can't do anything in the project.
 
EDIT: I just tested, and window layouts appear to not be sticking in every project.

Apparently pressing the letter E on the keyboard disables ALL soft synths. I must have bumped it. Lame.
 
Now I just need to figure out what shortcut key is making all the window layouts reset.

Hi. Just a guess, but perhaps you have switched screen set (shortcut 1-10)? Or changed a lens?
All the best.

So... I just upgraded to Sonar Platinum from Sonar 6 (I believe) and I have only been working in the new version for a few weeks. Having said that, I have no idea what you just said :) but I will look it up.

Ok  
Screen sets are snapshots of your layout, and are activated with numbers 1 to 10.

Lenses are a new feature worth checking out as well.

Hope it helps.

PS. Lenses are global, and screensets are per project.
Lenses "trumps" screensets.
