[SOLVED] Mix recall not working in 2017.01

i don't use mix recall, not a fan, but i just gave it a whirl and everything seems to be working as expected, all you mention above seem to be present and correct. sorry not much help, but . . .
 
latest version of platinum 2017.01 and all that jazz

Here's an afterthought
Is it possible that it is because the project was started in a previous version of sonar?
Specifically X3.

thanks for checking
I think now ity would be great to hear from
someone that says it is working for them.

If Mix Recall doesn't work, maybe the project can't find its MixScenes folder. 

Look in your project folder. You should see the .cwp file of the project itself, the Audio folder containing the audio in the project, and a MixScenes folder containing your Mix Scenes. 
 
I highly recommend creating a separate folder for each project, and saving your .cwp file into that. Then all your project-related elements, as listed above, will appear in that folder and the MixScenes folder will be created automatically.
 
However if you do not create a Mix Scene before closing a project, then the MixScenes folder will go away (although one will be created again when you re-open the project). I recommend saving a Mix Scene before you close a project anyway so you have the state of the mix preserved if you want to return to it at some point.
 
For me, MixScenes has been stable and predictable.

I think that explains it. There is no such thing as a global MixScenes folder. They are associated with projects.
 
The global audio folder harkens back to the days when hard drives were measured in megabytes, not gigabytes or terabytes. We no longer live in that world and I strongly advise getting into the habit of saving projects in their own folders. This makes backing up and sharing projects much easier and more efficient.
 
Of all the ways to save projects - and SONAR offers numerous options - I believe saving individual .cwp files and using a Global audio folder is by far the least desirable option. Think of it has a library with only one book that has hundreds of thousands of pages, compared to a library with separate books, each with hundreds of pages.

The Mix Scenes Folder is always visible when the project is open.
It gets created in what ever folder I'm working in next to the project file.
It then disappears when sonar is closed, probbly because no scenes have been created.

This is how it is supposed to work.

Yeah, without saving the project, the scene names are lost. Projects do not scan MixScenes folders instead rely on data in the project file for active MixScene file names.

Actually there can be a MixScenes folder created in the "Project Files" folder set in Preferences > File > Folder Locations that acts like a global folder for projects not using default per-project audio file structure. The "Project Files"\MixScenes folder follows the same rules I detailed above.

Yes, but it's not created automatically nor can there be association with specific projects. I wouldn't encourage anyone to avoid using per-project folders, it really makes life so much easier.

I believe it follows the rules just like per-project folders. At least does on my machine.
 
If the folder does not exist when opening a project in "Project Folder" directory, MixScenes is created in the "Project Folder" directory. If Mix Scenes are not saved the folder is removed. If the MixScenes folder is populated, it remains.
 
MixScenes files names use the project name as part of the scene name. To the extent project files are unique in the "Project Folder" directory, there are no clashes in the MixScenes folder either.
 
That said, I agree per-project folders are a better way to go.

Oh My, 
 
If you don't use Mix Recall when recording, then you are missing out on a GREAT feature of the software.   I have been using Mix Recall Since it came out a feature and I have been in love with it ever since. 
 
I can't mix a project with out it.

Hmm...not sure it sounds "solved" to me, or you'd be able to use Mix Recall. What happens if you create a per-project folder, create a MixScenes folder inside it, open the project, and save a Mix Scene? Next, make a change in the automation, save another Mix Scene, then save the project. What happens?

Have you tried using SAVE As on the older project and then try mix scenes. Are the older project folders in the same folder as the projects that works?

Are you saying the one that does not work is not using a per-project audio folder?
When I was asking about the folder location of the project that does not work, I mean is it in the same path as the working project. I would expect them to be in separate folders.
