Sonar LE file types. HELP! computer crashed
Hello, Forum newby here. A few (maybe 5 or 6) years ago , I bought an EMU audio interface for recording and installed the included SONAR LE at the time of installing the interface on my recording computer. The setup has worked fine until yesterday when the computer (not this one. I have a computer dedicated to recording & not connected to the 'net) started uncommanded shut downs and re-boots and won't stay running. I think I got all my Cakewalk files that were created with SONAR LE ( from the 'CAKEWALK PROJECTS' folder) saved to a USB stick, but when I opened that stick on another computer (this one) that does not have SONAR LE installed, the files seemed to be listed in a different way than when I see them in SONAR LE. The stick has the 'AUDIO FILES' folder, and all the songs are listed individually (not in a folder) as .cwk files. Also, there is a folder on the stick within the 'CAKEWALK PROJECTS' folder named 'PICTURE CACHE' that has all .WOV files that seem to be needed for SONAR as they have file names like the CWK and audio files. The biggest problem is that I cannot find the SONAR LE distribution CD to load SONAR LE on an other computer. So, the questions are these: 1) What is the relationship for these files and how does SONAR use them? I remember something about the .cwk files being pointers to the audio files, but never noticed the .wov files. 2: Where can I get a distibution disk of SONAR LE? or 3: What other Calkwalk program can be used to play my recordings? I also have Guitar Tracks V3, but it does not want to play the SONAR LE Recordings. I can play the audio .wav files in media player, but those are only short files of different 'takes' not the whole recording. Thanks in advance to anyone responding, Larry Robertson, Denver, CO
