Hi everyone, i've just read about this topic, and i'm actually expecting this error, with my Sonar 6 LE projet file. The audio engine as frozen, so i save my file, and restart Sonar, and now my project is unreadable.

Of course, i did'nt backup my project elsewhere....

Is it any other solution expect reinstall Sonar again ?

Thank you

Up please, it's very important

The problem is in mono and stereo waves in the same project. Computers that uses windows 7 any version of Sonar will have this problem. You can not open a file bundle (bun) old or new it has mono and stereo waves within it. According to an article I read, it seems that windows 7 has a incompatilidade with RIFF files already reported to microsoft. Solution: You need a computer to hand with good old windows xp to open these files. Bye Mamadoc - Brazil

I know this is an old thread, but just recently had this problem, and hopefully this will help someone else.
 
I traced it back to a program that I was using to Overclock my system.   It was EasyTune 6 that was not handling the memory timing in the overclock, and was screwing up the bundling.    After removing Easytune 6, the problem disappeared.   Tuns out it was corrupting anything memory dependant.
 
To the above post, you can use both mono and stereo files, but they cannot be bundled.  Use per project saving, and it works fine.
 
 

Mamadoc it goes beyond that. It's not mono and stereo files, it's mono and stereo files that have differing bit depths. If the project bit depth was set for 24 and you have files in it that are 16 (or you have this in reverse) when saved as a bundle in any version of SONAR prior to 8.5, it will not open properly in Windows 7.
 
 

Another good reason steer away from using bundles if at all possible.
