Thanks Brundelfly and Mettelus for answering.
I am using a mobile pre usb as an interface.
The raw files are on my computer. I can open them in windows media player individually and they are fine.
I just checked and see the copy files to project folder box is checked. After they were brought in they played fine for a couple of weeks and I Tuned the two tracks and sent them back. This problem also happens to files recorded into SONAR directly.
The use per-Project Audio Folder box is checked.
The tracks are not muted, though I have tried muting them and opening them to no avail.
The salient bit of information may be when I bounce to clips the lines in the track view they come out completely flat, there is no data there. Somehow the data has been removed and done in such a way that the computer sees the same file in a different context, such as creating a blank project and importing the raw tracks they do not work. I just tried that again with a couple of tracks from the raw data and they are coming in mostly dead, like Billy Crystal says about the guy in Princess Bride. What I am getting there is a quick blip of sound the meter spikes and then silence. It seems wherever I start in the project that is where the blip of sound appears. I hear a bit of Trombone, or a note or two on the guitar and that is all.
Though I can't rule it out, I doubt it has anything to do with the interface. That seems to be working properly. It is just two inputs Analog to digital with phantom power and some volume knobs.
If it is drivers. How do I go about updating them? I will look into updating the mobile pre drivers right away.
It is not a mute/solo problem, rounting or gain, perhaps.
Thanks,
Arthur
