Hi,

I'm wondering if people have a preference and why. I've always just saved my Audio w/Midi projects as .bun files cuz it all stays togethter and is unclutterd. I never bother saving as .cwp. Why save the audio in a different place than the rest of the data? But now, somehow I'm getting the feeling that this may be an unorganized way of doing things.. Any suggestions out there one way or the other?


Thanks
Brad

Ditto.

I'm gonna try that in the future.. And is there an advantage over .cwb?

It loads and saves faster.

Buns can get corrupted, easily. Using the cwp/PPAF combo is very reliable. Much more so than buns, IMHO.

If a CWB somehow gets corrupted, your entire project is hosed. CWP and project audio folders has built-in disaster recovery: if the CWP is hosed, you still have the audio to import into a new project. If you lose some of the audio, you still have the track structure in the CWP to re-record.

If you use buns exclusively, doesn't it still keep the .wav files in the main audio data folder in addition to writing it to the bun file too?

Most people use buns as the sole means of backup after removing their project from their system.

Yeah, but that's only good if you never clean your Audio Folder. Once I back up a project, I run the Clean Audio Folder to rid my HD of all orphaned wav files. Once you do that, there's no going back. bun files were developed back in the ProAudio days before PPAF were available. PPAF are a good thing. Use them.
