@ ggg seriously is that him lol

Wow!  Can't believe he has time for Sonar with all the 'ladies' lining up for a shot at that!

Then again, I confess to owning an actual Leisure Suit FROM SEARS back in the disco days.  YEAH I DID IT SO WHAT?

YIKES is all I can say.  The worst part is, I can still remember thinking to myself that I had it going on, as I checked out 'the look' in the mirror on my way to the club.

 I myself do not use auto-save, because I like to know precisely where I was when a save took place.

That's a lame excuse and poor advice. Who cares when the save took place? When Sonar crashes, you need to go back to the last save whenever it was. I'd rather have a save that's 5 minutes old then one that 20 minutes or older. 

Good By Joe.. We Gotta Go ...meoo myoo .. sun of a gun !!

 
Yeah, we havin' good fun.  This forum aint quite the Bayou, but I suppose it'll do... 
 

Joe - heeeeerrrre's your sign

Note to self: never use the same screen name for an online dating site that you used elsewhere to proudly announce your self-righteous ignorance. I'm sure gals would never think to google a screen name before contacting a potential date and find there a link to this thread!

Can't say whether this is a troll post or for real since the OP has disappeared.
For the record there is no code that exists in SONAR that would delete files in use by a project. The only time files are deleted are when you record new audio and close the project without saving. In fact if you crash at that time - the files are still intact on disk though not referenced by a project.
Even less likely - there is no way that SONAR on its own could delete tracks - if the tracks are not visible they have likely been hidden accidentally and the file saved after that. 

LOL...all he says is that the tracks disappeared "from track view." Maybe he's had Sonar running constantly since last Thursday, and he doesn't know you can save your work.
Wait till he finds out he can. It's going to totally revolutionize his whole computing experience 

It's a conspiracy. Have you ever noticed that the weirdest of the weird always happens to people with a post count of 5 or less?

Get you post count up and your problems will go away.

Haha John.... well then, I think I am safe now, you too man!

The OP is probably a troll but the lesson that should be learned from this thread is ALWAYS use AUTO SAVE. It has saved my butt many times over. Especially when I do something to a mix I can't reverse like accidentally holding the CTRL key without a quick group selected and moving a fader. All the faders end up moving and there is no way to undo that level of damage. I just close the project and load my last auto saved version and I'm good to go. I typically have my autosave set to 5 minute intervals and 2 versions being saved.
