I never trusted the bundles - zip if needed, per-project audio.

I don't think I saw a single pro-bundle post thus far - if you were keeping score.

I never had a single problem using CWP - other than bad technique on my part.

Used CWB files once and had big problems with opening and eventually had to redo the whole project...needless to say...NEVER AGAIN.

ive never used the bundle files, but i can appreciate the convenience of using container files types like cwb, rather than drag a folder about full of audio about to another studio with sonar, just take the one file, as far as back up, i would still want a folder full of audio files, or just use cwp as well

+1


.cwb for transporting a complex project
.cwp for studio work

I use bundles and I zip them up.


Speaking of zip. I wish all musicians would upgrade to latest Winzip (15 or 16 now). From Winzip 12 on they have yet another file extension called .zipx. That bad boy compresses about 30% more than conventional .zip.


Sadly a .zipx WILL NOT open in version 11 or lower. Don't waste your time trying. And no other freebie will open it (yet) either.


PS Bob, I've never had a problem with .cwb. Granted I may only transport 2 or 3  a year, but still, never a problem with them.
