Hi guys, anyone know how to re-save a project to forget about missing audio? Every time I launch a project that once had missing audio for whatever reason it wants to look for it.. I can't figure that one out..

Hi. Shouldn't a "save as" new file do that?
All the best.

Zargg has it I believe but sometimes I want to keep the same name. I don't have that answer without being in front of my laptop.

SAVE AS does not work guys. Neither does consolidating the audio or even freezing it. It seems to carry that checksum or whatever to the next version. I have been looking for a work-around for a while.

When the error message comes up, do you get the option to search for the "missing" files? I seem to recall that somewhere along that trail you are given the choice to "skip" a file. Maybe that would do the trick for you. Just a thought.

Have you tried removing the track itself that is missing the audio ?
I am also very surprised; "save as" to a new name will not remedy the problem.
Note: This includes a new audio folder.
 
Its also important to retrace the steps why you are missing the audio.
Even if you don't particularly care about the files, knowing where they are missing from helps in the process of deleting redundant tracks.

Chucks answer is what I do. If you save as and the missing tracks are still there, sans the audio, Sonar will continue to look for that audio. 
Just delete the tracks and save the project.

I guessing that the track(s) in question is a needed part of the project, so can't just delete it. How about exporting it, deleting the original, then re-importing. (That's assuming you can even discover which track(s) has "missing" files.

OK guys, I was doing something so stupid that I am not going to discuss it. My 20 years as a full-time Cakewalk user clearly has had no lasting effect.. Hehehehe.

END OF THREAD. :O)

Glad that all is well, and that there are more of us making stupid mistakes
