Are bundle files given a raw deal in X3? (Do they now work?)

Cwb files are riff files with multiple wave chunks. New versions of SONAR automatically use Wave-64 format if the cwb exceeds 2GB. To load them directly change the extension to wav or w64 depending on the size.

how does it save the project data?

I believe the project is at the head of the file. Throughout the history of posts about bundles Noel has discussed the file layout. What I posted is paraphrased from the documentation. IIRC, there are posts about modifying the file extension to recover wave data.

ok i just tried renaming the cwb from http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/2007013062/Sonitus-fxphase to a .WAV, and it does indeed open (i was using ocenaudio) as a single PCM WAV- i don't know if there should be more than one WAV, or how would i tell the number of WAVs? bonus info: it looks like CWBs aren't compressed at all

Yes, bundles are not compressed. How to unpack the bundle into individual files is the problem. I supposed if there were an easy way to do it other than the code in SONAR, we would have a recovery utility.

a bundle recovery utility for corrupted bundles would be a great thing to have!!!! could someone at Cakewalk (or anywhere, for that matter) please make one?

For the pure joy of it I just opened a cwb from April '03 in Platinum. It opened fine with the expected missing DR-008, LSPro and Timeworks messages.

+1 for the making of a bundle recovery utility for corrupted .cwb bundle files

if you install cakewalk 6 or under x1 the wave plugins will pull up in x1 x2 x3
