missing audio

I imported some audio files into x1 & saved the project & now they are missing & can't be found. I may have deleted the original files I imported but they still should have been saved in sonar. Am i missing something? Thanks.

    Using Sonar 32 bit I assume?
    X1 A/B/C or D?

    Do you have per project audio folders set?

    If you only deleted the originals, from Windows presumably? then your imports should still be there.

    > X1 A/B/C or D?

    Also for fun upgrade to X1D if you haven't already.

    Thanks - I did have the upgrade. I deleted the originals but the imports are missing from my project. Is this my error or does it happen sometimes?

    Under Preferences->File->Audio Data is a check box for "Always copy Imported Audio". I believe if it is checked then the actual audio file is copied to your audio directory and if it's not then just a pointer is set up to the file in it's original location. I don't know if the default setting is on or off. I checked and I have it enabled in both X1 and X2.

    Hopefully it's in your audio folder....

    Thanks tk. I had it unchecked because I thought it wd double the number of wav files I'm storing. Is that true? Anyway I checked it now.

    ps - Most of my projects are from an old Cake daw (not Sonar) that i open or import into sonar. I keep the old project as well so if I understand correctly, the old project wd be my backup.? The lost files i posted about were not in the old project.
