playback static

 OK I am new to this recording stuff but at a basic level it is not too bad. I have actually had luck with free Audacity so I decided a while back to get Sonar X1 Studio. This is a hobby to me and i never expect to anything else but I do expect a decent result at the least.
 I have had problems with losing the complete track when i finish and close the program and not being able to open it when i start up again. Loss of tracks kinda thing. Loss of all that effort is madning to say the least.
 The problem i am having now is with static noise tied to the audio tracks, both the bass and guitar and not the SI drum kit.
The static is not directly in the track at any specific place but just keeps turning up for a couple seconds every little bit as if almost timed. The strange thing is that even after the playback is over it still does it on the 2 audio tracks and you can see the sound level on the indicators for each track.
 I really hope this is a dumb question but i am just winging it here.

The static could be from a demo or unregistered version of a plug-in. That's how they copy protect them. 

How are you saving your files? They should be saved using the .CWP extension. If you save your work using a .MID extension, it won't save the audio because the CWP contains pointers to the audio which it saves in a separate file that Sonar creates. 

You should also add a list of your computer hardware, version of Windows, and recording equipment in your signature. That will help us better answer your questions without a lot of back and forth trying to get that information. 

I am saving as a .CWP but may not have on the audio that I lost. Those files are gone now. 

Not necessarily. Do a search on the file name and check your audio folders and you may find them. 

You might want to start using per-project folders. That will make the associations of WAV files to projects clearer. Per-Project folders also make copying and backup of projects much easier.
