Unable to save entire recording. The audio disk may be full.

Anybody getting this error? I don't see it anywhere in a search of the forum... It seems to be coming up a lot lately, where I'm recording and it'll just stop, kind of like a dropout, and then that message will pop up: "Unable to save entire recording. The audio disk may be full." I'm definitely not running out of space on my hard drives, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

    When was the last time you defragged?

    In your aud.ini file, change DiskRecBufferSize to 512.

    That should fix it.

    Always a good ideal do defrag as well, but the aud.ini fix should get rid of that message.

    Yeah, that was probably the problem... it was at 128.

    Another good thing to do every so often is to open the Picture Cache folder and delete the contents.

    +1 to what everyone said. The aud.ini fixed the error, but you should defrag, big time.

    Pic cache idea isn't a bad one either. Back in the day that fixed a few weird errors.

    I have this exact same problem on occasion. I just changed my DiscRecBefferSize to 512 so hopefully that will do it. I'm looking for the Picture Cache and can't find it yet for Sonar7. I did find it in my Sonar4 and deleted all the contents. THere were 1500 files that seemed to all end in .WOV or .WTR.

    However, on my record to drive for Sonar7 I have a folder for each project X:\Cakewalk projects\project1... and in this diretly are a ton of .WOV and .WTR files. Apparantly, there should be a folder for Picture Cache that holds these files? and I don't have one so they just get dumped in there? Is it ok to delete all these .WOV and .WTR files and how do I direct them to save into one Picture Cache folder?

    That's in AUD.INI too:

    Thanks Dave! got it changed. what about the DiskBuf Size? now it is at 128. should I also change it to 512 like the DiskRecBufSize? I don't know what either of these things are but they sound so similar I have to ask the question

    "Unable to save entire recording. The audio disk may be full." I'm definitely not running out of space on my hard drives, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

    Not to be Hyper critical or anything but this error message is so... vague, it actually means "we don't have a clue what your problem is" so we hit you with the "Audio disk may be full error" is this type of programming difficult, maybe some programmer or C++ coder could answer that? Why don't the Bakers just say "Unknown error" like the rest do. This type of problem has also been around forever as well. These type of things should be addressed we are almost in our 8th incarnation of Sonar.

    I'm reading a book about anti-gravity at the moment and I just can't put it down
