    Beagle,

    Im using my UA 4FX now,but i recorded it with my UA 4FX if you get me (after i changed the driver). The clip is blank,but it still makes the sound and the levels are moving as if it is still there.

    Not sure about the technical end of why it's happening- but if you right click on the track>clip properties>audio files and click recompute, you can restore the wave.

    Another option is to empty your picture cache (the waveforms will recreate themselves when you open the project).  It could just be a corrupted cookie.

    I don't remember where it's stored, but you can find it by going to OPTIONS>GLOBAL>FOLDERS and look at the path where the PICTURE CACHE is located.

    Press Ctrl+A to select all, right click a clip, go to clip properties, press the audio files tab, and press the "Recompute Pictures" button.
    This will be a temporary fix, but it seems like your picture cache is not being located properly like already said.
