I'm guessing that some organizational file/folder housekeeping may be in order first, because it looks as though you are possibly storing all of your project resource audio in the default "Audio Data" folder, which can be a recipe for disaster IMHO.Īs said by use per project folders if there will be any audio in the projects. You could also read in the help manual (Pg 329) about the "Play List" function, it may be of some service as well, including some features that may be handy, like preloading the next song, and using machine control to pause/start. This also tends to cut down on fragmentation as an added bonus. The orig project should then know to always look in its own child folders for resources and not get lost, as all frozen tracks should be stored in a nested architecture (if your storage preferences are set appropriately).

You can then rename the shortcuts in order and with any other relevant details. When creating your backing tracks in a folder, put each song in there as to, the create a new folder in a convenient location and then create a windows file shortcut to each original CWP file. Ideally, I'd like to be able to swap folders at will ( like I can easily do with CWP files ) and not have the frozen file wanting to look for audio and going into silence if I skip the steps.ĭoes anybody have some suggestions or know what I am doing wrong? So I am wondering why some give trouble, others don't and its probably something I am doing wrong freezing the MIDI tracks, or when I save the frozen file. Some files however, there's no trouble with and I don't get asked where the audio is If I skip the loading, most, if not all the tracks in the file are silenced. However with frozen tracks, some of them when opened are looking for audio ( I guess the audio saved when freezing ) and that's impossible to go find where the audio is at a gig. The problem I have now is that when I go to make up a new set list, I normally copy the CWP files over to the various sets, prefix them with a number and I can easily go through the list at the gig.

People here suggested freezing the MIDI tracks, which I did and that has helped. Our band uses Cakewalk backing tracks going into a Ui24R Digital mixer.Ī while back I had trouble with some tracks freezing or CbB crashing altogether.
