Missing Audio? One Newbie to Another

[Alanfc]

From one Cakewalk newbie to another

I had this happen today. Where I wanted to save my WRK file as a bundle and it wouldn't let me. Said "you must delete the missing audio Event before saving as a bundle" or something like that.

After looking in with my Cakewalk Audio Finder Tool, I saw so many things I could mess up that I closed it quickly and ran away. I also searched the Cakewalk board and found approaches to this that I could -almost- grasp, but not quite! ..

Then I thought, Cakewalk said "Event", hmmmm. So I thought if I inserted a new audio track, highlight-shift-slide the suspicious clips down to the new track (thus keeping the stuff I knew was real), maybe this "missing audio" would be revealed. And it was ! A little grey bar in the original track. I dragged it larger and it was an empty white clip... Got it ! Deleted it- then I was able to save as a bundle because I had deleted the missing audio.

I was lucky because I had a track that I remember doing some weird copying pasting editing stuff on, and went right to it. If you weren't so lucky, you'd have to do this on every track but its worth the time, I thought.

Hey , Experienced guys, please let us know if this is bad advice and I just got lucky - - -Thanks

Well, it shouldn't happen if you Apply Trimming on each audio clip before you save it Have a look at this thread... Dachay2tnr had beautifull explanation on this one. Have a look...
