i would consider myself an experienced cakewalk user and i build computers and service them for a living, so i've seen my share of bad crap. but the other day, i booted up my machine, opened cakewalk and opened my latest project and that sickening message came up about the track wavs not being found. i then checked my wavedata directory and it was empty. i almost cried, that was about 6 months down the crapper, so i uninstalled, re-installed and got started again, then last night, after just finishing some touch-ups to my song, closed down cakewalk,saving all changes, then my taSCAM us-428 crapped up and i rebooted. when everything came back up, the wavedata directory was once again empty. i've checked all the help files and faqs both in the program and online. i have all the updates and i know that it's not a problem with my hard drive setup, because the only files that are missing are the track wavs in the wavedata directory, the only thing i can figure is that having emagic's soundiver software running in the background did something, but i can't understand what. i get no error messages when i have them both running, i honestly don't really have a clue what to do, i even set cakewalk to autosave every 5 changes, but it's all gone when the track files disappear.i'm having some clients come in soon and i can't have this going on then. that just won't work, someone please tell me that this is fixable. here are my specs:
gigabyte ga-7i1xe m/b with amd 751 chipset
384 mb pc-100 ram
thunderbird 1ghz processor (she's a sweet ride when everything works!)
2 20 gb ata-66 5400's, one on each onboard ide channel
1 40 gb ata-66 promise raid array with 2+0 striping (this is my audio drive, cakewalk is set up here as is the wavedata dir.)
Riva tnt2 32mb agp
soundblaster live
aurreal vortex2
realtek ethernet card (disabled most of the time because the tascam hates it)
taSCAM us-428 (demon possesed driver version 1.0 don't buy one)
Win ME
Cakewalk 9.03
emagic soundiver version, uh, crap, i think it's the newest one, off the pod website.
someone please read this and have all the answers for me.
this is a very humbling experience, i can usually fix it, but this is kicking my hiney. well, thanks in advance for any posts.
