here is the set up. I just got this computer....

Dell Dimension 2400
SB Live 5.1 Soundcard
1GB RAM

I am using PA9 and Soundforge. My funds are gone so I have to half ass some things. I have done this for a while. I record the drums on a VS880 and then mix down to PA9 and add tracks from there. When I did this on my old computer, it worked fine. But now when I try to add new tracks, the drums from tracks 1-4 bleed over onto the new tracks. What gives?

here is a side problem. I saved my old files from CW PA9 and burned them onto a disk. When I try to load them on the new computer it says it can not recognize the audio files. Any help there would be cool too. Thanks
 
Do you copy the audio aswell or do you just burn the wrk file?

Have you tried saving the project as a bundle (bun) file?

First, you must open Windows audio mixer (double click on icon speaker near clock on taskbar). Click Options-->Properties-->Recording. Select Line Input instead of "What U Hear" (and make sure you record thru Line In of your soundcard).

It's been long time since we used Cake Pro Audio 9, but I think you need to save your -audio contained- project as ".bun" file (stands for bundled) instead of only ".wrk".

What's the different, Jaymz?

Bundle file will save MIDI and audio files into the bundled file along with Cakewalk's additional information. Wrk saves only MIDI data, and Cakewalk's additional information plus refference to specific audio files belong to the project on your HD. However, the audio files themself won't be saved. It's for file size wise. moskus was right, best option will be to open the project in previous computer, and re-save as .bun file.

Thank you very much! I will try that when I get home. As far as how I saved the files. I believe they are .wrk files. The really bad part is, the day before my new computer arrived, my old one smoked out so I will just have to start over with what I had.
