Doubtful. Since it's looking for audio files that tells me you've either deleted the original audio files or moved the folder to some other location. You'll need to either recreate your old folder structure, or recover the missing audio files to the original folder before opening these old projects. If you had created bundle files like someone suggested, then you would have had all the audio information contained in the bundle. I always archive valuable projects into bundles, as well as backing up the original files and audio files folders. Using the Per-project folder scheme for storing the audio files is a very good way to help with this type of backup. Good luck.

I'm using a new system that includes Caketalking and Cakewalk for Sonar 8.5 studio, Jaws 11, on Windows 7. I have old projects that include midi tracks with audio tracks created from mixing down. These are from around Cakewalk 4 Producer Edition. I recorded these projects using Edirol Orchestral Soft Synth, but now I've switched to GPO. I tried opening one of them, but it wanted to look for missing audio data and seemed to mess with the new PlugIn when I tried to go back to a new project I recently made. So, would it be possible to paste the midi tracks into the new project, then choose which patches I want to use? If so, can someone please tell me how?
