SONAR 1 problem : doesn't record Bundles anymore

[AliAlexandre]

Hi, I have a recent problem wiht Sonar : it no longer accepts to record Bundle files, ans I get a message : "OUT OF MEMORY". My Audio Hard Disk is a 10 GB one and I have only used 2 GB, so there should be room enough...I use Win 2000. Even worse, not only am I no longer able to save bundles (and therefore archive any audio project which is quite a problem!) but I have run the Clean Audio Disk function in order to check if this could help a bit, and it seems to have deleted audio files pertaining to existing project, so I have lost 3 or 4 projects just like that, and I am pretty disappointed. There must be a bug somewhere, but where? I used to archive my work in budle files for years and now, just gone. I read in a review by Craig Anderton that version 2 of Sonar no longer uses the Bundle function and saves the audio with the original file. This may be the solution for me? Is is more stable? Thanks for your help. Alex

Did you try defragging the disk? Jose.

All that changed about the bundle format was its extension -- used to be .bun in Sonar 1 and earlier, but it was changed to .cwb in Sonar 1.2 or something. You are confusing disk space with memory. You can have all the storage in the world, but you could get this error regardless, if the system has too little available memory.

How much RAM do you have?

Here's another possibility: if you try to save over a file with a read-only attribute. For example, you save a file called ALI to CD-ROM. You bring it back to hard disk, open it in Sonar, then try to save it. Because it is read only, Sonar will interpret that as not being writable, and will give an out of memory message. Right click on the file and look at Properties. If Read Only is checked, that's the problem -- uncheck it, and you should be okay.
