Restoring missing audio files

When you open a project file that references audio files which SONAR can not find, the Find Missing Audio dialog box appears. Use the following procedure to restore the missing audio files to your project.

To restore missing audio files

1.	In the Find Missing Audio dialog box, click the Search button.

The Search for Missing Audio dialog box appears and SONAR begins searching all available hard drives for the missing file or files.

2.	When SONAR is finished searching, the files that it has found appear in the dialog box.

3.	Select the file or files that SONAR has found and click OK.

The Find Missing Audio dialog box appears.

4.	Select one of the following options:

Move file to Project Audio Folder. Use this option if you are sure that no other projects are referencing this file in its present location.

Copy file to Project Audio Folder. Use this option if the missing file is shared with another project and you want to keep all of your project’s audio files together.

Reference file from present location. Use this option if you want to leave the missing file in its current location now that SONAR knows where it is.

5.	Click Open.

SONAR moves, copies or references the missing file or files as you instructed.
