Tools > Clean Audio Folder
Tools > Clean Audio Folder
Use the Tools > Clean Audio Folder command to delete digital audio files from an audio data
directory that are no longer used by any of your projects. You should use this command from time to
time to free up disk space.
For more information about the Tools > Clean Audio Folder command, see “To Delete Unused
Audio Files” on page 841.
Tools > Change Audio Format
Use the Tools > Change Audio Format command if you want to rewrite the audio in a project to a
different bit depth. Your sound card must be capable of playing the project at the new bit depth.
For more information about the Tools > Change Audio Format command, see Change Audio
Format dialog.
Options > MIDI Devices
The output setting for a track determines which piece of hardware will be used to produce the sound
stored in your project. The Options > MIDI Devices command opens the MIDI Devices dialog box,
which lets you choose the MIDI outputs you want to use.
For more information about setting up MIDI devices, see To choose MIDI devices and Setting up
output devices.
Options > Instruments
This command lets you choose one or more port/channel configurations and assign an instrument to
it or them.
Important: Make sure that all of your important project (.cwp and .wrk) files are stored in your
local hard disk(s) before using this command. If your project files are stored elsewhere, such as
a floppy drive, removable drive, or network drive, you risk accidentally deleting important audio
files that are associated with your projects.
Note: The Cakewalk Audio Finder (CWAFTool) is a more advanced utility for finding and
removing unused projects and audio files. This utility can be installed from the AutoRun menu
of the SONAR CD. If you have an older version of SONAR you can download the SONAR Audio
Finder from the SONAR Website at www.cakewalk.com.
