Audio Folders
By default, SONAR stores audio data separately from the rest of your projects, as wave files placed
into a special folder called the Global Audio Folder, the location of which is listed in the Global
Audio Folder field on the Audio Data tab in the Global Options dialog. You can also create audio
folders on a per-project basis.

Global Audio Folders
You can change the location of the Global Audio Folder. This may be necessary if, for example, your
hard disk is full and you want to move all audio data storage to a different hard disk. We strongly
recommend that you do not change the location of the Global Audio Folder unless absolutely
necessary.
If your original Global Audio Folder contains any audio files with the extension .wav, you must
manually move these files to the new Global Audio Folder using the Windows Explorer, or open the
project and use the Missing Audio dialog to find and move the missing files.
To Change the Global Audio Folder
1. Choose Options > Global and click the Audio Data tab.
Note: Previous versions of Cakewalk used a folder called the WaveData folder, located in the
product directory.
