Utilities > Consolidate Project Audio
The Utilities > Consolidate Project Audio command copies all the audio used by the current
project into a subfolder of the project’s audio folder. Use this command to create a backup of your
project’s audio.
For more information:
“Backing up projects with digital audio” on page 1102
Utilities > Clean Audio Folder
Use the Utilities > 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 Utilities > Clean Audio Folder command, see “To delete unused
audio files” on page 1103.
Utilities > Change Audio Format
Use the Utilities > 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 Utilities > Change Audio Format command, see “Change Audio
Format dialog” on page 1482.
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.
