If you are getting allot of corrupt projects, specially during saving, you
might want to give your hard drives a good check with something other than
windows tools. This could show CRC errors on your drives, or
Pending/reallocated sectors, all which mean your drive is going down the
drain. If you get pending writes errors, it could mean a problem with the
physical connectors or sata cable.
In all my years using sonar, I've only got 1 corrupted project, and it was
due to an old drive I was using that was going bad.
If your drives check out fine, the next step would be to check all your ram,
again with an external third party tool. This is because when sonar saves
the project it actually takes the data from ram/paging files and drops them
into a physical file on the drive. RAM corruptions will cause the file to be
written out to the drive with corrupt data, causing the file to not open
properly when you reopen, even though sonar seems to have saved it
correctly.
The only other cause of this could be that sonar crashes in the middle of a
save, or that a plug-in's dupm data is invalid for the plug-in (usually when
the plug-in is not properly installed or some helper library/file is corrupt
for the plug-in).
These are just some things to check and keep in mind when this happens; it's
definitely a frustrating experience that you spend 4 hours working on a
track and the next day when you go to reopen, it all seems to be gone or
refuses to open!

Thanks man!!!
I really appreciate your response.
I will definitely have to save this email for future reference. Sometimes
Sonar projects become corrupted and as a result, Sonar will crash when
attempting to open them.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who has had this happen.
May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus.

The audio can be obtained from the project's audio folder.
However, most likely what's causing sonar to stall is a plug-in that
you have inserted in that project. Or perhaps configuration data has
gone bad (did you have a power loss? Are your hard drives working
causing issues.
In any case, the easiest way to try and recover the data is by opening
the project in safe mode. To do this:
1. open sonar and close any default template project.
2. Go to file>Open, or press ctrl+O.
3. Use the list view of files/folders to navigate to the cwp file of
the project in question.
4. Now, hold down the shift key as you press enter on the cwp file.
Sonar will begin to open the project in safe mode.
In this mode, sonar will ask you if you want to load each instance of
any plug-ins you may have assigned. You should answer no to all if you
just want to open the project with no plug-ins/effects; you just want
the data to copy it over to a new project for example.
However, if you want to see which plug-in is causing issues, answer
yess 1 by 1, until you see sonar freeze and stop responding. Whatever
the last plug-in was or whatever track the plug-in went to is the one

If you successfully open the project, don't resave it, as sonar will
remove the data that you excluded in the safe mode open dialog. The
best way to approach this is to do a save as. Of course you could
always reinsert the plug-ins from scratch and go from there if you'd

Subject: [ddots-l] How do I recover audio and midi data from a project

Hi all,
I am having a problem opening one of my projects. I was hoping to add
some more tracks to it, but now since it will not open, I'm wondering
how I can retrieve the audio and the midi data.
Now whenever I try to open the project, Jaws says Sonar not responding.
Close the program or wait for it to respond. Of course, if I waited, I
would be waiting forever.
I really need the data from this project, so I'm definitely open to
any suggestions anyone may have.
Help!!!
May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart
and mind in Christ Jesus.
