| I have a folder full of live audio recorded with a hand held Edirol R-09 or my Sonar V-Studio 100. I've imported these files time and time again to edit. File/Import/Audio, go to folder where files are located, importing audio stream, and when it's finished importing there is a track there but no audio on it. Lines are flat and no sound. |

| It hasn't been my usual method. The power supply died in my PC (XP). So I took the hard drive out, put it in an external enclosure and put my laptop to work. I've imported files but all of a sudden it won't import anymore. Changes? Changes in access to folders. I've been using this software since Cakewalk 6. Recording with Sonar4 works fine on the laptop. I usually "run as administrator". I was instructed to do that when I installed it on my Vista laptop. I only used it for playing midi files then. Are you saying that because of Vista this may not work? |

Yes, it's possible that SONAR 4 is not work entirely correctly with Windows Vista, but I can't say for sure.
I do know that starting with Windows Vista, the Windows OS has been much less compatible with older software.
Windows XP was designed to work with pretty much all the older software, which is why just about any Windows software will run on that OS.
But Windows Vista messed with a lot of the older stuff and it's the same way with Windows 7.
So... yes, Vista could be the problem, but I can't be positive. Although, you said recording with SONAR 4 on the laptop and Vista works fine, right? I'm assuming you mean recording audio?
If that's the case, then I don't see why you wouldn't be able to import files.
One thing to try... SONAR allows you to also import files by just dragging and dropping them into the Track view. Try dragging one of the audio files from Windows Explorer into SONAR and see if it imports that way.

| Recording audio works fine. Dragging and dropping has the same results as importing, flat lines and no audio. I've disliked Vista ever since I bought this laptop. Should I uninstall Vista and revert back to XP? I'm getting ready to leave town and I need for everything to be working properly. |

| I became frustrated paying $180.00 every six months for software upgrades but it looks like that's what I'll have to do. What version of Sonar works well with Vista? |

| Thank you Scott. You have got to be one busy guy. I'm going to fix my PC. Looks like changing the OS on my laptop could be problematic. Best wishes to you. |
