How to open CWB file?
The main problem with Cakewalk Bundle is that the CWB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CWB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CWB file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SONAR
In this case, you should first verify that the SONAR application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SONAR into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CWB files.
Programs to open CWB file
Remember to download programs supporting CWB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SONAR with CWB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CWB file still does not use the SONAR program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CWB file with the SONAR program.
Step 3. Update SONAR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SONAR program, it is possible that Cakewalk Bundle requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cakewalk, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CWB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The CWB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CWB file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CWB file. However, remember that not every infected CWB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CWB file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CWB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cakewalk help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CWB files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CWB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CWB to close. However, some background programs may block the CWB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
