How to open CWX file?
The main problem with Sonar Track Template is that the CWX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CWX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CWX 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.

Programs to open CWX file
Remember to download programs supporting CWX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SONAR with CWX files
If, despite the installed application, the CWX file does not start in the SONAR application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CWX file with the SONAR application.
Step 3. Update SONAR to the latest version
If, however, after binding SONAR with Sonar Track Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Cakewalk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CWX 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CWX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 CWX file. However, remember that not every infected CWX 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 CWX file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CWX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cakewalk, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CWX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move CWX to a different directory.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CWX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
