How to open DAW file?

The main problem with Hasbro Scramble CDROM OWL2 List Format is that the DAW file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DAW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DAW 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 Cubase

In this case, you should first verify that the Cubase application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Cubase 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 DAW files.

Programs to open DAW file

Remember to download programs supporting DAW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cubase with DAW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DAW file still does not use the Cubase program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DAW file with the Cubase application.

Step 3. Update Cubase to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Cubase program with the Hasbro Scramble CDROM OWL2 List Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DAW file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DAW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DAW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DAW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DAW files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DAW file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DAW except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move DAW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DAW file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
