Take a look at the Data Directory field at the top. The path you see is the location where Cakewalk looks for your<br \/>audio data. Mark this path down, and close Cakewalk.<\/p>\n<p>Now choose Start | Find | Files or Folders. Type *.WA~, and make sure Windows is looking in My Computer. Click Find Now, and you&#8217;ll see a list of .WA~ files appear<br \/>in the window below. Take a note of their locations. If the path of these .WA~ files is not the same as the path you saw in Cakewalk, you&#8217;ll need to reconcile that. The<br \/>easiest way is to use Windows Explorer to simply move all the .WA~ files into the proper location. Once done, your files should open properly.<br \/>(If the Find | Files of Folders does not come up with any .WA~ files, they are most likely lost from the hard drive, and you&#8217;ll need to re-create your files. )<\/p>\n<p>If the .WA~ files are found and are in the correct location but you still receive the error, there is a way to manually recreate your files. Open a file that gives you the<br \/>error message. Choose Insert | Wave File, and navigate to the location of the .WA~ files. In the Name field type *.*, and hit Enter. You&#8217;ll now see all of the .WA~<br \/>files listed. You may be able to audition them using the Play button, or you can tell which ones are which by the creation date. Double click on the files to import them<br \/>into Cakewalk. Once they&#8217;re all in, you&#8217;ll need to rearrange them properly, then resave the file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33245],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Why do I get a &quot;missing audio has been replaced with silence&quot; error? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/missing-audio-been-replaced-silence-error\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Why do I get a &quot;missing audio has been replaced with silence&quot; error? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You will receive this error if Cakewalk cannot locate the audio data associated with the .WRK file you&#8217;re opening.
