Hi, I think you have a different problem to not finding the files. Normally this just gives you a prompt to find the files or skip them. It sound like your AW8 initialisation isn't happening correctly. Some questions: 1. do you get this message when you launch LAWP (not loading an existing song)? 2. does it behave differently when you load a song by double clicking on it to when you load the file from the file menu? 3. are you using the ASIO or MME drivers for the AW8? 4. Do you have another sound card in the machine ? Ray From: "WillyDon" <willydon@...> .. jus wondering, but pondering; and now i'm staggering! Randomly when I launch a song created in logic (lawp4.0), I get the following error: "Audiowerk: This audio device could not be initialized! " Obviously it is not finding my audio files to launch same! <snip>
