Admin Note: Great Post here Dave!
I'm guesting you have 97 .wav files and you are using the Create Segment screen to bring these into your project. If this is true then activate the "Copy Samples To Default File" button. This will allow you to have a segment for each file but the software is only looking at one file. We have found this to make the computer operate more efficently.
Also be sure to "COMPACT" "NO", once you have all of the files in the project. This will cancel the .wav file association if it was already there.
Also look in the Create Segment Open Files dialog box to make sure you have not missed performing this task on each segment. If you forgot to do this on any segments then you will see the .wav files in the "Used Files" window that the project must open to play. Go to the segment that is still referencing the .wav file and save it to the default sound file. "Compact" "No" "Save"
On occassion the "Compact" "No" does not rid you of the file linkage. Just temporary rename the unwanted .sf file. Reopen the project and "Delete" "Yes" the unwanted file when the software requests you to locate it. "Save" Now you have a happy camper. Rename the unwanted file so it can be used at a later date.
ADMIN WARNING! Doing this will remove any segments from the project that come from that file, which you may not want to do. If the segments are desired, you will have to re-create them after renaming and approving deletion of the segments.
I maxed out V5.2 one time in files and segments and MTU was kind enough to act on my/all of us requesting to up the file and segment numbers. I also found the computer to be sluggest when trying to read that many files at once. The above work around is the best thing I've come up with so far. Just make sure you have the hard drive space before you start the process.
Admin Note: You do have a limit of 2GB in the default mono (.sf1) and 2GB in the default stereo (.sf2) files. Using the "Copy Samples To Default File" check box will increase the size of the mono/stereo default file, which cannot exceed 2GB. When doing very large projects, it is best to keep an eye on the size of your default files, using Windows Explorer. If you run out of space in these files, you will have great pain.
