citerar: I created a song and saved it. Now when I try to open it again I get a message saying ´Bad Format´. Is my song destroyed?
This is because of a bug in Reason. Luckily it´s very easy to solve and work around it. This error occurs when you save a song and another file with the same name in the same directory on systems that are set to hide the file extensions. For example, if you save a song called MySong.rns and it has a REX-file called MySong.rex, then Reason will try to load the Rex file as the song, resulting in a bad format message. For a quick fix - just rename the song and open it. For a permanent fix, do this:
Start the Windows Explorer
Go to View -> Folder Options
In the Folder options window, click the ´View´ tab
In the ´Advanced Settings´ field, disable the ´Hide file extensions for known file types´ option.
Click OK
After doing this, Reason will probably report missing sounds when you open a song that you´ve had problems with earlier. Use the search and replace dialog to find the sounds and then save the song again. Doing this will fix the song.
