Hi, Justin
Sonar does not appear to support exploding takes to tracks, so there is going to be a significant amount of tedious manual manipulation to get the takes into separate tracks for export.
The different methods that Keni suggested will get the job done, but maybe we can brainstorm a method that will eliminate some finicky track-to-track drag-and-drop operations or opening the export menu dozens of times.
Assumptions and disclaimers:The project uses "per project" audio folders and not the global audio folder.
You didn't mention whether you used
Comping or
Sound on Sound recording mode, but Comping mode will probably require more effort to un-mute clips in the takes.
I have no idea how large your project is with regards to number of tracks, takes, or clips.
You may look at the suggested procedure below and question my sanity, but you won't be the first to question my sanity.
Scenario:Project name:
"Test85"Track 1:
"Actor 1" with 4 takes
Track 2:
"Actor 2" with 4 takes
Procedure:1. Open Browser and select the Media tab. Navigate to the Audio folder inside the
"Test85" Project folder.
2. Expand the Take lanes for
"Actor 1".
3. Make sure all clips in all of the lanes are un-muted. If you used Sound on Sound, then you may be lucky and none of your clips are muted. If you used Comping mode, then you will have to select all muted clips and use the "K" keyboard shortcut to un-mute them.
4. Select the first take (the last one in the list, since they are in reverse order) and make sure all clips in the take lane are selected.
5. Use Bounce to Clips to create a new audio file for the first take. The Browser will display the new files as
"Actor 1 (Bounced, number)". Sonar increments the
number for each subsequent Bounce of the take (ex.
"Actor 1 (Bounced, 7)",
"Actor 1 (Bounced 8)", etc.).
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining takes in the
"Actor 1" track.
7. Use Shift-Click to select all 4 newly created files and drag them into the Track view. Sonar will automatically create 4 new tracks with names that match the file names.
8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for the
"Actor 2" track.
There is still cleanup to do with track naming etc. before exporting, but the 8 steps here should get you started.
I recommend that you
create a keyboard shortcut for Bounce to Clips to speed up the process (I use CTRL+B).
While there is still a significant amount of manual effort in the procedure, there is no dragging of clips from one track to another, manually creating tracks new tracks, cloning, or multiple use of the export dialog. I was able to complete the procedure for both tracks in the example in less than 2 minutes.
