Sonar X3 came thru for me...
I needed a way to convert a 32 bit 44,100 hertz .wav file to a 16 bit, 44,100 hertz....(Requirements for TuneCore upload). I was able to convert it just fine in X3.
I know it's just a small task, but it was an important one to me. X3 had just the right tools to do the job.

Ah! But I bet you've never bounced!!
Seriously, I've been able to covert 32 bit 44.1KHz to 16 bit since Sonar 6.

Yes I know it's hilarious, but I wasn't able to do it in Audition CS6 !! Their option was 16.8 bit or 32 bit !!
I was under the gun and needed to convert this file in just a few minutes, X3 did the trick.
The file size difference from 32 bit to 16 bit is 51mb vrs 25.5 mb, so it does make a big difference to TuneCore.

I did bounce before there was freeze. As a matter of fact I didn't think we needed freeze because bounce was so powerful. But as usual I was wrong. Now I don't bounce I freeze except in the summer time.

DJWayne I'm just having fun.
I use Sonar for a lot more than just mixing too. When you know a program well you can find all sorts of things to do with it. I prefer it to just about any other program even if its overkill.

Well I look at my software programs as tools in a toolbox. Ya never know what you're going to need, but it's nice to have it when you need it.
I was able to make the conversion in just a couple of minutes with X3. Try doing a conversion like that without Sonar.

Actually I made a post about 6 months ago about X2 pulling me out of the fire when our keyboard player cancelled. I loaded up some prerecorded tracks into session drummer and we made it through the gig. Worked fantastic! I'm a huge fan boy of the software.

Just did it again... I needed to convert a MP3 to a 16 bit 44,100 hertz file, Sonar X3 did the trick with no problem. Usually it's the other way around, but I only have mp3 copies of the song available, and wanted it on iTunes via TuneCore.
TuneCore requires the 16 bit, 44,100 hertz format.

Because it was so simple I decided to put up one more mp3 converted to 16 bit 44,100 hertz file to TuneCore. So I posted three singles today....good day.

At least you haven't been kicked to the curb.

See, X3 pays for itself 3x over in no time. Can't complain about that!

Sonar is working fine for me. It's loaded with tools I'll use for years to come.
It really is a great software program.
