Is there a way to convert sample rates in Sonar X2 or X3 Projects?

How to change the sample rate of a project http://www.cakewalk.com/D...rmance.05.html#1117623

Unfortunately the SONAR-only procedure has some big shortcomings: It doesn't address bringing the audio back into the original project with the new sample rate, preserving all the non-destructive processing and other project content and settings. And SONAR renames the files on export in a way that can make that difficult to re-import everything manually. Plus it forces you to bounce down multi-clip and multi-lane tracks to single-clip tracks.
 
This is where a 3rd-party sample-conversion application like the free Voxengo R8Brain comes in handy. R8Brain has a batch mode that will create re-sampled copies of all the audio files in place with the original names and add a prefix/suffix to the original files (or delete them if you so choose). Then when you re-open the original project (or a copy of it) with those re-sampled files in the audio folder, SONAR will automatically set the project rate to match the audio it finds, and you're done.
 
Though it does involve using a 3rd-party conversion app, it's by far the fastest and least complicated way of converting a project's sample rate and/or bit depth without altering the project otherwise.

Thanks and you are welcome. Google and the search function on the Cakewalk home page combined with a big dose of lazy.
