Best way of exporting audio tracks from sonar to other DAW and stay in sync
Hi friends, What is the best way of exporting audio tracks from a Sonar project to another DAW without losing its sync capabalities? I know that we can use the .CWB format file but it only works among Sonar users correct? If I have a 32 bar song with 8 tracks and one special track only starts at the bar 16 and it ends on bar 20 (4 bars only) but all other start at the bar 1 and ends at bar 32 how should export all tracks without losing it sync position? Is there anything related to start zero position to lock the sync position between tracks? Thank you very much.

Export the clips as Broadcast WAV files, which time-stamps their position on the timeline. Make sure the other DAW is capable of importing Broadcast WAV files, then import them.

I agree with Craig about exporting as Broadcast WAV files However, I never like to send anything to a producer without a fail safe method. So for me, it depends what kind of clip it is. -If its a Midi clip: go to the very start of the project and place 1 note (preferably a 1/8 note) then select the whole clip and choose "Bounce to clips". this will leave you with a track that starts at projects beginning. Assuring every track will line up in the future. (this 1/8 note will simply be deleted when imported in to new project/another daw.) -If its an Audio clip: A much easier method may be applied here. Simply drag the beginning of the audio clip (using the smart tool=cursor turns blue) to the very beginning of the project and then choose "Bounce to clips". When I save projects, send projects to producers or engineer's for further editing, I like to have everything organized. a method which is fail safe. I also send a "Project notes" document with track listing, special notes, exc. I also do other things but I wont get in to that (my Track naming process) Also *Be Sure to: bounce your audio tracks down to just one clip. You don't want to be sending little fragment's of clips, hoping he will figure out where they go. (if broadcast doesn't work) This can turn in to a mess and I have dealt with it first hand mixing other peoples projects. if you have a track with 10 little clips in it. select the track\right click\bounce to clips. Now all your little clips are 1 clip. Good luck

I tend to export as mixing stems that last from beginning of song to end of song, even if it is only two seconds of sound I have silence from 0 secs to when the audio starts. This means everything just aligns at 0.

Exactly. I've collaborated with people all over the world for years and always just selected the track and exported it. The resulting WAV always starts at 0:00:00, and always lines up in the project no matter where the actual audio starts, as long as everyone has the BPM and time sig set correctly.

Really thank you all for the answers, I need to give to the students all the audio tracks we have recorded so they will try to create a mix in another DAW they have like Audacity or Ardour. How to export as mixing stems? Do I have to select each one audio track and export or just select the complete project at once? I know that if we have all recorded tracks starting at the very beginning they will be in sync because they start together but it is a waste of HD space if we only have, lets say 4 seconds of an instrument recorded at the very end of a 4 minute song. Thank you very much and sorry for my english

That's a very important piece of information. I don't know if they import Broadcast WAV files at the proper times. In that case you probably have to start each file you want to export from the beginning of the song to insure they stay in sync. If you're concerned about hard disk space, you could export as MP3, Ogg Vorbis, or any other data compressed format the other DAW will accept. A long section of silence takes up very little memory with data compression.
