HOW TO: CWENC and SONAR 4
Well, I've seen it said before it doesnt work, but it does..thought I'd share how I made it work...
first
tools/cakewalk ext coder config
friendly name (give it a name, i called mine freemp3)
path (the path to cwenc) mine is
C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Shared Utilities\
command line: (i use this)
cwenc.exe -h %I %O
save it
now we export
file->export audio
file name (what you want to call it, i called is carlblack for this example)
file type (friendly name we gave cwenc in the previous steps, i called it "freemp3" up above)
bounce settings (use whatever floats your boat here)
click export
Mixing down audio....wait......
cwenc window pops up
click select on input file
( now my cakewalk stuff is setup defaults (ymmv)
but this is what I do next)
browse to C:\Cakewalk Projects\[your project folder name]\Audio and look for the name you gave the file in the expoart name up above it shold look something like this:
carlblack.mp3.TMP.WAV (carlblack being the name I gave it in this case up above)
so you select that file as the input file
now click output file
select save as type as (Audio Files *.mp3 *.ogg)
give it a name in the file name box
click save
click all the options you want in the cwenc window...
click OK
encoding....wait....
(then you'll get an error/warning about the encoder not returning soemthing, click OK on that)
Browse to folder where you said you wanted the MP3.
MP3 created!
Works everytime here.
after the camewalk ext coder config is setup you can skip that step from now on and just go to the file->export audio and follow the steps from there.
