Importing .wav files- they placed at 1600 meassure- why?
Hey there
I have like 10 audio files to import on individual tracks. For some reason when I importing them one at a time, they been placed to measure 1600, it it is very hard to drag them back to 1- too far. I been using Cut/Paste to place them at measure one, but I am wondering why they going so far and what am I doing wrong/ I always put ruler at measure 1 and everything gets implored by the ruler- not these files. Thank you.

.wav files always (for me) have imported at the location of the "now" cursor, so just in case you havern't tried it, make sure your rewound ( hit the W key ) to the beginning of the song.
Also, look for the "to" and "from" locations and set them both to the beginning of the song.

There's a Preferences setting on the File, Audio Data tab - "Always import broadcast waves at their timestamp", uncheck this and they should import at the now time.

Ok, apparently, it imports at the location of where the clip starts in the song. So if vocals starts from 17, it imported 17 measures farther than beginning. So it must of imported at its time stamp. I do not understand why some one would make time stamp of files starting at 1656 starting on near 3 of that measure but not exactly on 3. These are steams from some world famous producer. The files were created on mac with Cubase, so it must be some translation issue.
The question is, what is the best way to move 10 files to measure 1, if they don't even start at 1.1.. I have tried to Select All, Cut and Paste but that moved some of the tracks out of alignment. I had Snap on when I did it, but that should not affect it. Will try to Cut/Paste again without Snap, but if you know better way, please, post.
Thank you.

Ok, I used Paste special and moved them to the beginning. They are Broadcast wavs- never heard of that. So there is a way to assign where the wave is supposed to be located in the song? How is it done in sonar? I always was just extending everything all the way to 1. Thank you.

AFAIK, PT defaults exports to the 1 hr mark for video purposes (so you are roughly 107 BPM?). Importing such at the time stamp is the best way to keep them aligned, but deleting the first hour would require them to be dragged as a unit (ctrl-a or zoom out enough to lasso everything), or using delete hole (on phone so cannot find post readily).

Vlada - did removing the check from the preferences parameter labelled Always Import Broadcast Waves at Their Time Stamp make it behave the way you wanted? (it is under Preferences>File>Audio Data) That parameter is set to be checked by Sonar as a default option. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_Wave_Format Bob Bone

As others have said, its a Time Stamp issue. Ya don't want to Import Broadcast Wave files at their T-Stamp.
Its been happening since the beginning of time, Cavemen did this so the dinosaurs wouldn't find the wave files and eat them.

It was, but it's a default that persists from older versions. So anyone installing SONAR from scratch won't have this issue. If you have an older version and change it manually, it will stay that way.
