  • sharing a sonar project with Logic?

rather than just dump wave files of clips to dropbox on a project I am working on with someone. is there a way to save the whole project with time stamp included. so when I give him the song to edit in Logic, it is all in sync? I looked in the help index for saving but not sure if OMF is the right direction.
Thanks

Not sure about that kind of process being cross platform in all DAWs...
So, there is a bundle file format, but Logic will not open it.
 
So..as they do in video land with the snap board and sound of it......mark each track with a Loud marker sound at each beginning or end point...set loop markers of song length....export stems, or tracks to individual formats needed by the other collaborator , and he or she will have to align the markers in the right format and import in to the right bit depth, time signature, and tempo, you have set in your project put on a note pad or in the stem names...all this info can be put on a note pad for that to go forward...
 
And then they can cut out the silence and such...it should all line up, if the export settings between "loop marker"  is set or selected in the export feature window , before doing the actual export...and or the file type wanted to be individual track per track exported into.
All tracks will then all be the same size...so should be no re alignment necessary...but put the markers of sound on all tracks at the exact same places...just to be sure?
 
Any other way?...Not that I am ware of.
 
Cheers.

Hi. Have you tried to export them as Broadcast wave? It should keep timestamp.
Others will know more about it.
All the best.

midi click can also be recorded throughout the project length...to a audio track...Just to mention another time keeper.

I have successfully transferred songs from Sonar 7 to Logic. I believe I used omf. It was pretty simple.

I've been doing this quite a bit recently.

Exporting Sonar audio tracks as broadcast wave bounces so they have a time-stamp that ensures they're placed correctly when imported to Logic is one way. Another is to export the tracks ensuring each starts at a bar marker and place them at the correct points in Logic manually.

Make sure track and file names are useful and descriptive, it makes sorting them out in another DAW much easier.

If the Sonar tracks don't need re-working in Logic as individual tracks then export a stereo mix from Sonar which can be imported into Logic as a single stereo track.

For MIDI tracks, just export the MIDI or bounce it to audio and export that.

update:after the crash/ it seems the file was there in my folder. I tried to open it in sonar and it did open. going to try to send it do my Logic user. see how it goes.
 
well trying to set up an OMF in different ways always ended up with a system crash. sent it to cakewalk.
gonna have to try the broadcast wave and bar markers. ;)
