Got my new Zoom h2n. I pulled a small clip off the memory card and put it on my laptop drive. No matter how I try to get it into sonar, It ends up several hours down the time line. I imported and dragged. Same results. I thought it was a bit rate issue so I messed with changing that and same. The wav does get into sonar and sounds great, just a real pain to move it to home.

1. Go to Edit > Preferences > File - Audio Data.
2. Clear the Always Import Broadcast Waves At Their Timestamp check box, then click OK.
Broadcast Wave files will now import at the project’s Now time.

So did that solve it for you?

Sorry. I was trying to reply on my phone and I don't care for that so much. Yes that worked. I'm still a bit curious as to why this would happen tho. and I wonder if the zoom can save a time stamped wav? I could just turn the preference back on, but it might do the same thing. I was going to use the zoom to record audio along with some video and sync later in software. Probably do it manually. Is there a way to move a clip all the way to the start of the project if I get in that spot again? Without having to drag it slowly

Its quite simple on some BWF the time stamp is read wrong by Sonar.

You'll need to check the Zoom documentation to see how it generates time-stamped WAVs. You may be able to turn it off.
 
In any event if you tell SONAR not to recognize the time stamp, you can just import the WAV to wherever you place the Now time.
