Mp3 is in the export type dropdown, in the Export dialog. SONAR comes with a 30 day trial license. There is a one-time fee, currently $19 to activate the mp3 encoder.

I use to do something similar, but recently have had to send people test/practice tracks via email, and stumped up the fifteen quid for licence.  It's so much easier now.

You may be in the 30 day trial period.



Ah...  I bet you're right!  I think I have the MP3 Encoder activation file around here somewhere.

I just did a clean install of Win8 and X2 64-bit last week, and I get Lame 3.97 when I export mp3, so I'm assuming X2 comes with Lame. Seems to work fine.

Dont' forget that if you previously had the 32 bit version of SONAR and were using the Cakewalk mp3 encoder then you will need to get a download link for the 64 bit version. You can get it by sending a link request to customer support.

X2 only comes with a thirty day trial MP3 encoder.  After that time it stops working.

Good to know!  I was just about to install the 32-bit version.  Thanks!

Yeah, it's possible Lame may have come with another program I just installed, although the only one I can think of is Vegas.  I have the Fraunhofer encoder license from CW Pro Audio 9 if I need it, but Lame does a decent job and it's open source.

d/l the 64bit version of Voxengo SPAN. http://www.voxengo.com/product/span/

Keni/digimidi - you may need to contact tech support to unlock the mp3 encoder in 64bit SONAR. That is what I did, they emailed me an unlock program. The ProAudio disk is no longer used.


Thanks...

I'll do that... why do these things always turn up on a Saturday so I have to wait the weekend to follow up on? <sigh>
