I recorded 2 tracks in Sonar Platinum. They were saved as .wav files.
I created another Sonar project and imported the audio files.
I was hoping they would import at the location in the track that they were recorded, but they didn't. The were placed at the beginning of the track.
Any ideas why they were not imported at the correct location?
 
What I was expecting here was that the wav files are broadcast wav files and would import at their timestamp.
Maybe I'm missing a setting?
"Always import broadcast wav files at their timestamp" IS selected in preferences.
 
Thanks.
 
 

They will be placed wherever the Now line is.
You can check the original project for the clip Properties and change the start time of the clips in the new project.
In fact, the original clip start time will be displayed in the new project's clip properties.

We're they exported as broadcast wav files? If not, they would have no time stamp info to import to.

Ok this is solved.
I didn't export them as broadcast wave files. I thought Sonar did this as a default.
If fact I didn't export them at all. They were the original recorded wav files. I recorded the tracks, opened a new project and imported them from the audio files folder of the first project.
Once I tried exporting them as broadcast wav files, them imported into the new project at the correct location.
All set.
 
 

mettelus provided the answer. You have to export the files as BWAVs if you want to subsequently import them at the same time offset.
 
Most of us don't bother with broadcast waves, though. When collaborating on a project, we'll just export regular wave files starting at 00:00, even if the audio begins later and there's a long silent period at the start. That way, you can send the file to your collaborators and all they have to do is insert it at 00:00 to have them fall perfectly into place.

Hold that thought...the Broadcast WAV format is going to have an additional use in the next update.
