I have a completed recording, including a vocal, in Melodyne Studio 4 because I changed the tempo of the song.  Now I am trying to figure out how to export it to Sonar so I can add some drums, etc.
 
I tried saving it as a .wav file but could not see how to bring that file into Sonar because Sonar lists the file types you bring in, but .wav is not among them, nor is the type of extension that Melodyne uses.  MIDI is listed but that is probably not suitable since this song has a vocal.
 
I used the Standalone version of Melodyne because that gives more good control over tempo changes supposedly.  Could I still use the ARA ability of Sonar to bring it in?  Or is there another way?
 
Any ideas what I'm missing?  Thanks.
 
 

I must admit I'm not exactly clear what you're going for, but it seems you're using Melodyne Studio as a DAW itself.
OK, I guess that works, with some obvious limitations.
Can't you just add a new blank audio track in Sonar, and drag n' drop the resulting WAV file there from the Sonar file browser ?

I guess the main reason for ding this, is stability when you have 8 tracks you are working with that are the length of the song each, rather than chunks of a track when taken from sonar. So I guess you have both multi tracks and a Tempo map and key to import.
 
 
 
 
 

I don't get it - you say SONAR can't import a wav-file!!?? Of course it can! Every audio track it records is wav.
Or are you trying to import a file that includes several tracks?
Import > audio or drag the wav-file into a track in the track view.

Melodyne saves projects in its own proprietary format. You have to export the tracks as waves (File -> Export), and then they can be easily imported into SONAR. Keep in mind that tempo changes won't be automatically applied to the SONAR project. But if one of your Melodyne tracks is a metronome or click track, SONAR can create a tempo map to match it. Sorry, it's been too long since I last did that to give you step-by-step instructions. Try referencing the Melodyne online help.
 
I suppose it might be do-able to create blank tracks in SONAR, insert Melodyne's interface plugin, open the Melodyne project and then transfer data by freezing the tracks, but I've never actually done that.

You are obviously trying to import the wav the wrong way. The easiest way is to browse to it in win explorer then just drag it into the track view or into the track you want it in.

Sounds like your tying to open the wav file using Sonars FILE menu. That's only for the couple of Cakewalk formats and midi. 
I see a problem here as your saying it's a multi track file? Didn't know Melodyn did more than stereo. ?
If it's just a stereo audio file then create a new Cakewalk project and as said above  you "import" the wav file which can be done a few ways. Easiest by far is to drag it from the Browser on the right. 
But if your adding midi parts after the fact you will need to have the project set at that exact tempo first. If there are tempo variations I'm not sure what you can do as that is a can of worms. 
 
Really in the future you should start with the drums or at least a project with your tempo set the way it will be. You can tool copy audio tracks into 3rd party software, never thought about Melodyn but might be possible, but I guess we would always just use the supplied method and open as a regional effect. So not sure why you choose that workflow as now you will have an issue syncing that vocal track to a midi tempo.

Sorry for the delay in responding to all these helpful answers.  I was not sent the responses even though I had checked the box that requested them, and I thought I was not getting any responses at all.  Finally I went directly to check.
 
My problem was that I was trying to Save the Melodyne file as a .wav file, which it will not do, and Sonar will not recognize the Melodyne format (.mpd).  But when I Exported it instead to a separate folder, then I was able to make it a .wav file, which I was then able to open in Sonar as an audio file in a new project. 
 
Thanks to bitflipper and everyone else for the help......Don
 
 
 

Sorry for not responding sooner. I also use Melodyne Studio as a standalone, and I know exactly what you are dealing with.
 
Melodyne does some odd things with how it deals with files...not 'Windows Standard' as we are all used to. This makes saving and bringing up files in Melodyne a strange experience. A while back they made it even stranger by sticking the .wav files intended to export from Melodyne to wherever in a separate 'export' folder, and also did some weird things if you tried to re-save a file to export...I am not in Melodyne now and so can't be real exact here, but just know that the file stuff is rather odd and non-intuitive.
