I use Audacity with LAME encoder.
Import wave, then export to 320 kbps mp3.
Just in case you didn't see it, post #3 up above shows you how to get the LAME encoder inside Sonar.
I believe an advantage of doing things this way is that you get to use the last version of the encoder.
Yeah I saw it, but I'm so used to Audacity that's almost automatic

.
And fits my workflow better, from mixing mindset to amateurish mastering mindset.
