Is it possible to transfer a track from one project to another?    
For example, if I wanted to take a drum track in one project and create another project and use that same drum track, is there a way to do that?   
 
Thanks!

If you have SONAR set up to open more than one project at a time (in preferences - see post #6 below for detail), the simplest method is to open both projects and copy the relevant tracks from one to the other.
 
Edit: Included comment to post #6 below.

How do you open more than one project at a time in Preferences?
 
Thanks!

I don't know how to open more than one project at a time (used to be able to do that in previous SONAR versions).
However, you don't really need to do that. Just select the whole track, COPY and PASTE it into a track in your new project.

I should have been clearer... You can certainly open more than one project at a time. I just don't know how to put them in different windows so you can drag & drop.
 

Hi Greg, I knew you were going to ask that since I replied from my phone! LOL
 
In Edit->Preferences, ensure the "Advanced" button is selected at the bottom. Then on the left edge File->Advanced.
There is an entry near the center called "Allow Only One Open Project at a Time"... verify that this in unchecked, and you can open more than one project within SONAR.

You could select whatever midi and audio tracks belong to the drums you want to save and use in another project, then create a Track Template.  This would take all of your selected tracks, any associated routing assignments, any associated soft synths, and settings for all of the above, and save it to wherever you would like.  Then you could insert from that same Track Template later, in another project.
 
The thing though, is that the midi DATA for any midi track included in the selected tracks that MAKE the Track Template will NOT be saved as part of the Track Template.
 
That is not a problem, however, as you can SUPER easily take the midi data for any track, highlight all the midi clips in that midi track, then simply click and hold on that midi track and drag the selected clips off of Sonar to your desktop, and it will create a midi file of that selected data - just like that.  Poof - Ta Da.  (I got married like that once - still don't know what hit me).
 
Then, if you wanted to import that midi data back into your new project, just insert your track template first, then click on the desired midi track and click on File>Import>Midi and navigate to wherever your saved midi file lives and double click on it to bring it in.
 
I hope any of that helps,

There are several ways to transfer tracks:

• Drag and drop from one open project to another.
• Copy and paste from one open project to another.
• Copy from a project, close the project, open the other project, paste.
• Export a file and import it.
• Drag the file into the media browser, then drag it back out into the other project (this is a very powerful feature)

• Open the other project's audio folder in the media browser and drag the wav into the new project.

Thanks, everyone, for your help!   I really appreciate it!
As far as just copying a track, closing the project, and then pasting the track in another project, I tired that a couple of times.   It does not work.
 
Thanks again!
