Experimenting with options for a forced march to a new DAW (still have not decided which).
 
I tried exporting a recent project to OMF. Sonar Producer flashes lights and the disk spins for a while, and it looks as if it finishes nominally. But no output files ate produced. I did a PC-wide search for *.OMF and aside from placeholder shortcuts that Microsoft creates, there are no OMF files.
 
Anyone else having such a problem, of know why this is failing so completely?

I've had one success and two failures with OMF exports. It may or may not be significant that the successful one was a smaller project than the other two. And it may or may not be significant that this project did not contain any Aux tracks whereas the other two did.

I tried exporting 11 songs from a recent album project. 100% fail rate.

There are a lot of good threads about migrating to other DAW's in the software forum. Go and read them. Mostly you need to just stick with creating audio stems and saveing your project as a midi file if midi was involved.
 
I easily opened a fairly simple project in Cubase by saving as a MIDI 1 file. OPEN that in Cubase and drag and drop all the audio from my projects audio folder into Cubase audio tracks.. I also did this with Mixbus4. 
The audio tracks need to be complete end to end and start at zero. 
Most other DAW's can use a lot of your plug ins. You loose automation etc but that's the price you pay for switching.
 
My advise is to finish what you started in Sonar and save everything as midi and audio files for future use. 

For one DAW there will be better option then OMF. If you are not in a hurry and you have not decided which DAW you are going to use, just wait 1-2 weeks more.

The MIDI file export mentioned above is also useful for tempo map information. Be sure to save audio tracks as broadcast wavs so they import in the correct position on the timeline.

100% failure rate here as well. 

Mmmm. I had different (and positive) results exporting to OMF.
 
Basically the first step I did is to "prepare" the file before exporting, and bouncing some clips.... (and deleting unnecessary tracks...).
 
I used succesfuly this way to get a Sonar project to Cubase (exporting midi as well)....

azslow is writing a program to read CWP files and translate them to Reaper projects.
