Need advice on this one:
 
For some reason I can't import a certain WAV file. I downloaded from Drum Tracks's website. I also downloaded others from Drum Tracks and they imported perfectly. If fact I have never had a problem importing ANYTHING until now.

• I shut down Sonar and played it on my Windows Media Player and iTunes player and the WAV plays perfectly.
• Any other damn WAV file imports perfectly in to Sonar.
• No sign of any file corruption.
• When I select the WAV file to import, and press the "Open" icon, it "looks" like it will import (the blue task bar moves from left to right.) When done, the track is blank and I "see" nothing.

Any ideas?? You thoughts/help would be appreciated!!
 
Thank you!

This is rather obvious, but has to be asked: Have you checked the imported clip is not further down the project? Is there a dotted line to be seen on the track?

Yes, I DID see the dotted line.
 
Hold on... let me import again and check further down the project...

Ha ha! You are CORRECT Kalle!!
 
It WAS waaaaaaayyy down the project! Why does it do that? I have NEVER had that happen to me before.
 
THANK YOU Kalle!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU Kalle!!!!!!!!!

One thing to take a look at is Options>Global>Audio Data tab and see if Always Import Broadcast Waves At Their Timestamp is checked. If so, unckeck it and try importing the wave file again to see if that had any effect.

nice catch kalle

That's it!!
 
I unchecked that box and it worked!!
 
Thank you Chappel!

This worked for me when bringing in some wav files recorded in protools. Nice one thanks

This thread solved my problem too! I was having the same issue, and that WAV file was wayyyyyyyyyyy down the timeline.

However, I'm not sure where to find Options>Global>Audio Data Thanks,

I'm not sure where to find Options>Global>Audio Data

It's just shorthand.  From the "Options" menu choose "Global", which launches a dialog box with several tabs.  Click on the "Audio Data" tab.
