I love how this question comes up at least 3 times a month :-)

Would be nice if there was a "Fifty Most Asked Questions" sticky that people could browse before asking again. The forum search feature is wonky at best.
 

many suggestions for stickies have gone unactioned, stickies seem to be up to the marketing dudes to decide :-/
goodness knows we have enough already with 10 - but should they (all) (still) be stickies?

It might be worth someone posting a feature request to have a dialog box pop up during the Insert Audio function = I am thinking maybe it could offer a check box for importing at Broadcast Wave Time Stamp or to ignore and paste at Now Marker, with an added way to tell it to not ask again, if desired.
 
OR - maybe build in one more menu option choice for importing audio to have it as an option there to ignore Broadcast Wave Time Stamp.
 
Anyways - something along those lines perhaps?
 
OR - even just maybe a paragraph about it in the Read Me file.  It's pretty much just a matter of folks new to importing audio into Sonar being informed about it in some fashion one time, so whatever way could be fashioned to present that info to folks the first time they try to import audio would likely suffice.

changing the default would be a lot simpler! those users expecting broadcast wavs would know already that there's a timestamp variable...

Almost any stem exported out of ProTools seems to be a broadcast wave file unless whoever is exporting it takes special precautions.  And to make matters worse, ProTools starts its timeline at 1:00:00.000 instead of 0:00:00.000.

+1, I had a friend sent me a mix to master and I just said "This was mixed with ProTools." When he asked how I knew that I told him because it imported at the 1hr mark!

I leave import broadcast wavs to timestamp on to line up stems, but a ProTools imports always makes me reconsider for a moment.

Broadcast wavs are the way to go when working between DAWs though. They are very useful for this. Just be aware that clips imported out of view will have leading dots in the track to let you know "scroll right."

yeah maybe they should change the default setting?

Pwalpwal seems to have the simplest and best solution right here! Problem solved:) 
 
Big fan of Occam's Razor.
