Problem exporting audio

Now I also realized that bouncing to clip (mark a single track and bounce to clip) takes about the same time....What is wrong? It should go in some seconds.....
Very very annoying things that makes it kind of impossible to really work.
 
 

I haven´t done any AudioSnap by my own will but obviously there seems to be some anyway cause when I tried to save the project as a bundle (to be able to open it in my old Sonar 3 so I could do the job) Sonar didn´t aloud that process cause it was AudioSnap in it. Thanks for that....so then I tried to bounce to clip on every track but that takes as long as exporting it....10-15 minutes for a 3 minutes track that has NO clip, no Plugins (except for a Pro channel eq and one Sonitus comp on the masterbus). Took me about 20 sek in the old Sonar 3, even with plugins and a lot of clips on the track.
I guess it isn´t supposed to be like that or? How long time do you need with sonar x3 for similar stuff?
 

Hey Tyko! Pretty amazing that you've been able to get buy with the old version for so long! You got your money's worth out of that one!
 
For me, Fast Bounce is more than 10 times faster than real time in most cases. The number of FX on your track impacts the speed of the bounce, so try hitting the E key to bypass all FX in your mix and try the bounce again. Does it go faster? If so, then the number of FX or the bit depth and sample rates of your tracks may be creating a lot of work through the FX causing increased bounce time. You aren't recording at 24 bit 192 by any chance? For most music it is sufficient to record at 24 bit 44.1 or 48, especially if you are having trouble with bounce to tracks durations.
 
Best, G

Thanks for all your answears! I am very thankful for your help and I am extremely happy right now that my problem seems to be solved! At least it is now exporting the audifiles very fast (about 5 seconds....) and I can get that CD burned as a Christmas gift before Christmas! Thanks again for your help!
 
I am still slightly confused though. All I done was to follow the steps from John T here above to be sure the Audio Snap was really turned of. After I done that it just was fast as a lightning.....but what confuse me is that if such a simple project as the one I am doing right now ( No FX on the tracks and just the Pro channel Eq and one Sonitus comp on the masterbus, that´s all....and from beginning it all was one stereotrack that I splited up and cut out and paste in so each song from the live concert has it´s own track - can´t be much simplier) can´t handle the exporting Audio when you have used the Audio Snap function how should it be possible to use that function at all? I didn´t wish to use the Audio Snap function - it was automatically turned on - but I think it could be useful sometimes. 
 
My system is set to 44100 sampling rate and 64 bit double precision engine as audio driver bit depth.
 
Yes, I try to get the value out of Sonar 3 really good .....have had no problem with it and I love to know what is going on in a program and to learn that it takes some practice so I feel home in version 3 although there was/is even yet stuff to learn from that program. So reason why I upgraded was mostly that I though I wanted something with more power and hopefully slightly increased sound quality. I had already upgraded the rest of the gear so it was about right time I guess. If I get x3 to work as I like it to work I sure can stay with that for long time. I don´t care much about to have the newes stuff, I care more about the music and workflow.
There is things that still bother me in x3 but it seems like I slowly finding my way around them. I have the feeling that the sound actually is better (theoretically it should I guess) and that is most important for me.
 
Also another fast question by the way, if I have a volumeautomation on a track, is thera a way to rise the volume on the whole track with the faders in the conxole (mix) wiev without just turnin the Gain volume knob? Like pressing a key at the same time or something?

Tyko,
There are a couple of ways to do this. You can use ctrl+a to SELECT ALL, then click on the track you want to adjust in track view to narrow the selection to only that track, then shift click a node in the volume envelope, (hold shift to move on one axis only - horizontal or vertical) and then move the nodes up. If any nodes hit the maximum level, they will stay there while other nodes continue to come up. Actually, this is a method you can use to level the peak volumes you set if you wish. Once you release, any notes pressed against the upper or lower bounds will fix to their new relative positions to the other nodes.
 
Another alternative is to use Off-Set mode. Lots of people use this to good effect. I'm pretty cautious with Off-Set mode myself because if you don't understand it, you can mess up your mix pretty quickly.

Do you make guitars? I searched for you on the internet and found a German Facebook entry of a guitar maker of the same name. Your guitars look amazing if that is indeed you.
 
My very best and happy holidays!

Very cool! Beautiful instruments!
 
I think off-set mode is what you're looking for.
