SOLVED Former Logic Pro User Question: Are Caf Files Supported In Sonar x1 ?

I downloaded this for $20: http://www.wav-mp3.com/mp3/caf-to-mp3.htm Problem solved :)


Hello to all,

Due to a recent macpro motherboard meltdown, I've built myself a pc, switched over to windows7 64bit and have been using Cubase 6 as my main program for the last three months, leaving logic pro behind. One thing I miss about Logic is the included sound library which are caf files. I recently received a promo email for a Sonar X1 Producer upgrade for $79 which said it was compatible with caf files so I bit and bought it. However, I'm unable to load or import any of the files. Am I missing something or is this a known issue? I've been messing around with Sonar in my spare time cause it reminds me of logic and I like all the drag and drop stuff going on. I can see myself working with the program on some projects especially if I could use my sound library. So the question is: Is Sonar X1 Producer compatible with caf files and if so, how do I get them to open.

Thanks,

the caf format does seem to be listed as a supported file type for both import and export options.

i dont have any .caf files, but was just able to export one and then reimport it. Sonar would not let me drag the .caf from my desktop into a session however, had to use File > Import > Audio

So, what happened when you imported the cal file?

cal is not an audio file. It is a scripting language. Used to manipulate the program.

Importing/exporting makes little sense since the files are programs that RUN for a limited amount of time, mostly inserting and changing midi data.

CAF not cal.

Thanks for replying perfectprint,

Did you convert a wave file to .caf and then reimport it? I haven't tried that yet but will to see if it works on my system. How responsive is cakewalk phone tech support? Looks like I'll have to give them a call.

Thanks again,

Very good point Rain. I wonder if they can be opened in some other DAW besides Logic of course. What the OP might try is creating a caf file in X1 and then importing it.

Hhhmmm.....I am still looking for the issue. Cake support doesn't even know what a CAF file is.
