Do you mean where it's stored on the hard drive?

If you use the "Per Project Folder" setting and use CWP's not bundles, all the audio will be in the "AUDIO" subfolder where the project is saved.
And, you can get the clip "properties" via the Inspector in X1 or right clicking to get to properties of a clip in previous versions.

Why do you ask Elijahlucian, do you need copies of them? If so the export dialogue is the best place to go, you can export them all in one go individually from there if need be.

Hi Guys, soon I will be doing something related to the OP's original question, which is I would like to move my Sonar Projects from one computer to another(from a Windows vista PC to an IMAC running Parallel Desktop with Windows 7 and Sonar X1 installed), should I just use the drop box feature in the Mack to transfer the Project files over to my new machine? I have a Network Drive mapped out and ready to go... also the original Sonar projects are 32 bit, but will be added to Sonar running in 64 bit on Windows 7...will they work? thanks for any feedback, it will be greatly appreciated! I apologize for hike jacking this post!

How about bundling them in a bundle file for moving them?
There's no problem with using 32 bit projects in x64 Sonar, I do it all the time.

Just save the project to a different folder. Then you can move it around as you please. Hopefully, one day they will make Sonar so that projects can be versioned so you only need to change the files that have been changed instead of dealing with entire projects.

Elijah - did you ever get an (easy) answer to this? I have exactly the same issue. In other Daws you can simply right-click (or similar) on the clip and it lets you know the original/current location the clip came from on the hard-drive. I find it the biggest drawback to Sonar X1 - and what should be an easy fix???

That's how you do it in X1 too. - Select clip(s)
- Right click
- Select "Associated Audio Files"
- File name, location path, bit depth etc are then displayed.
As I said in an earlier post though, there are easier ways of moving clips from project to project, if transportation is your goal.

not illogical at all.
If you create a new track and give it a name then the audio file associated with that track will have the track name.
If you dont name the track then SONAR provides a default name for the track and appends info to distinguish any new clips added to or generated by splitting or otherwise editing clips which might then be bounced down.
An audio file created in SONAR might have lots of editing which wont change the underlying audio file unless you bounce down at which time edits and fx are rendered to a new audio file, keeping the old one intact. SONAR doesn't discard any audio data. Otherwise the SONAR project file keeps all the editing information and the these are applied on the fly in real time when being played back.
When it comes to audio clips however SONAR lets you name them but it wont change the underlying file name which SONAR always controls.
Just a very quick tour of SONAR audio. I'm sure others will chime in with more detail and/or clarify/correct these comments.
So if you want to really keep on top of what SONAR is doing then its a good practice to name your track as you create it.
Another option is to not worry about it and set "Use Per Project Audio Folders" and let SONAR do all the house work. If ever you need a specific clip and or track instead of wasting time looking for it just bounce it down to a new track, then click and drag it to the desktop where you'll have a neat audio.wav file or export it if giving it a particular name is important or if you have a whole bunch to do at once.

All great answers - Projects should be stored in their own folders. Sonar even does this for you when you create a new project like mentioned above.
If you are looking for information about your audio files then you can also use the menu option: Project --> Audio Files...
For some of the other comments around transferring to a different computer. If possible I would use an external hard drive - or - pull out the audio drive and temporarily install in the new computer copy the files. Or - - I would network the two computers. Unless you're only taking about a few projects then I would use DVR or a Thumb Drive.
