I don't see anything added to the clip names except the numbers. To remove (or change) these in a 2nd step isn't too much to ask, is it?

We've asked for these things for years - easy to ask obviously not so easy to do or maybe it just never gets high enough on the priority list if there is one

Thanks for the replies everyone. I didn't mean to start a debate on this topic, I just wanted to know if this was included in Sonar X1 and the answer was no. It's not really a big deal for me, it just would be nice if it was included. Sonar 6 PE works for me so no need for a upgrade.

When I do it in Sonar 8.5 I get 'project name/clip name/number' as part of the exported file. And even if there was just the number, as per your example, would you be happy to have to edit about 50 wav files to delete a number from each ? Too much too ask? Most definitely.

A debate is good. It will highlight these features, and perhaps more people will add their voice of support for their inclusion in future Sonar versions.

My guess is that it is not a priority. The actual implementation...I can't believe that coding a few options in the export dialog would be more difficult than the myriad of processing options that Sonar has already. If Cakewalk programmers can code audio groove quantisation, if they can rewrite the audio engine like they did for Sonar 8, than they surely can program a few export options. Surely. No? :D

Can be done in 1 (one) easy step with a renaming tool, no matter how many files. If this is too much work for you... what can I say?

The numbers are encased in brackets, so no, not one step but several, as the brackets need to be taken into account too. However, it's moot point, since as I said, the drag and drop creates a more complex name. At the end of a working day, I don't want to faff around with different programs to perform various tasks, which my DAW could do much quicker.

I could twist this, to follow your logic, and say, why have any naming of exported files at all? Sonar could just add a number to the exported file, and ask you to use a separate naming utility tool to name your wav files properly!
I don't think users would be happy, do you?

I agree that there ought to be all sorts of things that we should be able to do but I try to focus on what I can. And keep feature discussion seperate to a thread that was started witha question can you do such and such in SONAR?

As I have outlined in my first post, I actually do focus on what I can do, and have developed my own 'quick' method to do what I need. Look it up. The thread might have been started with a question, but since it is a discussion forum it is perfectly valid to outline various possible features.

The dragging out of the Sonar's window option would be fine for my usage, but what "export settings" Sonar uses then? When I compare file properties of one clip exported through my File/Export Audio menu and one through dragging option the bitrate is different (lower through the dragging). Does anyone know where can I set this up to my liking? As for naming and numbering, I don't care that much as far as Kontakt maps the samples correctly to keygroups, which should be the case since I am sampling every note. So I started on C1 and I will drag the samples to C1 in Kontakt and should be fine as I am concerned. Will see, now I am in the sampling phase.
