I have a trumpet wave file I want to transpose up a step. I am using Sonar X2 Producer. When i transpose up nothing happens. I select Process>Transpose>check Transpose Audio, select MPEX Solo Instrument, select +1 (up a half step) and hit OK. Wheels spin and the wave is still at the same pitch level. What am I doing wrong?
 
Flustered,
Bill

Have you tried using Melodyne? Even V-Vocal could handle a solo trumpet line quite well I'd have thought

No, haven't tried melodyne. I would have thought the transposition on process would have worked. I'll give it a try. But I know I have used wave transposition before in X1 Studio! Hmm
 

This may be too obvious, but did you select the clip first (you don't mention selecting it)?

This is a problem that I've come up with more than once. Sometimes it would transpose, sometimes it wouldn't. Never did understand why? I would end up doing it in Sound Forge. Can't say that I've tried it in X3 yet.

Yes, I selected the wave, but thanks for pointing that out. Sometimes you can't see a forest for all the trees in the way...
 
I can do it outside of SONAR X2, but it should happen inside. I have done it before in Sonar X1 Studio, so I know I can do it and that Sonar can do it. I can't believe it is a "DISK TOO FULL" problem for I am using a 1 terabyte drive that has only about 1/6th of the space used.
 
Thanks guys for the suggestions.

Hi, wrayer,
I'm not in my own computer now but I'm wondering if you have to, first, transform the wave in a groove clip...

I would use Process > Time/Pitch Stretch 2
 

I must ask if a 'bounce to clip' was done first. This should clear the clipboard and *reset* or whatever else that action performs.
Secondly, this action makes an 'undo' function to be created. This means the original file settings is kept.
It could be that the new file is not being properly purposed and Sonar is playing the original. Just that, such an action might or should generate an error code to be displayed.
 
Just for the heck of it; how about transposing 12 steps (a full octave) and hear what happens.

Good ideas, I will try.
