Ah, import them into a brand new song with no tracks added. Excellent. I tried adding all of the blank audio tracks, selecting track one, and then importing, however it just placed them all into track 1....doh...

The same process can work for already created tracks when you select the track number for the first file to go to. The files will import in the order listed by the folder i.e. Name, Date Modified, Size. To get all the files to line up with the templates already in the project you may need to name them appropriately so they are order in the same way as the project when viewing them in the folder.

Thank for the input Lance. I could of sworn that I tried this last night and it put them all into the selected track number (all on track one, not onto track one, two, three...)

Huwhaaaa...? I'll have to poke around at this. Sounds very useful but I don't quite understand it without trying it out. Thanks.

Thanks Lance!
 
I just discovered this in X3. I'm importing waves for a mixing project and thought I would give it a try. Sure enough, if I have the waves in the order I want them imported, I just use drag and drop. If I place the cursor over the starting point of the first track, Sonar puts them all in their proper tracks. Most excellent!! I just did this with 12 bg vox tracks.
 
I may not use this feature to import all waves at once, but it will certainly work to speed up the process of importing large numbers of tracks. This current mixing project has 66 tracks, so this feature will come in very handy!
 
Thank again!

I just highlight them all in the media window of the browser and rt click... insert at now time (be sure to put the now time at the 0 point... that's how I dump the recorded tracks from my Zoom recorder... and since I setup the tracks the same way, I use a template with all instruments eq'd and fx'd before import.
