The only thing available to me in my SPLAT is audio, all the other export stuff is greyed out. ??

OMF is not in export audio dialog, you will find it as an option in the file menu. You need to make sure your new DAW can import OMF though. Studio One can not, but most can.

I wrote a long article on transferring files in The Second Big Book of SONAR Tips. This was supplementary material that wasn't in the original "Friday's Tip of the Week" thread. There are several fine points about transferring projects, in particular, what happens with mono vs. stereo files, BWF time-stamping, and what does, or does not, render a track when transferred. 
 
Also don't forget that in many cases, you can open up a second host program and simply drag and drop clips between Sonar and the other host. Again, various caveats apply.

I had a mad idea, and I tried and it worked (it could be a bit risky, after all, but maybe not...).
 
I am trying to have some of my sonar recording available in cubase too, and, as many people noticed, there are different ways and different options but we are using a lot of hard disk space too (since basically the "audio" folder becomes duplicated, ok...?)
 
In this scenario I have a multitrack recording of a gig that I recorded many years ago, and in sonar I have my CWP file with the Audio folder containing all the audio in WAV format .... (24 gigs in 19 wav audio tracks).
 
So I created a cubase project in the SAME folder that points to the SAME audio folder and VOILA'.... (just import into cubase the same wav files of the gig).
 
Now I got both sonar and cubase file pointing to the same audio (not duplicated) and it seems to work.
 
All the mixing work done either in sonar or cubase will be stored inside the cwp or cpr file but both DAW are pointing to the same WAV files .... not bad!!!
 
Funny thing... isn't it?

Brilliant! I have Cubase as my "second" DAW and had no problem transfering over a project that contained live drums and guitar. I had used drum replacer and there was 2 keyboard midi tracks as well. So it was 12 audio tracks and 5 midi tracks. 
 
I saved the the Sonar project as a MID-1 file and opened it in Cubase. Always OPEN mid files seems standard in all DAWs to preserve tempo info etc.  I then draged the audio tracks to Cubase. I'm actaully not sure if Cubase created a new audio folder but will now go and look. 
The cool thing was AD2 and Dim Pro all work in Cubase. Only major bummer was Pro Channel and sorting out new compressors and what not. But there's no issue with basic live recordings for sure.
 
I think the people who will have issues are those that create crazy complicated projects. I would advise you to hurry up and finish them and don't complain if the day comes when you can no longer re create what you had in a different DAW.
