I need to export a Quad Channel track for a live setting. Two tracks have the actual backing track, the other two have a click track. So I have tried so many things and nothing seems to work the way I want it to. I don't see the wave RIFF setting, I tried AIFF and it increase the volume exponentially loud, and that is all I think I can try for multi-channel exporting. I just have no clue what to do. I tried this and dont know if there are any other options in Sonar for this type of stuff. What should I do?

The way I would do it is to export it 4 times, each time selecting the required track(s).  I'm not aware of a one time export process that will do multi-channel.

You can select file type to export to, but there is not additional parameters on the selected file type, beside what's already on the export menu (I may be wrong.. but I only export to wave files).

I maybe confusing things but,Iv'e exported whole mixes to a stereo .wav,without turning the soft synths to Audio or anything,I just choose export,and do it.

Sometimes, I get the "There is no Audio" to export,but if I save/re-open ,I can then export,a whole mix of a song,without any bounces,but I automate the master track volume,thats all.

I'm sure this is not the so called "correct way",but its working so far,again "my method" may have nothing to do with the topic......but it might,lol.

In case you have not found a satisfying answer...

Sonar (any version) supports multichannel WAV export. The Surround Sound Option defines the amount of channels.


I needed a 4-channel WAV file for Roland Edirol R-44 to play backtrack and click. Instead of recording audio and click with the R-44 from Sonar I wanted to export the file directly.
I inserted a surround bus and in the project options I chose QUAD. Now assigning two stereo tracks or four mono tracks (or any other combination) to the surround bus is all it takes.
Chose mutichannel and WAV (the 1st) in the Export Dialog.  Exporting multichannel WAV creates a 4-channel wav file.
