need to convert sonar project to protools DAW

Hi Billshow ,

I have to do this sonar>pro tools drill all the time , as I write /demo songs in sonar , send them to my drummer who works in cubase , and then finally on to the actual album session in protools .

As the others in this thread  described , I do the export tracks function - sometimes as stems , or sometimes as individual tracks  depending on the situation. The important thing is to have the the selection of what you want to export  = across the whole shebang of the timeline - all the way from the dead start to the end of the song ; so that all files render "from zero"   .  Its foolproof that way.
Also ,
save your project as a type 0 midi file . You only need one midi track with even the simplest of midi info . This will save ALL your grid - every last meter /time signature , tempo changes , markers , etc etc etc . Then import this midi track into pro tools/cubase/ whatever DAW  - FIRST , before anything else. This will establish your familiar grid - tempo map , time signatures , bar lines ,even your markers .  THEN import all your audio tracks and VOILA !
you will be looking at your project - perfectly locked on the grid in Pro Tools.
If you do this right - and dont let anybody screw up your midi-grid , you can keep the same project grid from the start of a songs life until final stages of completion - wherever your song may journey to the ends of the earth.

I learned this because I was tired of never being able to keep or recapture those once in-a-liftime random moments from the early stages of the song demos - where one just throws up a mic and goes for it while the idea is fresh . Now, I can keep all the irreplaceable inspirational moments of my song - safely in one project all the way till its mix time , no matter how many DAW's it has to travel to. I even keep original scratch tracks sometimes - you never know when those might prove useful -  hard drive space is dirt cheap these days.

Interestingly enough , I always liberally put markers EVERYWHERE through my songs in Sonar - verses, choruses ,bridges , breaks, guitar leads , vox landmarks ,time changes , etc etc - and it is silly fun to then see them on our Producer- Neil kernon's s   Pro Tools screen.

Hope that helps somewhat , Cheers !
