SONAR 6 EXPORT OMF ERROR and CWB ERROR

Your CWB fuile may be greater than 2gigs. Im assuming that you want to transfer a project to PT or another sequencer since your tryingf to also export to OMF. If thats not the case, then use per project folders and CWP files.

Theres also a tweak you can do in the aud.ini file ... Raise the BounceBuffSizeMsec to 25 to 50

Yeah, i think it MAY be over 2 gigs (i exported it last time and it was like 1.8 gigs). So what if it is, is there any way to save as OMF or CWB?

CWB cannot be over 2gigs, Use CWP and per project folders. Thats the best way to save projects anyways. you didnt answer why you want to save as OMF or CWB,??? Are you transporting the project tp pro tools or emailing the project as a CWB???? If not use CWP

Also, what would increasing that Bounce buffer size do?

It might fix this

i get something like "cannot export, audio drive may be full",

You could probably use the option that doesn't embed the audio and that would work.
But .. not all systems can read those. Be sure to send the OMF *and* and sub-directory
it makes with all the audio files.

Last I checked, Digitranslator didn't like the non-embedded OMF files.

If you have any audio snap clips in the file you can't use bundles. Its a limitation of the bundle file because of the comression it employs.

Well, lets say it is over 2GB (cuz thats the only one of the criteria i probally meet, i dont use audiosnap and i have a couple hundred gigs left on my hard drive), then what can i do?

Thank you for the help mudgel, but i wanna clarify: so youre saying theres no way to export/save as OMF or CWB if its over 2 gigs?

Well, thanks again to everyone that has helped me out on this one. I wanna state my current update. My song, if exported correctly, would only be a little over 2 gigs, obviously rendering it unexportable. So of course, like mudgel has said, i can use per project file transfer, and THANK THE HEAVENS ive been recording with per project files this whole time or else ida been skrewed. But theres another problem with this solution. Lemme first say that, in the past, when ive used the clean audio folder, it has erased files that were actully needed in my songs, so i have NEVER used it since (plus, no soundcard ive had so far will let me hear the wave files before i delete them, so ive done "delete all" in the clean audio folder option). So, taking that into account, i now want to state the problem: my song is actually over NINE GIGABYTES, which is obviously including all the wave files that are undeletable. As we all know, 9 gigs cant fit on anything but a blu ray or hd dvd, and i dont have $1,000 to blow on a new burner, so im officially at a loss...

I don't trust "clean audio folder" either. It worked for me the one time I tried it (after backing up the entire project) but I've heard too many horror stories of lost audio, so I don't use it.

To get around your 9 GB problem, "save as" the project to a different folder and select "copy all audio with project" and "create one file per clip". Sonar will copy the .cwp file and only data that's currently referenced in your project. Wasted takes won't get copied.

Then, as suggested by other posters, transfer the project file along with its audio folder. If you compress it with Winrar, you can trim the file size down to about half. I don't think a ~1 GB file is unreasonably large to transfer via FTP.
