Saving Sonar Project

Hi 
I'm new working with Sonar but not new working with any other DAW (Protools) and I have a client that want me to finish a project that he have in Sonar. So here is the question, when you guys recorded in Sonar and save the session does Sonar create an audio folder with all the audio files (WAV) on it or not? Or only saved the project as a Sonar project and that it's? So if that is the case here is another question, where all the audio files go? 

Thanks

Sonar creates an audio file folder for each project. That happens when the user creates a folder for a project and saves the project/song in that folder. 


If the user did not create a specific folder for the project/song, then sonar creates an Audio folder in the directory that he used to save the project.


Most people use this type of format to store their songs:


D:\Sonar Projects\Song Name\


In that example, Sonar will automatically create a folder and name it "Audio" -  and store all audio data there... So if you were to open that directory you would see something like this example:

If it is a CWB file (as opposed to CWP) then the audio should be in that file. The B stands for bundle. i.e. project plus audio.

I assume the only way to get at the audio is via Sonar though. You could then export tracks/stems for use in PT.

No, I dont have anything like that.
The problem that I have is that my niece only have the Sonar .CWB project file, no other files were given to her by the other engineer.
But I just started playing with all the save features and I found the way to save the files again and create a folder with the audio files on it.
This is what I did:
1- Checked "Create one file per clip 
2- Unchecked the "copy all audio with project"
3- Save as type "Cakewalk Bundle"

and then Sonar created a new audio folder with all the .WAV files on it 

Now I just uploaded all the new WAV files to Samplitude just to double check and they work perfect. So I can use them with other DAW and I'm not tie with Sonar. I dont have anything against Sonar, but I never use it before so I'm a newbie and I prefer to work with the DAW that I now like Protools and Samplitude.

CJ is telling you good stuff here. I stay away from bundles - I've used them without problems, but others here has reported problems from time to time.
