transferring data to mac from pc and back again

hey all,

I just bought an iMac and I plan to transfer my content from PC to the iMac.  Do the files containing synth tracks (and audio, for that matter) "work" on the iMac  -  do I have to do anything to the files to make them work?  (I know I need an iMac version of x1)

Thanks,
Eric

    SONAR does not run on Mac OS. It onlly work in Windows.
    SONAR projectt files won't run on a MAC either.
    You will have to convert audio .wav files to whatever will run on a Mac if that's even possible.

    unless of course you're talking about running Windows in Parallels or something then of course you can run SONAR within windows.

    They're called AIFF files on mac.
    To the OP,if I were you I would look into Bootcamp,and run Sonar in W7,and not have to change audio files etc.
