System configuration
Improving audio performance
verify the settings you made in the Preferences dialog box, and click the Wave Profiler button
again. When you can successfully run the Wave Profiler without an audio driver error, proceed to
the next step.
5. Create a new project (File > New command). The Normal option is fine for this.
6. Import the mixed down audio by using the File > Import Audio command.
7. Confirm the bit depth and sample rate of the imported audio by using the File > Info command,
and clicking File Stats. The File Stats dialog box lists the correct sample rate and bit depth.
8. Final step: use the File > Export > Audio command. Be sure to select 16 for the Bit Depth and
uncheck all Mix Enables.
Now you can burn your exported audio file to CD, using Pyro Audio Creator, or other software.
SONAR project file compatibility notes
Cakewalk Bundle (.cwb) files containing double precision 64-bit floating point files will not open in
SONAR 5 or earlier versions.
Project files saved in SONAR X3 will not open in SONAR 4 if they reference or include any of the
following types of data or information:
• 32 bit audio clips.
• Audio clips that are not all of the same bit depth.
SONAR X3 project files may contain new features that will be missing if opened in SONAR 4,
including:
• Clip effects and clip automation:
• Effects are removed.
• Automation envelopes are orphaned.
•Groups:
• SONAR X3 groups are preserved but will not be completely functional in SONAR 4.
• Controls may be removed from groups.
• Groups can’t be added to or changed.
• Group names will be truncated.
• SONAR 4 may add extra groups to the project.
Re-saving a SONAR X3 project file in SONAR 4 may permanently remove the project data
described above.
