Importing music and sound
While recording is perhaps the most common way of adding material to a SONAR project, there are
several other methods you can also use. SONAR lets you import music into a project from several
different types of digital data files, including MIDI files; audio files in Wave, MP3, AIFF, and other
formats; audio CD tracks and other SONAR project files.

Importing audio files
SONAR lets you insert digital audio information into any track of a project. If the audio file you are
importing is in stereo, then it can be imported into a single stereo track, a pair of mono tracks or a
single mono track.
The File > Import > Audio command supports the following digital audio file types:
• Wave (extension .wav)
• MPEG (extensions .mpeg, .mpg, .mp2, and .mp3)
• Apple AIFF (extensions .aif and .aiff)
• Active Streaming (extension .asf)
• Next/Sun (extensions .au and .snd)
• REX (extensions .rex, .rx2, and .rcy)
• Sony Wave64 (extension .w64)
• FLAC (extension .flac)
