Sonar 3 routing audio files...Help!!

[moohead]

I have a 5400 rpm C drive and a 7200 rpm external firewire F drive. I want Sonar 3 to automatically route my audio to the F drive. How do I do this???? Thanks.

Change your AUDIO DATA folder. The option is somewhere in OPTIONS-GLOBAL-LOCATIONS or something like that. Just point it to the drive you want to use.

This info is also in the manual.

Goto Options|Global then select "Audio Data" tab. You can point it at the new drive by clicking the button next to the field or type it in by hand.

Make sure you have this drive connected and on any time you run Sonar or you'll have to point it there each time.

Good luck.

I found it on page 568!!!!

Wave files are now directed to my F drive. Thanks to all!!!

Thanks for the information from me too. It made me look throughthis problem , and what I want is to save everything for a certain project in the same folder. Makes it easier to back up the project (yes, I know about bundles). Apparently you can do this by checking "per project" in the same place where you choose audio folder. Then whenever starting a new project you just have to decide where to put things.

However, it's difficult to put things in my personal folders because of the long path names resulting. C:\New Song is much easier.

Every newbie should repeat this sentence over and over till they remember it:

"Bundles suck for backup. Use Folder-Per-Project."

I seriously mean that. You woudln't know how many have asked questions here like: "Sonar tells me that it can't read my bundle. What is wrong?".

Wow Moskus. I didn't know this. You skip CWB's and just copy the raw data? I only did that when the bun wouldn't save at all (pressumably due to being too large).

Bingo! Just use the Folder Per Project and burn the folder to CD. It can't go wrong!

This of it this way... what would you prefer?

a) Having to rename the cwb file to wav then manually align each track again (corrupt cwb file)

b) Having each track separately and then having to align them (corrupt wrk file)

c) Just having to record one track if it get's corrupt (corrupt wav file)

From what I've seen here, a) is the most likely culprit! Even the guy who wrote Sonar Power is going to change his 'personal preference' from Bundle files to Per-folder projects in his next book, all because of us (Moskus and myself)!
