copying tracks to CD

[Gary Davis]

I'm new to Sonar. I have sonar on two computers at two locations I wanted to know if there is a way to copy in track form to CD so I can load the tracks on my other computer. Can anyone help me out

Of course you can, it's all data...

A few caveats -- if you are using, say, a SB Live with certain Sound Fonts on computer A for MIDI tracks, you would need a comparable card and Sound Fonts on computer B to get the same results.

Ditto if you are playing MIDI tracks from a softsynth -- the same softsynth needs to be available on both platforms.

Finally, it's pretty easy for a single project with many audio tracks to exceed the size limits of a CD. You can use the file management features in the newest versions of SONAR, if that's what you're using, and copy the project directory contents to two or more CDs, then reassemble it all on the other machine's hard drive.

Otherwise, just save the file as a CWB (Cakewalk bundle) and you don't even have to think about it.

Or if you use the lovely Folder-Per-Project option(check the manual), just burn the directory containing your project.

I did suggest that, moskus, but maybe not very clearly... thanks for clarifying...

Doh! I just didn't think when you said "Sonar's file management system"...
