They doesn't seem to be powerfull sound editor. All hail SONAR for multitrackin etc, but for specific sound editing, you'll want more plugins than it offered (TW). Some from Sonic Foundry are worth to try. OR better yet, I always combined SONAR with Cool Edit Pro 2. It has a fantastic feature for Sound editing. Very good doing many hard task such like noise eliminating (Pop, Hiss, Hum, Crackle, etc...).

Seems like a great idea.

May I ask how you determine which .wav file is related to which "track" in the song? I have viewed the .wav files in Windows Explorer and the naming conventions are not exactly "friendly.

Also, when I find the .wav file and edit it within Cool Edit Pro, will saving it back to the same location and same filename allow it to be automatically be "found" again within Sonar?

Thanks for the help James.

Actually you don't need to.

Most Wave Editors (Wavelab, Sound Forge, Cool Edit, etc.) once installed will appear on Sonar's Tool Menu. When you want to edit a track or a clip, you just highlight the clip and go to the tools menu and choose your editor. It will open the editor with the clip already loaded.

Make your edits and save and close the editor. When you return to Sonar it will give you a message saying the clip has been edited and do you want to load the new clip. Just say yes (in beligerant defiance to Nancy Regan ).

Just say yes (in beligerant defiance to Nancy Regan ).

Another great piece of advise from Dachay. You rock.

Thanks. Think I am going to find some other things to say "yes" to.

Yo, BibleMan, it's true what Dachay said. If you install some wave editor, it actually put some lines in your Windows registry, and it tells SONAR to add the shortcut in the Tools Menu. Here you can do what Dachay suggest you. Highlight the clip, pull down the Tools menu, select the wave editor listed there, and you'll be brought to the wave editor in no time... Once you finish edit your sound, save it and exit the wave editor. It'll bring you back to SONAR, and SONAR will ask you whether you'll replace the old one with new (edited) wave block. Here's Nancy Reagan Yess...

BTW, Sometimes, in many case I found, Cool Edit Pro somehow not appeared in Tools Menu after you install it. Here you're gonna need to "add it your self" by alternate the registry. How ever, it's a bit dangerous for your Windows to work propherly. These line should be added to your Windows registry :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\Tools Menu\CoolEdit Pro]
"ExePath"="C:\\audio\\CoolPro2\\coolpro2.exe"
"MenuText"="Cool Edit &Pro"
"StatusBarText"="Edit the selected audio event using Cool Edit Pro 2"
"Type"="WaveEditor"

You may change the Exepath to your CEP location on your HD...
