Incorporating drum.wavs into a sonar track?

[justcrash]

How do you do this guys? I have a bunch of drum .wavs. I am also a MAJOR newbie, so I'm sorry if this question is ignorant. Any ideas?

Also, obviously these waves are not long enough for a full track, so do I loop it? How?

Criminy... I must seem really stupid yto you guys.. I swear.. I'm not.

Thank you for being patient.

You can just copy and paste the wavs.
It will let you select how many repetitions you want.
Or File>Import Audio and keep doing that until you get all of the wav files in the track.
Or right click on the wav (once it is in the track) and select Groove Clip Looping and go from there.
Just mess around with it, you won't break anything!

Sonar Power is for someone who wants to LEARN Sonar!
If we all knew what we were doing, we wounldn't be HERE!
It really is a good book because it walks you through each step.
As a matter of fact, Scott, the author, hangs out here sometimes to give US advice!

So I highly recommend you check it out.

Good luck,

I don't know if I am the only ones who noticed this, but when you import a wav file and play it in sonar it takes up more cpu power.

but if you import that same wav file and then re-record that wav file on a new audio track (play wav file and then hit record on new audio track) and then delete the original wav file and play the new wav file on the new audio track it actually takes less cpu power to play...
