I am mixing wave files with Sonar X1. I am trying to export an 16 bit, 44.2 kHz stereo mix as I have done may times but now it will not make a normal wave copy that will open and play. Instead it goes through the mix procedure and then shows a saved blank page image with the title where I saved it and a message asking if I want to search for a program to open it and it show only a few Kb so it must not be copying the music file.
Does anyone know what the problem is? I use a ASIO4ALL interface with Vista. Could the ASIO4ALL driver be the problem I can hear the mix in headphones?

Thanks L Puckett at Lawrencepuckett.com
 
You're sure you're selecting Wave file during the export?
 
Isn't it 16 bit 44.1 KHZ ? Edit - Select All. File - Export Audio, File Type - Broadcast Wave.
 
Are you sure you haven't accidentally taken the ".wav" file extension off the file? That would be a reason why it searches for a program to open it.
 
I will attach a photo of the settings I use when exporting. I only ever export as wave and then convert using other things. Your problem might be that you are using broadcast wave. Just select "Wave". Also you can check the fast bounce if you want and turn dither off. Also make sure to set a selection area before you go to this export menu. You can do that by pushing ctrl-a and that will select everything in the project. If I wasn't clear just ask me anything that didn't make sense. Many times things make sense in my head but not written out. And it is 44.1 not 44.2.

Dude hasn't answered, IMO possibly embarrassed, cuz he/she figured it out and it was dumb. Sh It happens.

Trust me. I used to be a coder (programmer). When I started, I made every mistake in the universe. It took years to make them all. I figured them all out, though. And I ended up being VERY good at it.

When I got a DAW, I made every mistake in the universe - except those I'd already made as a BASIC, GWBASIC, Pascal, DBASE III (remember that?), Visual Basic, a bunch of others that I can't remember the name of, DotNET VB and finally a C# programmer.

Fact is, you've got to try, screw up, and most importantly, learn to troubleshoot.

I'm a Dad.
