I started jamming with a guy and want to try to write a few songs with him. But I have sonar 3 and he has cakewalk 9. I can use buns he makes, but how can I get the bun files he makes?
I know the difficulty. I work in cake 9.3 & my collab works in Audacity.
SSOOOOOOOO
I've harangued him into using a 4 track cassette machine so we can swap the important audio files.
OR you can email each other indiv wave files reduced to MP3s. That works but there's the loss issue & synching. I've managed to get some good results with the MP3 email swaps.
I go and see this guy once a week ( he's 90 miles away) so I just put each of my tracks to a wave file, and place on his machine. When I'm ready to head home I burn a bun file and leave. Seems to be working so far no sync. problems. But it is a pain in the butt on my side of things.
I recently read on one Sonar forum (can't remember which one) that there are slight sync. issues with mp3's, but not with another form of compressed audio (wmv, perhaps). We're talking hundredths of secs. difference here, I think, but nevertheless a difference in start/end points.
