mixdown in cakewalk sonar

[melodymessiah]

any sonar users here?

i'm trying to find a way to mix down/record many midi tracks into audio tracks in one single operation. the way i do it now, i have to mix down one track at the time, which takes "ages" for a multitrack song.

i use sonar 8.5

Do you mean mix them all down to a single audio track?

If so, solo each midi track you want to mix down, then send them all to a new audio track.

no i ment mixing them down into SEPARATE audio tracks (for eq, compression and so on)

Yes, you can export each individual track from a Sonar project into separate wave files in a single pass. In the export dialog box, select "Tracks" as your "Source category". I assume you prefer not to use compression and EQ plugins inside Sonar; personally, I prefer to stay inside Sonar until the final mastering stage when it's best for me to finalize my completed stereo file in a wave editing program.

I hope this advice works for your older version of Sonar.... it has been a while since I worked on version 8.5.

Good luck!

I looked it up and it seems like this video briefly shows how to export multiple tracks to separate wave files in one pass using Sonar Version 8:

It's not a clear picture, but the guy speaks clearly about the feature.

I hope I'm not leading you down another dead-end, but maybe this is worth another look before moving on.

Good Luck,
Allen
