How to export FROM Sonar to mix in Pro Tools?

[rockwithrespect]

Hello all,

What is the best way to have someone send me a Sonar session? Are there any Sonar users here? Does Sonar have an export feature that will be compatible with Pro Tools? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Rockwithrespect,

I just did that. I found some of my Sonar files on an old harddrive. Since I don't have Sonar or Windows anymore. I sent them to a friend with Sonar.
He saved them in Sonar as OMF files.
Sent them back to me.
I opened them in Protools with DigiTranslator.
The thing is, I happen to have Digitranslator.
If you don't, I think their Demo worksfor 14 days. It will do the trick.

Does anyone know if Cubase can save in OMF ?

w/respect, Tom Mix

depends what your wanting but for me Id just export them files as BWF and import them into
ProTools with their timestamps and off ya go. I dont mess with OMF personally, too finicky

Exporting and importing OMF files (Cubase SX only)
Open Media Framework Interchange (OMFI) is a platform independent
file format intended for transfer of digital media between different applications.
Cubase SX can import and export OMF files (file extension
“.omf”), allowing you to use Cubase SX in conjunction with other audio
and video applications.
Exporting OMF files
1. Pull down the File menu and open the Export submenu.
2. On the submenu, select “OMF...”.
The OMF Export Setup dialog appears.
3. Use the track list to the left to select which tracks should be included
in the exported file.
To select all tracks, click the “Select All” button. Normally, the whole project is included -
to export the range between the locators only, activate “From Left to Right Locator”.
4. Select “1.0 File” or “2.0 File” depending on which OMFI version is
supported by the application in which you plan to import the file.
5. Select whether you want to include all audio data in the OMF file (“Export
All to One File”) or use references only (“Export Media File References”).
If you choose “Export All to One File”, the OMF file will be totally “self-contained”, but
possibly very large. If you choose “Export Media File References”, the file will be small,
but the referenced audio files must be available for the receiving application.
6. If you selected the “2.0 File” option above you can choose whether to
include the volume settings and fades for the events (as set up with
the event volume and fade handles) as well as the clip names – to include
these in the OMF file, activate “Export Clip Based Volume”,
“Use Fade Curves” and/or “Export Clip Names” respectively.
7. Specify a sample size (resolution) and sample rate for the exported
files (or use the current project settings).
8. If you activate “Quantize Events to Frames”, the event positions in the
exported file will be moved to exact frames.
9. Click OK, and specify a name and location in the file dialog that
appears.
