Select the directory in which you want to store the file.
File name
Type or select the filename you want to open.
Save as type
Select the type of file you want to save your project as. If you are saving a
project, you have the following options:
• Normal—Saving as type Normal saves your MIDI data, all project
settings, and references to your audio data, with the extension .
CWP.
SONAR saves no audio data in a .
CWP file, only references to where
the data is on the hard disk. Saving your project as a bundle file (see
below) saves all your project data in one place, including a new copy of
your audio data; this method uses a lot more disk space than saving as
a .
CWP file.
• Template—Template file with the extension .
CWT. Use Template files to
save commonly used project settings for quickly setting up a new
project.
• Cakewalk Bundle—Bundle file with the extension .
CWB. Bundle files
contain everything that a Normal file type contains with the addition of
all your project's audio. Bundle files are great for backing up projects,
and are also useful for moving SONAR projects from one computer to
another.
• MIDI Format 0—Save in this format to create a Standard MIDI File that
has all channels merged into one track.
• MIDI Format 1—Save in this format to create a Standard MIDI File that
keeps each channel on a separate track.
• Riff MIDI Format 0—Save in this format if you need a Riff MIDI File of
Format 0.
• Riff MIDI Format 1—Save in this format if you need a Riff MIDI File of
Format 1.
Riff Wave files—If you are saving in the Loop Construction view, you can
save the wave file as a Groove Clip/Wave file or a regular Wave file,
depending on whether you enabled looping on the clip that you’re saving.
Groove Clip/Wave files are ACID-compatible files which can be used in
SONAR or any application that supports ACIDized files.
