the audio is embedded in the OMF). Use this field to change the
sample rate, if you need to.
6. The Bit Depth field displays the bit depth of the imported audio if the
audio is embedded. If the audio is external, the Bit Depth field defaults
to the Original menu option, which will import the audio at the bit depth
the audio is currently using. If you want to import the audio at a different
bit depth, you can choose the bit depth in this field.
7. If you have previously enabled SONAR's Use Per-Project Audio
Folders option, which is located in SONAR's Global Options dialog,
then the Store Project Audio In Its Own Folder checkbox is already
enabled, and the fields under it are available. If you want to use this
option, fill out the fields below the checkbox; otherwise, disable the
checkbox.
6. Click OK.
7. SONAR opens the OMF file.
You can also export SONAR projects as OMF files (File-Export-OMF
command).
See Exporting OMF Files.
Importing MIDI Files
You can create a new SONAR project from a MIDI file simply by opening
the file. SONAR takes material from the file and places it into one or more
tracks in the Track view.
To Import Data from a MIDI File into a Project
1. Open the MIDI file as a new, separate project.
2. Choose Edit-Select-All.
3. Choose Edit-Copy to display the Copy dialog box.
4. Make sure that Events in Tracks is checked. If you don’t want to import
tempo changes, meter/key changes, or markers, uncheck those
options. Click OK.
5. Open the target project, or click in the Track view for that project.
6. Set the Now time and current track to indicate where the material
should be placed.
