• Audio files (extensions .au and .snd)
The sampling rate for a project is set based on your default sampling rate. If the sampling rate from
the wave file does not match the sampling rate in your project, then it will be converted to the current
project’s sampling rate.

“Importing audio CD Tracks” on page 298
File > Import > Audio CD
The File > Import > Audio CD command lets you import tracks from audio CD’s into any track of a
project. Any number of CD tracks can be imported. For each track selected, a new Audio track is
created in the project.
The File > Import > Audio CD command supports CD Audio Track files (extension .cda).
Audio tracks on a CD always have a bit depth of 16, but you can choose to import the tracks at a
higher bit depth if desired.

“Importing audio CD Tracks” on page 298
File > Import > Video
SONAR's File > Import > Video command lets you include an AVI, MPEG, or QuickTime video in
your project. This video is shown in real time as your project plays. The Video view displays the
current time (as in the Big Time view) and the video itself. The display in the Video view is
synchronized with the Now time, giving you convenient random access to the video stream. This
makes it easy to align music and digitized sound to the video.

“Video playback, import, and export” on page 230
File > Import > MIDI
The File > Import > MIDI command opens the Import MIDI dialog. You must first select a MIDI
track to make the command available. This dialog lets you import MIDI files and Project5 patterns.
