Save Pattern dialog
Go to Folder (Project saves only)
The Go to folder drop-down lets you quickly go to the default save location for different types of
projects.
Copy all audio with project (Project saves only)
When selected, this check box creates a copy of every audio file your project references, regardless
of where they are located, and stores them in a folder called Audio Data. The Audio Data folder is
created in the folder where you save your project. For example, if you save your project to the
following folder:
C:\My Project
Your project’s audio is saved in the following folder:
C:\My Project\Audio Data
If you want to give the Audio Data folder a different name, you can do so using the Audio path
option. See “Audio path (Project saves only)” on page 1750.
Create one file per clip (Project saves only)
This option is only available if the Copy all audio with project option is selected. When selected,
the Create one file per clip option forces SONAR to create a new wave file for each unique clip. To
conserve disk space, SONAR does not duplicate audio referenced by multiple copies of a clip,
unless you have selected the Export Broadcast Waves By Default check box in Edit >
Preferences > File - Audio Data.
Audio path (Project saves only)
If you want to customize the name of the folder in which you store your audio files, specify it in this
field. You can use the Browse button to specify where the folder is saved.
