Managing audio data

Because of the great size of audio data, SONAR uses an intelligent scheme for storing audio clips on disk to conserve disk space and minimize the time it takes to load and save data. Audio data is not stored directly in your project file, but rather in separate files in a special directory. For more information, see Audio file management.

You can export your project in MP3, WMA, or Wave format. You can also convert your project’s MIDI data to audio and export it to any of the above formats. For more information, see Preparing audio for distribution.
