Broadcast Wave Files
Broadcast Wave files are wave files with some additional information stored in
them. Broadcast Wave files have the following information:
• Description—A brief description of the contents of the Broadcast wave.
Limited to 256 characters.
• Originator—The author of the Broadcast wave. This information is taken from
the Author field in the File Info dialog.
• Originator Reference—A unique reference identifier created by SONAR.
• Origination Date—The date the file was created.
• Origination Time—The time the file was created.
• Time Reference—The SMPTE time stamp for the beginning of broadcast
wave.
To import a Broadcast Wave file:
1. If you want SONAR to import Broadcast Wave files always at their
timestamped location, select Options-Global, click the Audio Data tab and
check the Always Import Broadcast Waves At Their Timestamp option.
Otherwise, set the Now Time and current track to indicate where the audio
should be placed.
2. Choose File-Import-Audio to display the Open dialog box.
3. Choose the audio file you want to import. SONAR displays information about
the file at the bottom of the dialog box.
4. Click Play to listen to the audio file before importing.
5. If the new file is stereo, check the Stereo Split option if you want to insert the
file into two separate tracks.
6. Click Open.
If the Always Import Broadcast Waves At Their Timestamp option is selected in
the Global Options dialog, the imported Broadcast Wave file appears at its
timestamp on the selected track. Otherwise, the file appears at the Now Time on
the selected track.
Importing Material from Another SONAR Project
You use the Edit-Copy and Edit-Paste commands to import material from one
project to another using the Windows clipboard. The project that contains the
material you want to import is the source project. The project into which the
material is imported is the target project.
Normally, if you copy material from several different tracks to the Windows
clipboard, the information will be pasted back into separate tracks. You can choose
