8. Check Mix Each Groove Clip as a Separate Clip option if you want to save
Groove clips (ACIDized files) as separate clips. This may increase significantly
the amount of time it takes to export your project, if there are many Groove
clips in your project.
9. Click Save.
Note: OMF files save the following:
•Tracks
• Clip positions
• Slip edits
• Fades and crossfades (as destructive edits)

Dithering
Dithering is a process you can use when you convert a 24-bit file to 16 bits. SONAR
offers the new Pow-r dithering process, short for Psycho-acoustically Optimized
Wordlength Reduction, which can produce 16-bit files that sound indistinguishable
from their 24-bit source files. Dithering adds a small amount of noise to the 16-bit
file to approximate the sounds that were lost when the other 8 bits were removed.
When this option is turned on, SONAR uses dithering when you import a 24-bit
file into a 16-bit project. Also, because many SONAR features such as effects use
32-bit processing, SONAR applies dithering when you bounce or freeze tracks with
dither turned on. Doing lots of bouncing and/or freezing with dither turned on can
build up noise in your project, however turning it off produces a small amount of
distortion during bounces and freezes instead. Dithering is not applied or needed if
you work in 24-bit mode, until you decide to export a 16-bit file, at which time you
can turn it on if you want.
