Unpack OMF dialog
Unpack OMF dialog
The Unpack OMF dialog box appears when you open an OMF file.
Select from the following unpack options:
Sample Rate
This field displays the sample rate that the imported audio uses if you’re using embedded media; if
you’re using externally linked media, this field defaults to
44,100 . You can change the sample rate by
choosing one of the sample rates listed in the drop-down menu.
Bit Depth
This field displays the bit depth that the imported audio uses if you’re using embedded media; if
you’re using externally linked media, this field defaults to the
Original menu option in the drop-down
menu, which leaves the bit depth of the imported audio in its original depth. You can change the bit
depth during import by choosing one of the listed options.
Initial Tempo
Set the initial tempo of the file.
Store Project Audio in its own Folder
If you want to use a unique folder for this project’s audio data, check this option and fill out the
Project Name , Location and Audio Path fields. If you deselect this option, the project is saved with
the same file name to the default directory using the default audio directory. The file’s new extension
is .cwp.
Project Name
The Project filename. This field is only active if you have checked the Store Project Audio in its
own Folder option.
Location
The directory where you want to save the project. This field is only active if you have checked the
Store Project Audio in its own Folder option.
Audio Path
The audio directory where you want to store the audio for the project. This field is only active if you
have checked the
Store Project Audio in its own Folder option.
Note: When you import an OMF that uses embedded media, SONAR can determine the bit
depth and sample rate of the embedded media, and it will set those fields as the default values
for OMF import. If the OMF is using externally linked media, SONAR will not be able to
determine the sample rate of the media and will default to a 44,100 sample rate. In this case it
is desirable to know the sample rate of the original material so the import OMF settings can be
set to avoid resampling the media, if resampling is not desired.
