verify the settings you made in the Preferences dialog box, and click the Wave Profiler button
again. When you can successfully run the Wave Profiler without an audio driver error, proceed to
the next step.

6. Import the mixed down audio by using the File > Import Audio command.
7. Confirm the bit depth and sample rate of the imported audio by using the File > Info command,
and clicking File Stats . The File Stats dialog box lists the correct sample rate and bit depth.
8. Final step: use the File > Export > Audio command. Be sure to select 16 for the Bit Depth and
uncheck all Mix Enables .
Now you can burn your exported audio file to CD, using Pyro Audio Creator, or other software.

following types of data or information:
• 32 bit audio clips.
• Audio clips that are not all of the same bit depth.
SONAR X3 project files may contain new features that will be missing if opened in SONAR 4,
including:
• Clip effects and clip automation:
• Effects are removed.
• Automation envelopes are orphaned.
• Groups:
• SONAR X3 groups are preserved but will not be completely functional in SONAR 4.
• Controls may be removed from groups.
• Groups can’t be added to or changed.
