SONAR X3 can load projects from any previous versions of SONAR, but projects that are saved in
SONAR X3 cannot be re-opened in SONAR 1.x or SONAR 2.x. In case you need to open a pre-
SONAR X3 project in an earlier version of SONAR, it is recommended that you always create a
backup copy of the original project before you re-save the project in SONAR X3.
Project files saved in SONAR X3 will not open in SONAR 4 or earlier if they reference or include any
of the following types of data or information:
• 32-bit and 64-bit audio clips, including clips and tracks that have been frozen or rendered as 32-
bit or 64-bit data.
• Audio clips that are not all of the same bit depth.
Project files saved in SONAR X3 will not open in SONAR 5 if they reference 64-bit audio clips.
Project files saved in SONAR X3 that contain multiple automation envelopes per track may appear
like automation data is missing when opened in an earlier version of SONAR. To see all automation
data for a track right-click on it and choose
Envelopes > Show Track Envelopes
and then select
each envelope that you would like to show.
SONAR X3 project files may contain new features that will be missing if opened in SONAR 5 and
earlier, including:
• ACT current context.
• All AudioSnap data.
• Automation Read Enable States.
• Clip lock properties.
•
Preserve mix between gang members
setting.
• Synth Rack Assignable Controls.
• Synth Rack Automation.
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.
• Group names will be truncated.
• SONAR 4 may add extra groups to the project.
