Saving your work
Like most Windows programs, SONAR has a
File > Save
command and a
File > Save As
command to save your work. Normally, you save your projects in the standard project file format,
with a file extension of .cwp. This file contains all your MIDI data and all your project settings. Any
digital audio that is part of your project is stored in a separate file, as described in
SONAR also lets you save files in several other formats, as described in the table:
If you have made changes to a project and then attempt to close the project, either by closing the
Track view or by choosing
File > Close
, SONAR asks if you want to save the changes you have
made. This prevents you from accidentally losing your work. You can tell whether changes have
been made to a project by looking for an asterisk (*) after the project name in the SONAR title bar.
SONAR has an Auto Save feature that periodically saves your work into a special backup file. You
can request automatic backups at fixed time intervals or every time a certain number of changes
have been made to the file. When the limit is reached, the file is saved automatically. If your original
project is called
MyProject.cwp
, the Auto Save version is called
Auto Save Version of
MyProject.cwp
.
If there is a power failure or if you make a significant mistake, you can recover the last-saved version
of your project by opening this file. You should then save your project under a different name by
using the
File > Save As
command.

Explanation
Standard MIDI
.mid
Used to transfer MIDI-only projects to other software products that support
Standard MIDI files.
Bundle
.cwb
A single file that includes all the material in your project: MIDI data, project
settings, and audio data. This format is used for projects that contain digital
audio, when you want to back up your work or transfer a project to a different
computer. See
“Backing up projects with digital audio”
more information.
Note:
Bundle files do not save video data.
Template
.cwt
A file that is used as a pattern to create another. Templates make it easy to
create and configure new projects. See
