7. Click OK. SONAR rewrites the audio clips at 16 bits.
8. Open the 16-bit project that you want to import the audio into.
9. Drag or paste the rewritten audio clips into the 16-bit project.
To Import 16-bit Audio into a 24-bit Project
• Just use the File-Import Audio command to import the 16-bit audio files.
To Import Audio That Has a Different Sample Rate
1. Use the File-New command to open a new project.
2. Open the Audio Options dialog (Options-Audio command), and on the
General tab, change the Sampling Rate field to the same rate that your project
uses.
3. Use the File-Import Audio command to import the audio file(s) (this converts
them to the new sample rate).
4. Open the project that you want to import the audio into, and drag or paste the
resampled audio clips into the target project.
When a project contains many tracks of digital audio or when many real-time
effects are in use, your computer may have difficulty keeping up during playback.
When this occurs, you'll hear portions of the audio drop out, stutter, or pop. Or
maybe your project responds slowly to real-time effects and volume changes. In an
extreme case audio playback may stop altogether. If you experience a dropout, a
dialog appears with suggestions for fixing the problem. This section covers
performance issues specific to digital audio, including how to get the more tracks of
audio, more real-time effects, lower latency and how to fix audio dropouts.
