Neville,
Thanks for the suggestions. I think your second solution is what I ultimately
am doing, but it's time-consuming to seek forward to the end of a particular
track through the listening process. It would be much better to have a function
where I can know where the clip ends.
For example, if I copy an audio section and it's 2:48 in length and paste it to
an empty track #2, then I would like to be able to go back to track #2 at any
time and not knowing exactly where the end is, jump directly to that 2:48
point. This does not happen if I just use Ctrl-End because Ctrl-End will jump
to the end of whatever track is the longest in the project.
In other words, Ctrl-End means "jump to end of project". I'd like to have a
function "jump to end of this particular track".
Also as I described if I wanted to highlight 12 tracks and export them all to
separate wave files, this can be done in Sonar, but unfortunately every wave
file created is the same length of the longest track -- in other words every
wave file is as long as the project. So I get a lot of excess length in the
wave file and need to do a lot of post-processing to "snip off the end".

There are two ways I think you could do this.
First, you could move to where the silence begins on each track and insert
some audio. Then use the delete whole function to delete the unwanted space.
Second, you could move to the end of each song on each track and press f10
and then hold down control and press f9 this will select from where you are
back to the beginning. Then you could bounce each track separately.
May the peace of God that passes all understanding guard your heart and mind
in Christ Jesus
God Bless You!

Always wondered if this was possible. Here's what I'm doing...
I record an entire cassette tape to Sonar as a single audio track, so it's
about 60 minutes in length.
Now I insert several audio tracks to the project. On each track I paste a
copy of one song from the main track, aligned to bar 1 beat 1.
After I've done all this I delete the original 60-minute track.
What I end up with is about a dozen tracks, each with one audio clip, all
aligned at bar1 beat one. And of course they are all different lengths.
If I select any of these tracks from beginning to ennd I will always be
selecting from bar 1 beat 1 to the end of the longest track. So if I export it
to a wave file I'll have various lenghts of blank audio at the ends of these
songs.
This does not work well when I try to burn a CD, as all the blank audio is
copied.
So the questions are:
1. If I select all the tracks from beginning to end with Ctrl-Enter-Enter and
export to wave files how do I not get that varying lenght of blank audio in the
wave files?
2. Or more simply how do I select any individual track from the beginning to
the actual end of sound?
Dave
