NotASpeckOfCereal 1 Posted January 28 Hi all, I would like to migrate all of my Sonar projects to Cubase, but apparently the Cubase OMF is for Pro only (not Artist). I really can only afford Artist. Then I remembered that there was a 1/2 off of Cubase Pro in the old forums. I found that thread and the link to 50% off is still around, but the link is dead. Are there still any special deals for LIFETIME owners of Sonar to get a deal on Cubase Pro? Alternatively, are there any known migration paths for Sonar projects to Cubase Artist? Thanks for any tips. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msmcleod 2,158 Posted January 28 You may be able to drag/drop the tracks from SONAR to Cubase (or just export the tracks from SONAR and import them into Cubase) Other than that, there's no conversion program I know of to convert SONAR projects to Cubase.

Nope AFAIK, but the Competitive Crossgrade to Pro seems ok IMO, click the Buy Cubase link & Pro 11 to see requirements & pricing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is migration with using the universal OMF format, but the only version of Cubase that opens it (it seems) is the pro version.

Thanks Per, I've seen the pricing, which puts the full price of the Pro version out of my reach. There was am earlier deal for 50% off for Sonar Lifetime members, as I mentioned, that link is dead. I was posting here in hopes of finding any other path to a discount (legit). Here is the old thread with the offer, which was last commented on last November, but that forum is now read-only: http://forum.cakewalk.com/message-from-Greg-Ondo-of-Steinberg-m3691848-p17.aspx I guess I waited too long to jump on the deal (well, I didn't know about it until today).

NotASpeckOfCereal 1 Posted January 28 ALSO, I forgot to mention: part of the reason I want to migrate these projects is because I'm REBUILDING THE MACHINE, so I fear that my install of SONAR will be toast after this. Does anyone know if I can re-install SONAR after wiping this machine? That would mean that I would not be in a hurry to migrate. Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Per Westin 18 Posted January 28 (edited) Yes you can reinstall Sonar providing you have the install files & serial + response code or can log in to your old CW account or CW Command Center. Cakewalk has never locked your licenses to specific hardware (at least since CW Pro was replaced by Sonar around 2002). I.e. no reason to hurry.🙂 If you´ve lost your login info I think CBB:s support can help you. Edited January 28 by Per Westin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotASpeckOfCereal 1 Posted January 28 Cool, thanks for that Per. Cheers, Chris PS: I'm currently just saving all of my Sonar Projects to OMF just to be safe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John 380 Posted January 28 There is another way. Importing the audio from the audio from the Cakewalk audio folder under the project. Make sure all the audio is set up as full tracks not clips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveC 155 Posted January 29 Or try Cakewalk, SONAR's successor? It's free and will open your projects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My old Sonar is still installed, but cakewalk by Bandlab is so much better know, stable, quick, new functions. Why do you still use Sonar? The Platinum stuff works with CbB and The old projects work fine in CbB. And beside that, you can still use Cubase as you like. There should not be a problem at all.

Chris On cclarry's (aka Larry Shelby) KVR page: Cubase 11 Pro - $300 - includes eLicenser and shipping also includes Spectral Layers Pro 6 https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=444861 That's *almost* 50% off the going price today.
