Save a vocal

[cobblers]

 Used Sonar le for years  no prob record a vocal and save it and use it  with whatever   I wanted to  but this does not happen with cakewalk.    I am not interested in projects at this stage.  I have a  backing track and a vocal I recorded  and now want to  save the vocal as Wav and use it with something  simpler to use. Despite  naming the vocal and saving as that it saves other track albeit under the new name?. I have searched  for solutions but all seem obsessed with  exporting mlxes. Any advice much appreciated 

thanks

"Export Audio" is how you get a .WAV file out of SONAR. Mute the backing track and click on the Export button in the control bar. Select Audio > WAV. Specify a destination file to create.

If that is too complex then you are using the wrong software.

Thank you  no not to complex just clumsy   I would have thought  selecting would be  suffice. Is  that because its  in a Project as opposed to just  individual tracks

Possibly.

Interestingly, I recently created an Enhancement Request related to your question which, if implemented, would make it trivial to right-click on the vocal take and find the underlying WAV file in the File Explorer... so we'll have to wait and see. I think it is a viable Use Case.

To get the physical location of clips

• Select the clip(s)
• Right-click on one of the clips or a blank part of a track to bring up the context menu
• Click last option on the menu - Associated Audio Files
