you need to save as a sonar project, a cwp file.

Subject: [ddots-l] Bringing pre-existing midi files into Sonar.
Hi all, I have a question about bringing pre-existing midi files into
Sonar. If I open a midi, it seems to preserve the tempo and such.
However, if I make a project and create a midi track, because importing
midi isn't available without a midi track, it sets the tempo to Sonar's
default and it seems to destroy the first track's patch and channel
selection.
I'm asking about this because I was trying to fix a midi for a friend, all
the tracks were named track 1, etc. So I opened the midi, inserted the
cakewalk tts1, routed all the outputs to it, and then picked the first
bank in the track properties of each midi track. As soon as i did that,
the patches changed from numbers to instrument names, and I then renamed
each track to its instrument name. However, when I saved it as a project,
the project was actually empty, apparently it wanted me to save it as a
midi file again. But suppose I want to work with the midi file at its
actual tempo and all? How do I do this, get the file into Sonar,
preserving the original midi attributes, but also save it as a project,
containing that midi data and any softsynths and such I insert? I made a
project and opened the midi, and that gave me midi tracks. I then did the
inserting of tts1 and such. I figured since it was a project, I could hit
ctrl-s to save it, should I have used save as instead? It definitely
saved it as a project file using ctrl-s, but that project file was empty,
heh.
