Hello Richard,

OK, Here goes. First, read any documentation that came with the LAME package. I am using lame version 3.96, but I think the current version is up to 3.97--doesn't matter--whatever you have is good. Now, in the ProgramFiles\cakewalk\shared utilities folder, there is a help file called ExtEncoderCFG.chm that explains the process of installing lame as an external MP3 encoder in Sonar. BTW, I put lame in a folder under the shared utilities folder, but it dowsn't matter where on your HD you put it.

1) there are preset lame profiles that came on your sonar disk that you can use, but they're a little outdated. Instead, I used the preset profiles that came with the lame package itself-the lame documentation will explain these presets.
.
2) basically, you go into sonar's menu system and select Tools|Ext Encoder Config which brings up a dialog for setting up external encoders. After reading that help file I mentioned, you should be able to set up lame as your external MP3 encoder.

To make life a little easier, I'm sending you offline a file that contains all the profiles for the 5 Lame presets. Import that file into the external encoder config dialog. Otherwise, you'll have to fill in all the dialog box fields yourself(which might not be a bad idea for learning purposes).

       Hi Phil,
I've downloaded and saved the lame encoder on my pc.
Can you give me an overview of what I need to do now.
Many thanks for your help.
Richard.
