Select File > Open from the menu bar across the top of SONAR’s screen.
Let’s go ahead and try one of the above methods. Either of them will bring you to the Open dialog box as shown in the following figure. The Open dialog box functions like any other file browsing dialog box in Microsoft Windows.

The Go to Folder drop-down list allows you to quickly move to commonly used folders for project files in SONAR. Typically, you can get to your projects by selecting Project Files.
Navigate to the Cakewalk Content folder (default location is C:\Cakewalk Content\SONAR X3 [Producer or Studio]\Tutorial Projects\Tutorial Projects) and locate the project named SONAR_AudioDemo.cwb.
Let’s now use one of these methods to open the project file SONAR_AudioDemo.cwb. When the project opens, the File Information window appears. This window can be used for storing notes, comments, credits and other helpful information about a project. For now, close File Information window by clicking the Close button in the upper right corner of the window.
