Exporting the SOS .Wav files to your computer, to import into your DAW

1.The SOS is unique, in that it can export all the overdubbed track data as separate .Wav files. To move these files from the SOS to your computer you will need a media card reader. Once the card, with the SOS data, is in your media reader, you can upload the data to your computer by selecting and dragging the files across.

2. Next, you will want to import these .Wav files into a session in your DAW. Upon import, all the files will be lined up for proper playback, as separate tracks. This makes it simple and easy, no need for converting or down time. The SOS is all about quick and easy recording, so you can apply the majority of your focus on your creativity.
