Track-by-Track Playback
SONAR lets you play back any combination of tracks at one time by changing each track’s status . You
can control the status of each track with the individual controls that are on every track, or with the
global controls on the Playback State toolbar or the Status bar that’s at the bottom of the SONAR
window. For more information on the Status bar, see “Status Bar/CPU Meter/Disk Meter” on page 555.
For more information on the Playback State toolbar, see “The Playback State Toolbar” on page 113.
There are several different status settings for each track:
Status... What it means...
Normal The track plays unless one or more of your other
tracks is soloed.
Muted The track is not played, but you can turn it on
while playback is in progress.
Archived The track is not played, and you must stop
playback to re-enable it. Archived tracks do not tax
your CPU during playback so they can be used to
store alternate takes.
Soloed Only those tracks that are designated as solo
tracks are played; all others are muted.
Armed The track is armed for recording.
Mono/Stereo The track plays back in either mono or stereo,
depending on what the individual track setting is,
and whether the Play in Mono button in the
Playback State toolbar is depressed.
