No MIDI Inputs—SONAR dialog
The No MIDI Inputs - SONAR dialog box appears the first time you run SONAR, if no MIDI input
devices are selected in Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Devices , or when another program is using
your system’s MIDI inputs. This dialog box lets you choose, or decide not to choose, an input.

Normalize dialog
The Normalize dialog box appears when you use the Process > Apply Effect > Normalize
command. This dialog box has the following controls:
•
Presets window. Use this window and the Save and Delete buttons that are next to it to save
and manage any normalization presets that you decide to keep.
• Normalize Level slider. Drag this slider up or down to control the volume of a selection so that
the highest sample level reaches the level of the slider.
• Percentage field. This field is linked to the Normalize Level slider. This field displays the
percentage of possible normalization, from 0 to 100%.
• dB field. Like the Percentage field, this field is linked to the Normalize Level slider. Typing
values into this field moves the slider, just as moving the slider changes the values in this field.
The dB values range from -INF (silent) to 0 dB (loudest level).
Note: When you normalize stereo data, normalization is computed on the loudest sample value
found in either channel and the same gain is applied to both.
