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 in the Control Bar’s Mix module. For more information about the Mix module, see
“Mix module” on page 552.

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 (audio tracks
only) The track plays back in either mono or stereo, depending on what the
individual track setting is in the Track Inspector (see
“Track Inspector
overview” on page 576).
Phase normal or inverted
(audio tracks only) If a track was accidentally recorded out of phase with another track, the Phase
button in the Track Inspector lets you reverse the phase of a track.
