Changing track settings
Each track in a project contains MIDI or audio information and has a variety of settings (also called
parameters) that determine how the track sounds. By changing these parameters, you can change
the sound of your project. For audio tracks, you control parameters such as volume, stereo panning,
and the output device that is used to produce the sound. For MIDI tracks, you control many
additional parameters, including the type of instrument sound that is used to play the notes stored in
the track. Both kinds of tracks contain an
Automation Read button and an Automation Write
button , which enable or disable automation playback and recording, respectively.
Note: Enable Mono Processing is enabled by default in SONAR. If you are playing back a
legacy project in SONAR and notice the project does not sound the same, try to disable Enable
Mono Processing for any mono plug-ins used in the project.
Note 1: You can control all sliders and knobs in the Console and Track views by clicking a
control, then hover over it with the mouse and manipulate the mouse wheel. If you move the
mouse cursor away from the slider or knob while using the mouse wheel, you will lose control
of the slider or knob you are adjusting.
Note 2: You can show and hide controls in track and bus strips in the Track view, and even
create presets for your favorite control layouts. For details, see “Configuring Track view controls”
on page 340 for more information.
