Introduction
SONAR basics
The Console view
The Console view is where you can mix the sounds on all the different tracks to create the final mix
of your project. While the Track view provides most of the same controls, you may want to use the
more familiar interface of the Console view for mixing. You use the Console view to adjust the levels
of sound for the different tracks in your project, to change the stereo panning, and to apply real-time
effects to an individual track, combinations of tracks, or the final mix.
The Console view contains several modules of controls. There is one channel strip for each track
and bus in your project. You can use bus sends to direct certain tracks to special modules that are
known as
buses .

As in the Track view, you can change track settings or record new music or sound in the Console
view. You may choose to use one view or the other, or the choice you make may depend on which
project you are working on.
