Effects Bin from the pop-up menu.

click anywhere outside of the effects bin.
To delete, bypass, move, copy, or re-order a clip effect
• To delete an effect, right-click the effect name and choose Delete from the pop-up menu.
• To bypass or un-bypass all the effects on a clip, right-click in the clip’s effects bin and choose

• To enable or disable an individual effect, click the effect’s on/off switch.
• To move an effect to another effects bin (on a track or a clip), drag the name of the effect to the
other effects bin.
• To copy an effect to another effects bin (on a track or a clip), hold the CTRL key down, and then
drag the name of the effect to the other effects bin.
• To change the order of an effect in an effects bin, drag the name of the effect up or down to the
desired place in the effects chain.
To apply inserted clip effects
1. If you want to apply the inserted effects on more than one clip, select them.
2. If you want to leave room at the end of any clips for effects tails, slip-edit the ends of the clips to
leave some empty space.
3. Click the Track view Clips menu and choose Bounce to Clip(s) .
After the progress bar disappears, the bounced clips appear with new waveforms to reflect the
effects processing. The inserted clip effects are removed from the bounced clips automatically.
Canceling changes made to real-time plug-ins
EnablePluginCancelButton=<0 or 1>, default = 0
In SONAR 4.0.2 and earlier, opening the property page of a VST plug-in during playback could result
in a slight disruption in playback.
The cause for this problem has its roots in the little
Cancel button that sits in the top right corner of
the plug-in's property page. The purpose of this button is to allow the user to cancel out of any
changes they might have made to the plug-in, restoring back to whatever state the plug-in was in
before they opened the GUI window. To make this work, SONAR would need to take an initial
snapshot of the plug-in's state, and some plug-ins with large amounts of preset data could cause an
audio hiccup if the data was captured for the
Cancel button.
To address this issue, SONAR 4.0.3 (and later) does not take a snapshot of the plug-in's state by
default, and the
Cancel button is not available. There is a new
Cakewalk.ini
variable to bring
back the Cancel button if desired, but be aware that this may also result in hiccups when opening
VST plug-ins during playback.
This variable should be set in the
[WinCake]
section. For example:
[WinCake]
EnablePluginCancelButton=1
