Track-by-Track Playback
Controlling Playback
While playback is in progress, you can mute and unmute tracks in any
combination, which means you can hear only the tracks that you want. You
can change the status of a track in the Track view, the Console view, the
Track menu, or the Playback State toolbar.
If a track is both muted and soloed, it does not play. Mute has precedence.
The track status is saved with the SONAR project file. If you save a SONAR
project as a Standard MIDI File, however, all tracks are saved without mute,
solo, or archive indicators.

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 The track plays back in either mono or
stereo, depending on what the
individual track setting is, and whether
the Play in Mono button in the
Playback State toolbar is depressed.
Phase normal or inverted If a track was accidentally recorded out
of phase with another track, the Phase
button lets you reverse the phase of a
track.
