Controlling Playback

To Mute All Tracks

toolbar.

• Select all tracks, and then use the Tracks-Mute command.

To Archive or Unarchive Tracks

1. Select one or more tracks in the Track view.

2. Choose Tracks-Archive, or right-click and choose Archive from the

menu to toggle the archive status of the selected tracks.

Soloing Tracks

Sometimes you want to hear a single track, or a few tracks at once, without

having to mute all the other tracks. You can do this by soloing the tracks

you want to hear.

As soon as any track is marked as a solo track, SONAR ignores all mute

settings (unless a soloed track is also muted—mute takes precedence over

solo) and plays only the track or tracks that are set to solo. Any number of

tracks at one time can be marked as solo. All these tracks will play together.

As soon as the solo status of the final solo track is turned off, SONAR once

again plays back tracks based on their mute settings.

To Solo or Unsolo Individual Tracks

• To solo or unsolo a track, click the Solo button in the Track or Console

view

• To solo or unsolo several tracks at once, select the tracks and choose

Tracks-Solo, or right-click, and choose Solo from the popup menu.
