Instruction Manual

Recording
You can add sound or music to a SONAR™ project in many different ways. You can
record your own material using a MIDI-equipped instrument, use a microphone or another
audio input to record digital audio information, or import sound or music data from an
existing digital data file. With the input monitoring feature, you can hear your audio
instruments exactly how they sound in SONAR, including any plug-in effects (effects are
not recorded, however). When you record audio or MIDI tracks, SONAR displays a wave
preview of your recorded data as you record it.
You can also input new material using your computer keyboard or mouse using the Piano
Roll view, the Staff view, or the Event List view. For more information on entering music
using these views, see the online help topics: The Staff View, The Piano Roll View, and
The Event List View.
