Creating a New Project

You can add music and sound to an existing project or to a new project.

Just as in any Windows program, you open an existing project file using the

File-Open command, and create a new project file using the File-New

command.

When you create a new SONAR project, there are some additional

parameters you can set to make it easier to work on your project. These

include:

• Meter and key signature

• Metronome and tempo settings

• Audio sampling rate

• MIDI timing resolution

Using Per-Project Audio Folders

For ease of backing up your audio files in a project, SONAR allows you to

use a separate audio folder for each project. This feature is off by default.

To Enable Per-Project Audio

1. Select Options-Global.

The Global Options dialog appears.

2. Click the Audio Data tab.

3. In the Audio Data tab, click the Use Per-Project Audio Folders option.

4. Click OK.

Note: If you use the default project that is created when you open SONAR,

you are not using per-project audio. You must use the Copy All Audio with

Project option in the Save As dialog to create a per-project audio folder. For

more information, see Per-project Audio Folders.
