Creating a New Project File
When you create a new project you are asked to choose a template to use
for your new file. If you have per-project audio folders enabled (for more
information, see the online help topic Using Per-Project Audio Folders), you
are also asked to specify a file name, the folder where you want to store the
file, and the folder where you want to store the file’s audio. You can override
per-project audio by unchecking the Store Project Audio in its Own Folder
option.
SONAR includes a set of templates you can use to create a new project.
These templates include common types of ensembles, such as rock
quartets, jazz trios, and classical full orchestras. When you create a new
project using one of these templates, SONAR creates a project that has
MIDI settings predefined so that one track is set up for each of the
instruments in the ensemble. SONAR also includes a template with two
MIDI and two audio tracks (called the Normal template). If you are creating
a new project that will contain only audio material, use the Audio Only
template. If you are creating a new project that will contain only MIDI
material, use the MIDI Only template.
You can create your own template files and use them as the basis for other
new projects. For more information, see Templates.
