Preparing to Record
To prepare for recording, you need to do the following:
• Set the recording mode.
• Choose your input(s).
• Arm one or more tracks for recording.
• Check your recording levels (audio only).
• Tune your instrument if necessary (audio only).
• Set the Now time to the point where recording should start.
• Start recording.
After you record, you can use the Edit-Undo command to erase the most
recently recorded material. You can use the Edit-Redo command to
restore the recording and toggle between Undo and Redo as many times
as you like.
If you are using MIDI Sync or time code sync for the clock source, SONAR
waits to receive external timing data before it begins recording. For more
information see Synchronizing Your Gear.

also save whatever recording mode you choose together with that project:
