Arranging
The Track view makes it easy to arrange and mix your projects from a single view. From
one location, you can select, copy, move, mix, and rearrange the parts of your project,
using menu commands or drag-and-drop tools. You can add real-time audio and MIDI
effects from the Effects bin and buses. Markers provide easy-to-use reference points and
labels for the different parts of your project, and the snap grid makes it easy to align your
clips to the desired time points. Slip-editing allows you to non-destructively change the
start and/or end time of a clip, just by dragging its borders. With Groove clips, you can
easily create repetitions of your clips using your mouse. Both the Track view and Console
view have a full set of record and playback meters, which you can configure in several
ways. SONAR™ also has a variety of tools and commands for changing the tempo of your
project. Composite tracks allow you to keep all your takes in one track if you want, and
selectively mute and solo the various clips in the track. Track folders let you edit multiple
tracks at once and conserve screen space.
