Arranging Tracks
3. Choose the order in which to sort from the Order list.
4. Click OK.
SONAR sorts the tracks according to the settings you chose.
Inserting Tracks
You can insert new tracks by a variety of methods. When you insert multiple
tracks, you can set track output properties at the same time. If you want
new audio tracks to always use the same output bus, you can set that bus
as the default bus.
For step-by-step instructions, follow these procedures:
To Insert a Single Track
• Click the Insert New Tracks or Buses button that’s in the Track View
toolbar, and choose options from the popup menu.
Or
• Right-click in the Track pane at the place where you want to insert a
track, and select Insert Audio Track to add an audio track or Insert
MIDI Track to add a MIDI track.
Or
• Press Insert to add a track of the same type (audio or MIDI) as the
current track.
SONAR shifts the current track and all tracks below it down by one, and
inserts a blank, new track at the location of the highlight.
To Insert Multiple Tracks
1. Use the Insert-Multiple Tracks command to open the Insert Tracks
dialog.
Channel If you choose this attribute, SONAR sorts the
tracks by channel number, either in descending
or ascending order:
• If you choose ascending order, SONAR puts all
MIDI tracks at the bottom of the Tracks window,
with the lower channel numbers first.
• If you choose descending order, SONAR puts all
MIDI tracks at the top of the Tracks window, with
the higher channel numbers first.
