SONAR Basics
The Track View
The Track view is the main window that you use to create, display, and
work with a project. When you open a project file, SONAR displays the
Track view for the project. When you close the Track view for a project,
SONAR closes the file.
The Track view is divided into several sections: toolbars (at the top), the
Navigator pane, the Video Thumbnails pane (Producer Edition only), the
Track pane, the Track/Bus Inspector, the Clips pane, and the Bus pane.
You can change the size of the panes by dragging the vertical or horizontal
splitter bars that separate them.

All of the current track’s controls, plus a few that are only available in the
Console view, are contained in the Track/Bus Inspector which is an
expanded version of the current track’s controls located on the far left side
of the Track view. You can hide or show the Track/Bus Inspector by
