SONAR Basics
The Track view makes it easy to select tracks, clips, and ranges of time in a
project. These are the most common selection methods:
As with most other Windows programs, you can also use the Shift-click and
Ctrl-click combinations when selecting tracks and clips. Holding the Shift
key while you click adds tracks or clips to the current selection. Holding the
Ctrl key while you click lets you toggle the selection status of tracks or clips.
For more information, see Track View and Configuring the Display of
Tracks in the Track View.
Track/Bus Inspector
The Track/Bus Inspector makes it easy to adjust the current track’s (or
bus’s) controls, because it’s a greatly expanded version of the current
track’s controls that is located on the left side of the Track pane.
In addition to the controls that a track or bus displays in the Track view, the
Track/Bus Inspector also contains a built-in 4-band EQ. See the online help
topic “Using the Per-track EQ” for more information.
The following graphic shows most of the Track/Bus Inspector’s controls

Inspector, depending on the resolution of your monitor):
