My Pro Audio 9 Files Sound Louder/
Softer When I Open Them in SONAR
Pro Audio 9 has a setting in the Audio Options dialog box called MIDI
Volume Mapping. This setting determines how many dB that a movement
of a volume fader produces. This setting is not stored in each project file, so
SONAR can’t tell precisely what dB scale was used to produce the file
you’re opening. If the volume sounds incorrect:
1. Open SONAR’s
AUD.INI file (find it in your SONAR folder and double-
click it).
2. Change the line that says VolMethod= “N.” If N=1, change N to 0; if
N=0, change N to 1.
3. Save the file and close it.
4. Reopen the Pro Audio file in SONAR. If the volume sounds correct,
save the file in Sonar.
If other Pro Audio 9 files were opening correctly in SONAR, change the
VoMethod=N line in SONAR’s
AUD.INI file back to what it originally was, and
re-save the file.
