Initialization Files
Many Windows applications, as well as Windows itself, use files to store information about
your preferences and configuration. Often applications store values to these files when
you make selections in the program using menus or dialog boxes. However, you can also
change these files directly. In some cases, there is no way to change the settings in the
application, and changing the file directly is the only way.

Initialization Files
This appendix documents three initialization files, which are stored in the SONAR program
folder (by default, C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR [version]
•
CAKEWALK.INI
• TTSSEQ.INI
• AUD.INI
To view and edit the CAKEWALK.INI file, choose Options-Initialization File. Use the
Windows Notepad to open and alter any of the three files. There are several other .
INI files
in the SONAR folder, but you should not attempt to edit or modify these files in any way.
Changes to these other files could cause SONAR to stop operating properly.
Before making any changes to any of the .
ini files, you should make a backup copy in
case you make a mistake. After you have made your changes, save the file and close
