External insert enhancements
The External Insert plug-in has several enhancements, including:
• Improved sync when mixing external hardware with other plug-ins that require delay
compensation.
• Improved sync while looping.
• Multiple external inserts can be used in the same project.
• Improved stability on multiprocessing machines.

Global effects bypass
SONAR allows you to globally bypass all audio effects in a project. You can also choose to only
bypass effects of a specific category (track, bus or clip).
With global effects bypass, you can:
• Quickly compare (A/B) a dry versus a wet mix.
• Temporarily bypass all inline plug-in delay compensation (PDC) effects in order to avoid delay
compensation induced latency while tracking virtual instruments or input monitored tracks.
• Temporarily reduce CPU consumption.
SONAR also has the ability to bypass effects at a per-effect level (effects bypass) as well as at an
effects bin level (bin bypass). Any existing effects and bin bypass states are preserved when you
globally bypass and unbypass effects.
Note: If this option is enabled, you will not be able to change inputs while recording.
