Split clip group enhancement
New features in SONAR 8.5
You can selectively unbypass individual effects while in this global bypass state, whick makes it easy
to quickly audition a single effect within a mix.
To globally bypass all effects in a project
• Do one of the following:
• On the Process menu, click Global Bypass Effects Bins.
• Press CTRL+SHIFT+Y.
All FX bins in the active project are temporarily bypassed. To restore the bins to their original
state, simply toggle the state of the Global Bypass Effects Bins option.
To globally bypass all track, bus or clip effects
1. Determine which type of effects you want to bypass (track, bus or clip), and make sure at least
one corresponding FX bin is visible.
2. Right-click the FX bin and select Bypass Bins Of This Type from the pop-up menu.
All FX bins of the same type as the source FX bin are globally bypassed. To restore the bins to their
original state, simply toggle the state of the Bypass Bins Of This Type option.
Split clip group enhancement
SONAR can automatically create a new clip group when splitting clips in an existing clip group. To
specify the split behavior, follow these steps:
1. On the Options menu, click Global, then click the Editing tab.
2. Under Clips, select the When splitting clips in groups, create new groups check box.
Create new group when pasting grouped clips
When you copy and paste clips that belong to a clip group, you can specify if the pasted clips should
be placed in a new clip group or continue to be grouped with the original clip group. By default, a
new clip group is created. You can change the behavior by adding the following line to the [WinCake]
section of the Cakewalk.ini file:
[WinCake]
CreateNewGroupsOnPaste=1
Note: You can only globally bypass audio effects, not MIDI effects.
Note: The Global Bypass Effects Bins option is only a temporary toggle, and is not saved
with the project.
