Initialization File Settings dialog

• Aud.ini

To view and edit the Cakewalk.ini file, choose Options > Initialization File.

To edit the other two files, or the Cakewalk.ini file, use the Windows Notepad.

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 Notepad. SONAR reads

the settings in these files only when it first starts up. Therefore, if you change any settings while

SONAR is running, you should exit and restart SONAR in order for the changes to take effect.

The Initialization File Settings dialog box has the following fields:

Variable list

The large window in the Initialization File Settings dialog box lists variables that are already

assigned to values. Next to the variables, after the equal sign, are the values that each variable is

currently assigned to.

Option

Type the variable into this field that you want to set a value for, for example, DrawPlayingAudio.

Spelling is critical, but case doesn’t matter.

Value

Type the number or value that you want to assign to the variable that is in the Option field.

Set button

Click this button to finish assigning the number in the Value field to the variable in the Option field.

Delete button

Click this button to delete the variable assignment that’s highlighted in the Variable list.
