Controlling Playback
To allow playback with no data
Use the Options > Global command to open the Global Options dialog, and on the General tab,
make sure that the Stop at Project End check box is not checked.
Auto fade when starting/stopping playback
SONAR makes it possible to render a smooth fade in/out whenever audio playback is interrupted.
This can be useful to smooth out abrupt transitions while stopping and starting the transport rapidly
and will reduce ear fatigue during long sessions.
The fade is only applied during playback and is ignored while recording or bouncing audio.
To configure the auto fade times
1. Select Options > Audio and click the Advanced tab.
The Audio Options dialog appears.
2. Adjust the following options:
• Fade On Start (milliseconds). When this option is set to a value greater than zero, starting
playback will cause a gradual fade in of the audio for the specified duration. The valid range is
0–100000 and the default value is 0.
• Fade On Stop (milliseconds). When this option is set to a value greater than zero, stopping
playback will cause a gradual fade out of the audio for the specified duration. The valid range is
0–100000 and the default value is 0.
Handling stuck notes
Under MIDI, the events that turn notes on are separate from the events that stop notes from playing.
Normally, when you stop playback, SONAR attempts to turn off all notes that are still playing.
Depending on how your equipment is configured, it’s possible for notes to get stuck in the On
position. The Transport > Reset command is used to stop all notes from playing. The Transport >
Reset command also stops feedback from input monitoring.
To clear stuck notes
• Choose Transport > Reset, or click on the Large Transport toolbar.
See:
The Transport > Reset command
Looping
Note: You can control the MIDI messages that are sent by the Transport > Reset command
by changing the Panic Strength variable in the Cakewalk.ini file. See “Initialization Files”
on page 929 for more information.
