Recording
You can add sound or music to a SONAR project in many different ways. You can record your own
material using a MIDI-equipped instrument, use a microphone or another audio input to record digital
audio information, or import sound or music data from an existing digital data file. With the Input
monitoring feature, you can hear your audio instruments exactly how they sound in SONAR,
including any plug-in effects (effects are not recorded, however). When you record audio or MIDI
tracks, SONAR displays a wave preview of your recorded data as you record it.
You can also input new material using your computer keyboard or mouse using the Piano Roll view,
the Staff view, or the Event List view. For more information about entering music using these views,
see the online help topics: The Staff View, The Piano Roll View, and The Event List View.
