For step-by-step instructions, see the following procedures:

To Enable or Disable the Multi-layer Option

• For single tracks, you can right-click the Track Scale, and choose Show Layers from the pop-up

menu, or use the Layers > Show Layers command on the Track pane right-click menu, or click

the Track Layers On/Off button.

• For multiple tracks, select the tracks you want to configure by CTRL-clicking the track number of

each track, and use the Tracks > Layers > Show Layers menu option.

When the option is first enabled, SONAR moves all overlapping clips in the affected tracks to

separate layers, and displays Mute and Solo buttons on the Track Scale for each layer.

After the option is enabled, you can move clips on top of each other without creating new layers. To

move overlapping clips back into separate layers, use the Rebuild command (see below).

Note 2: A multi-layer layer track has only one set of track automation envelopes.

Note 1: If you want to move a clip to the exact same time placement in an adjacent layer, hold

the SHIFT key down while you drag.

Note 2: If the Automatic Crossfades button is enabled, SONAR adds a crossfade between

any newly overlapped clips that are on the same layer.
