Mixing
SONAR lets you mix your projects with tremendous control and flexibility. The extensive bussing
controls, support for DX and VST plug-ins, built-in EQ’s, automation, remote control, metering,
grouping, and freeze features let you design your own style of mixing, with your own workflow.
(Automation is covered in a separate chapter.)
After you finish mixing a project, you can export the project in a variety of audio file formats to create
a CD master or to publish your work on the Internet. You can choose to include all real-time effects
and control movements in the mixed-down tracks that you export (see “Preparing Audio for
Distribution” on page 669 for more information).
