SONAR basics

And you wanted to exclude the Cakewalk FxDelay from the X-Ray Windows feature, after

creating a blank line you would type:

; Cakewalk FxDelay

XRayExclude13={985DAF67-589F-4B8D-8BBC-D7AD651B9022}

If there was also a VST version of the Cakewalk FxDelay, you would add another line:

XRayExclude14=[some VST ID number, with no brackets]

10.Save and close the Xrayexclude.ini file, and restart SONAR to implement your changes.

Customizable menus

All main menus and context menus are customizable. You can fine-tune your workflow by hiding

menu items that are rarely used and reordering commands that you use frequently. You can even

design and save menu layouts specific to different tasks.

• To open the Menu Editor dialog, choose Options > Menu Editor.

• In the Menu Editor dialog, to choose a menu to edit, select one from the Menu drop-down list.

Caution: You can move commands completely out of their default menus. For example, you

can move commands out of the Edit menu into the Process menu. Keep in mind that this

manual describes commands by their original menu locations, so if you’re looking for help about

the Process > Nudge command, and you’ve moved the Nudge command to the Edit menu, the

documentation for this command will still refer to the command as Process > Nudge. You can

always load the default menu layout to restore the original command structure.

To do this Do this

Hide items in a menu Click a menu Item (CTRL-click to select multiple items) and press the Hide

button.

The hidden command(s) will only be visible in the submenu that is automatically

created at the bottom of the menu. You can display the submenu by clicking one

of the arrows at the bottom of the menu.

Show items in a menu Click a menu Item (CTRL-click to select multiple items) and press the Show

button.

The command(s) will reappear in its original location.

Reorder items in a menu Click and drag menu Items up or down to change their position in the menu

order.

Note: You can also click and drag Menu Items in and out of submenus.

Create a new submenu Right-click an item in the Menu Items list and select Create Submenu. That

item will now appear in its own new submenu.

Select one or more items from the list and press the Create New button in the

Submenus section of the dialog.
