interface. In many cases, SONAR disables local control automatically when the program is started,
but this is not always possible.
It’s also possible that your keyboard is transmitting information on two channels at once. To see if
this is so, create a new project and record two notes from the keyboard. Then look at what you’ve
recorded in the Event list view. If you see four notes displayed instead of two, then your keyboard is
transmitting on two channels. See the documentation for your keyboard to learn how to correct the
problem.

I Don’t See the Clips Pane in the Track View
The splitter bar may be so far to the right that the Track pane fills the entire Track view. Here’s how
to solve the problem:
1. Place your cursor over the splitter bar. It is located on the far right side of the Track view, just to
the left of the vertical scroll bar. When you place the cursor over the splitter it changes to a
double-headed arrow.
2. Click and drag the splitter bar to the left. You should be all set.

Why Can’t SONAR Find My Audio Files?
SONAR looks for all audio data in a certain directory or folder, called the Data Directory, in Cakewalk
Projects (or the WaveData Directory in previous versions of Cakewalk products). If you have
renamed or moved either SONAR or the Data Directory, SONAR may not be able to find your audio
files. If you know where the audio files are stored, choose Options > Audio, click Advanced and
enter the full path name of the directory in the Data Directory box. If you don’t know where the audio
data are stored, choose Start > Find > Files or Folders and search for files named *.wav.
For more information about the wavedata folder, see Audio File Management.

Why Do I Get Errors from the Wave Profiler?
Audio devices such as voice modems or speakerphone devices can cause an error message when
running the Wave Profiler. Sometimes these errors are harmless; on other occasions you need to
disable the voice modem or speaker-phone device before running the Wave Profiler. To do so:
1. Choose Options > Audio and click the Drivers tab.
2. Make sure that the voice modem or speaker-phone device is not selected in both the Input and
Output device lists.
