Initialization Files
Initialization File Format
PauseDuringSave=
<0 or 1> f
Boolean 0 By default, when saving a project file during
playback, SONAR saves the file
asynchronously while playback continues.
While this is not a problem with most projects,
complex projects under high CPU load
conditions (particularly while running under low
latency) may take longer to save than if the
transport was not playing.
Setting PauseDuringSave to a value of 1 in
the [Wincake] section changes the default
behavior and pauses playback temporarily for
the duration of the file save. This allows the file
save to proceed as fast as possible before
playback resumes.
StaffViewPreScanMeasures
= <num>
Integer 16 (measures) This line specifies how far back (in measures)
SONAR should search for long elements in
order to display them in the Staff view. If a long
element does not start within the specified time,
then it will not be displayed in the Staff view
(although it will print).
ToolTempFileDir= <drive:path
name>
Path <Windows TEMP
directory>
This line specifies where to store temporary
.wav files when launching a third party wave
editor from the Tools menu.
ProgressiveWavePictures=<
0 or 1> f
Boolean 1 This option enables progressive display of
waveform pictures. When enabled you will see
pictures being displayed in the clips view
dynamically as they are being computed. The
waveforms will update in the background when
the application is idle. If the
ComputePicturesWhilePlaying flag is set
to 1, waveforms will continue being displayed
progressively even while audio playback is in
progress. This can save time waiting for a
complete picture to be finished before you can
see it.
CtrlSurfaceRefreshMS=
<50 - 5000>
Integer 75 You may wish to increase the value of this
Cakewalk.ini variable if you are
experiencing sluggish UI responsiveness when
using a control surface and playing back high
CPU projects.
Also, if you are using a control surface that is
not bi-directional, the surface does not need to
be refreshed at all and you can safely increase
the value.
