Initialization Files
Initialization File Format
DefaultEqPosition=<0 or 1> Boolean 0 The integrated channel EQ is pre FX bin by default, but
you can change the position of any channel EQ by right-
clicking the EQ plot and choosing the desired position
from the context menu.
The DefaultEqPosition Aud.ini variable lets you
specify the default EQ position for all new tracks/buses.
This variable lives in the [Aud] section of Aud.ini,
and legal values are: 0 (pre FX) or 1 (post FX).
BounceBufSizeMsec=
<0 to 350>
Integer 0 This is a line in the Wave section of the Aud.ini file
that sets the buffer size for bouncing tracks. At a value
of 0, the bounce buffer is the same size as the Mixing
Latency value that you set in the Audio Options dialog.
If you find that bouncing tracks, especially with certain
soft synths, takes a very long time, you can set this
value to 100, or some value between 0 and 350 so that
the bounce buffer will use a more efficient size for
bouncing, which has different requirements from normal
playback latency.
Note: on larger projects, setting this variable to a large
value can cause out-of-memory errors.
DropoutMsec=<num> Integer 250 Under high system load conditions, the SONAR audio
pump mechanism may become starved. When this
condition is detected, SONAR drops out. The
DropoutMsec variable allows you to configure the
tolerance time in milliseconds. This variable applies to
all driver modes.
Setting DropoutMsec to a positive value > 0 specifies
the actual time in milliseconds to tolerate before
dropping out due to starvation.
Setting DropoutMsec to a negative value < 0 means we
use a multiple of the audio buffer size as the tolerance.
i.e. -2 means we use twice the audio buffer size.
Note that setting this value too low (e.g. 0) can result in
more frequent dropouts in the program. If you notice too
many dropouts, try raising it in buffer multiples or by
explicitly specifying a millisecond value.
SuspendPluginsOnBounce=<0
or 1>
Boolean 1 This is a line in the [Wave] section of the Aud.ini file
that controls whether VST plug-ins are suspended and
resumed prior to starting a bounce operation.
When set to 1 (default), VST plug-ins are suspended
and resumed both before and after the bounce process.
This flushes any residual buffers that might be present
from plugins that have internal latency.
