Finding and previewing audio loops

Now that we have a general idea of how the Media Browser is laid out, let’s find some of the content

that is included with SONAR and give it a listen.

1. Make sure the Media Browser view is open and visible. If it is not, click the Media Browser view

button or press ALT+1.

2. Click on the Views button and make sure that the option for Folders is selected and that the

bullet point is set to Details.

3. In the Folders list, locate the My Documents directory. Click the little triangle to the left of my

documents to expose all of the folders inside of it.

4. Using the same process, navigate to the following directory:

My Documents\Cakewalk\SONAR\Sample Content\PowerFX\DowntempoDub\.You can

open folders by double-clicking on them.

Your folders list should look something like the image below.

Notice that when you click on the Funky folder all of the contents of that folder are displayed in

the Explorer pane to the right.

5. Click on the file named DrumLoop1.wav.

Tip:

ou can quickly jump to the

Sample Content

folder by selecting

Sample Content

from

the

drop-down list.
