Playing project files
Tutorial 1 – Creating, playing, and saving projects
Next, you will want to repeat the above process for all of the tracks in your project.
Playing the project
Now that all of the track’s outputs are set to the appropriate device, the next step is to play the
project to make sure it can be heard and sounds right.
Locate the Control Bar at the top of SONAR’s screen.
The Control Bar contains many useful functions related to projects in SONAR. For now, simply click
the Play button to hear the project.
Experiment with the Mute and Solo buttons on each track. If you solo multiple tracks you will
hear all of the soloed tracks. If you mute any tracks, they will not be heard.
Once you are done listening, click the Stop button .

Tip: If you need to change multiple outputs simultaneously, select the tracks, then hold down the
CTRL key while you change the Output setting in any selected track. You can also click a track’s
Output control and choose
Selected Track Outputs , which opens a dialog that allows you to
change the Audio and MIDI outputs of all selected tracks.
Tip: You can also use your keyboard’s SPACEBAR key to start and stop playback in SONAR.
