Preferences dialog
• Show Mono Outputs. Select this option if you want to assign audio track and bus outputs to
individual (mono) hardware outputs in addition to stereo pairs. This is very useful, for example, if
you record in SONAR but want to use an external mixing console to mix. When enabled, mono
hardware outputs are available in all locations that display audio output ports, with the exception
of the Media Browser view, Loop Construction view and Import Audio dialog. Each available
audio port exposes Left, Right and Stereo channels.

Note: The Show Mono Outputs option only affects the display of mono hardware outputs in
SONAR; it does not affect current output port assignments on tracks and buses. Existing mono
output assignments are retained even if you disable the Show Mono Outputs option.
