Loop Recording

Choose one of the following loop recording options:

• Store Takes in a Single Track. Choosing this option causes SONAR to merge every new take

with the previous takes, unless you choose Overwrite mode, which mutes each take except the

newest one.

• Store Takes in Separate Tracks. Choosing this option causes SONAR to place each new take

in the next available track. This method can quickly overwhelm your computer if you are recording

audio data.

Layers

• Create New Layer On Overlap. If you have the Track Layers button on a track enabled, and

you record one clip so that it overlaps another clip, the clips appear in different track layers when

this option is enabled.

Clip Groups

• Group Clips Across Tracks. Choosing this option causes SONAR to place all new clips in a

group after recording is complete. When loop recording, each pass of the loop gets placed in its

own group. For more information, see “Clip selection groups” on page 337.
