• On Stop, Rewind to Now Marker. The Now Time jumps back to the Now Time Marker
whenever playback stops.
• Set Now Time With Full Restart. When you change the Now Time during playback, the
Transport comes to a full stop, and then restarts playback. This stops the sound for a brief
moment, but makes synchronization (especially with video) more robust.
• Stop at Project End. Playback will automatically stop after the last event in the project is
reached. When this option is disabled, playback will continue beyond the end of the project and
playback can also be started in an empty project.
Tracks menu
The Tracks menu contains the following commands:
• Make Instrument Track. If an existing audio track and MIDI track are assigned to the same
software instrument, this command converts the two tracks into a single instrument track (only
available for MIDI tracks).
• Split Instrument Track. Split an instrument track into separate audio and MIDI tracks. The
audio and MIDI tracks will remain assigned to the same software instrument (only available for
Instrument tracks).
• Bounce to Track(s). Combine one or more audio tracks into a submix.
• Clone Track(s). Copy the selected track(s). You can choose to include events, properties,
sends, and/or effects in the copied track(s), and specify a destination.
• Delete Track(s). Delete the selected track(s), including all its track properties and all its clips
and events. SONAR does not put deleted information on the clipboard for later copying.
• Wipe Track(s). Delete track contents but leave track properties intact. SONAR does not put
wiped information on the clipboard for later copying.
• Copy Track Name(s) to Clip Name(s). Copy track names to clips in corresponding tracks.
• Hide Track(s). Hide all selected tracks. To display them again, select Tracks > Track Manager
or press H on your keyboard to open the Track Manager dialog.
