Controlling playback

Track-by-track playback

While playback is in progress, you can mute and unmute tracks in any combination, which means

you can hear only the tracks that you want. You can change the status of a track in the Track view,

the Console view, the Track Inspector, or the Mix module in the Control Bar.

If a track is both muted and soloed, it does not play. Mute has precedence.

The track status is saved with the SONAR project file. If you save a SONAR project as a standard

MIDI File, however, all tracks are saved without mute, solo, or archive indicators.

“The Mix module” on page 192

The Mix module

The Mix module lets you configure various playback settings. You can quickly mute/unmute, solo/

unsolo and arm/disarm all tracks. You can also configure automation settings and specify the solo

behavior.

To show/hide the Mix module

Right-click the Control Bar and select Mix Module.
