Arranging tracks

SONAR provides a variety of commands that let you work with the tracks in your project. Here are

some of the things you can do:

All the commands you use to arrange tracks work on selected tracks. The current track (the one with

the lighter titlebar) is always selected. You can select additional tracks as shown in the following

table.

You can Here’s why

Rearrange the tracks in the Track

view so that they appear in a

different order

This makes it easier to see and work with a subset of tracks, like the

rhythm section, or the vocals and vocal backing tracks, or all muted tracks.

Hide individual tracks This makes it easier to work in a large project. You can display only the

tracks you want to see at a given time.

Move tracks into a track folder Lets you group tracks by function, edit several tracks at once, hide groups

of tracks easily, and mute, solo, archive, arm, or input monitor a group or

tracks with one click. See “Track folders” on page 363 for more

information.

Make copies of a track Copying a track and then adding a time offset or changing the patch is an

easy way to double a part. You can also copy and then transpose a track to

add harmony.

Erase or delete a track Tracks and clips that you are no longer using in your project are distracting

and take up space in your project file.
