Take management and comping takes
When the option is first enabled, SONAR moves all overlapping clips in the affected tracks to
separate layers, and displays Mute and Solo buttons on the Track Scale for each layer.
A. Track Layers Mute and Solo on/off buttons
After the option is enabled, you can move clips on top of each other without creating new layers. To
move overlapping clips back into separate layers, use the Rebuild command (see below).
To mute or unmute one or more layers
• On the Track Scale, click the M button that’s at the same vertical level as the layer you want to
mute or unmute. You can drag across multiple mute buttons to mute or unmute multiple layers.
Note: If you mute a layer and then disable the Show Layers feature, the Track Scale displays a
small blue indicator to show that a hidden layer is muted:

Note 1: If you want to move a clip to the exact same time placement in an adjacent layer, hold
the SHIFT key down while you drag.
Note 2: If the Track view Options > Auto Crossfade option is enabled, SONAR adds a
crossfade between any newly overlapped clips that are on the same layer.
