GapDezipperUsec=<0-1000> Integer 500 The audio engine will now render a smooth fade in
whenever audio playback is interrupted and there is a
abrupt transition in gain. The purpose of doing this is to
dezipper (smooth out) the gain transition due to the
discontinuity. For example, if you click on the time ruler
to jump to a new time location during playback, the
engine will smoothly render the transition to the new
gain level as a fade in. This smoothing also takes place
whenever playback gapping occurs. You can control the
fade in time via the GapDezipperUsec variable, which
is expressed in microseconds per dB and controls the
speed of the fade in to the new gain value. (default =
500 microseconds. i.e. the fade will take 500
microseconds per change in dB at the transition point).
You may increase or shorten the time of the fade by
increasing or decreasing this value. The normal legal
value range for this variable is 0 to 1000 microseconds.
This variable should be set in the [Wave] section. A
value of zero turns off dezippering on gapping
completely.
MixDezipperUsec=<0-1000> Integer 50 This variable is similar to GapDezipperUsec except
that it controls how the mixer itself renders abrupt gain
transitions due to envelopes in the project. This variable
is expressed in microseconds per dB and controls the
speed of the fade in to the new gain value (default = 50
microseconds). The normal legal value range for this
variable is 0 to 1000 microseconds.
This variable should be set in the [Wave] section.
Important: Changing the value of this variable will
affect how envelopes are rendered by the mixer and
may cause your mixes to sound slightly different.
Setting MixDezipperUsec too low can cause clicks
while rendering abrupt gain changes due to envelopes.
AllowOfflineRenderMixThreads=
<0 or 1>
Boolean 1 A value of 1 (default) allows multiprocessing during fast
bounce when multiprocessing is enabled in SONAR.
Set to 0 to temporarily disable multi-threaded mixing
mixing during a fast bounce operation.
LinkPFSendMute=<0 or 1> Boolean 0 If this is set TRUE, pre fader sends on both tracks and
buses are automatically muted when the track/bus is
muted. Also if another track is soloed the pre fader
sends on other tracks will be muted.
This basically conforms to pre SONAR 4 behavior.
