• Formant Scaling (disabled unless Stretch Audio is checked). (this is a SONAR
Producer feature only) possible values range from -2.000 to 2.000 octaves. Formants give a
voice its characteristic sound. If you find that changing the length of your audio changes the
timbre too much, you can raise or lower the formant to try and maintain the characteristics of
the sound.

Freeze Options dialog
The Freeze Options dialog box has the following options:
Fast Bounce
When checked, SONAR bounces to tracks as fast as your computer will allow. If unchecked,
bouncing to tracks happens in real time. Uncheck this option if you are using a synth that only works
in real time. This option is checked by default.
Hide MIDI Tracks
Check this box if you want the MIDI tracks associated with your synth to be hidden when the synth is
frozen.
Single Bounce Per Track
Check this if you want to create a single clip for all the bounced audio. If you don’t check this, each
separate clip on a track creates a separate clip when you freeze the track.
Remove Silence
If you checked the previous option, you can check this box and adjust settings in the Remove
Silence dialog box to remove silence in a frozen track. Checking this option will create separate
clips from a single clip that has areas of silence in it.
