Track-by-track playback

Controlling playback

Sometimes you want to hear a single track, or a few tracks at once, without having to mute all the

other tracks. You can do this by soloing the tracks you want to hear.

As soon as any track is marked as a solo track, SONAR ignores all mute settings (unless a soloed

track is also muted—mute takes precedence over solo) and plays only the track or tracks that are

set to solo. Any number of tracks at one time can be marked as solo. All these tracks will play

together. As soon as the solo status of the final solo track is turned off, SONAR once again plays

back tracks based on their mute settings.

To solo or unsolo individual tracks

• To solo or unsolo a track, click its Solo button in the Track, Console view or Track Inspector.

• To solo or unsolo several tracks at once, select the tracks and do one of the following:

• Right-click a track strip and choose MSR > Solo on the pop-up menu.

• To solo all selected tracks of the same track type, hold down the CTRL key and click any

selected track’s Solo button .

• To solo all tracks, hold down the CTRL key and click any non-selected track’s Solo button .
