Clip groups
Arranging and editing
• [Mute Entire Clips mode] Lasso-selecting will mute clips that are touched by the lasso as well
as other clips in the same group that intersect the lasso time range.
• [Mute Time Ranges mode] Selecting a range will mute all clips in the group that intersect that
time range.
• [Isolate mode] Isolate mode does not follow clip groups for clips that live in the same track.
SONAR can automatically create a new clip group when splitting clips in an existing clip group. To
specify the split behavior, follow these steps:
1. Go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Editing.
2. Under Clips, select the When splitting clips in groups, create new groups check box.
For more information about splitting clips, see “Splitting and combining clips” on page 365.
Copying and pasting grouped clips
When you copy and paste clips that belong to a clip group, you can specify if the pasted clips should
be placed in a new clip group or continue to be grouped with the original clip group. By default, a
new clip group is created. You can change the behavior by adding the following line to the [WinCake]
section of the Cakewalk.ini file:
[WinCake]
CreateNewGroupsOnPaste=1
The values are as follows:
0 = The pasted clips will belong to the same clip group as the clips that were copied.
1 = A new clip group is created for the pasted clips. This is the default behavior.
To view and edit the Cakewalk.ini file, go to Edit > Preferences > File - Initialization File.
For more information about the Cakewalk.ini file, see “Initialization files” on page 1287.
Note: Muting a time range is limited to one track or take lane at a time.
