Take lanes and comping takes
To edit a specific Take lane control across multiple tracks
Quick Groups allow you to effortlessly adjust identical controls across the same Take lane in different
tracks. For example, you can quickly mute all Take lanes named T2. You can Quick Group the Mute,
Solo, Arm for Recording and Edit Filter controls. Quick Groups can either affect all tracks, or only
selected tracks of the same type. You hold down the CTRL key to momentarily create a Quick
Group.
Quick Groups operate on lanes with the same original name across different tracks, not in lanes on
the same track. All Take lanes remember their original name, even if you rename the lanes. For
example, all Take lanes originally named T2 are grouped, even if some of them have been renamed.
Do one of the following:
• To adjust the same control in all tracks. Hold down the CTRL key and adjust a control in a
track that is not selected. SONAR automatically adjusts the same control in all other tracks.
• To adjust the same control in selected tracks. Select the tracks you want to adjust, then hold
down the CTRL key and adjust a control in any selected track. SONAR automatically adjusts the
same control in all other selected tracks of the same type.
For example, to change the Edit Filter on all Take lanes originally named T2, select the tracks you
want to include in the Quick Group, then hold down the CTRL key while you adjust the Edit Filter
control on any selected lane named T2.
When you adjust controls in a Quick Group, each affected control displays a temporary group color.
