External Insert plug-in (Producer and Studio only)

The purpose of the External Insert plug-in is to route audio to and from existing I/O ports in SONAR,

allowing an external audio device to be effectively patched into any effects bin. This allows you to

seamlessly incorporate your favorite outboard gear in a SONAR project.

The External Insert plug-in is able to measure and automatically compensate for the round-trip delay

through your audio hardware (the time it takes for the audio to exit you computer, be processed by

your external audio hardware and finally returned to the computer).

External Insert interface

The left-hand side contains the hardware/external Send controls and the right-hand side contains

the hardware/external Return controls.

Send Stereo Mode buttons:

• L (Left). This toggle enables/disables the left channel send output (enabled by default).

• R (Right). This toggle enables/disables the right channel send output (enabled by default).

• Mono. This toggle sums the stereo signal to make it dual-mono so the send output has the

same audio on the left and right channels.

Send Level. This is a +/- 24dB trim to the level that is passed to the external send. This parameter

is automatable.
