Loop Construction View
One of the new features in SONAR, the Loop Construction view, gives
you an easy way to create your own sample loops. These loops, which
are digital audio clips designed to be played over and over again, can be
used to construct entire songs. While you’re working with the Loop
Construction view, you see the sound wave of your loop, as in Figure 2.7.
Not only does the Loop Construction view allow you to create your own
sample loops, but you can even use ACID-compatible loops, like the
loops found in Sonic Foundry’s ACID software. In Chapter 9, I’ll get into
more detail about the Loop Construction view.
Console View
When you’re ready to mix all your MIDI and audio tracks down to a
single stereo file, you can use the Console view. This tool is made to look
and function like a real recording studio mixing console, as you can see
in Figure 2.8.
