Controlling Playback
When you play your SONAR project, you have full control over the tempo or speed
of playback, which tracks are played, which sound cards or other devices are used
to produce the sound, and what the tracks sound like.
SONAR’s multi-MIDI enhancements give you the ability to play multiple synths or
tracks from a single keyboard or controller, or let multiple performers play the
same or different tracks. You have total control over MIDI echo (MIDI echo refers
to where MIDI input signals are sent once SONAR receives them).
Note: SONAR has a button called the Audio Engine button in the Transport
toolbar which you click to stop any feedback you may experience if there is a loop
somewhere in your mixer setup. Whenever you play a project, SONAR
automatically enables the audio engine, which you can tell by watching the Status
bar—whenever the audio engine is running, the Audio Running indicator in the
Status bar lights up.
