The track status is saved with the SONAR project file. If you save a SONAR
project as a Standard MIDI File, however, all tracks are saved without mute, solo,
or archive indicators.
The Playback State Toolbar
To display the Playback State toolbar, use the View-Toolbars command to open
the Toolbars dialog box, and make sure Playback State is checked. The Playback
State toolbar is a global control that allows you to mute or unmute, solo or unsolo,
arm or disarm, and toggle the input echo status of all tracks.
Silencing Tracks
When a track is muted, SONAR processes the track while playback is in progress
so that you can unmute the track without stopping playback. If you have lots of
muted tracks, this can place a heavy load on your computer. Archived tracks, on
the other hand, don’t place any load on your computer. Therefore, if there are
tracks you want to keep but don’t need to play, you should archive them instead.
Archived tracks are indicated by the letter A in the Mute button that is displayed
in the Track and Console views.
When you mute or unmute a track while playback is in progress, there may be a
slight delay before you hear the effect of the change. This is to be expected and
does not indicate a hardware or software problem.
