Arranging
The Track view makes it easy to arrange and mix your projects from a single view.
From one location, you can select, copy, move, mix, and rearrange the parts of your
project, using menu commands or drag-and-drop tools. You can add real-time audio
and MIDI effects from the Effects bin and buses. Markers provide easy-to-use
reference points and labels for the different parts of your project, and the Snap
Grid makes it easy to align your clips to the desired time points. Slip Editing
allows you to non-destructively change the start and/or end time of a clip, just by
dragging its borders. With Slip Editing, you can easily create repetitions of your
clips using your mouse. Both the Track view and Console view have a full set of
record and playback meters, which you can configure in several ways. SONAR™
also has a variety of tools and commands for changing the tempo of your project.
Composite tracks allow you to keep all your takes in one track if you want, and
selectively mute and solo the various clips in the track. Track folders let you edit
multiple tracks at once and conserve screen space.
