My Pro Audio 9 Files Sound Louder/Softer
When I Open Them in SONAR
Pro Audio 9 has a setting in the Audio Options dialog box called MIDI Volume
Mapping. This setting determines how many dB that a movement of a volume
fader produces. This setting is not stored in each project file, so SONAR can’t tell
precisely what dB scale was used to produce the file you’re opening. If the volume
sounds incorrect:
1. Open SONAR’s
AUD.INI file (find it in your SONAR folder and double-click it).
2. Change the line that says VolMethod= “N.” If N=1, change N to 0; if N=0,
change N to 1.
3. Save the file and close it.
4. Reopen the Pro Audio file in SONAR. If the volume sounds correct, save the
file in Sonar.
5. If other Pro Audio 9 files were opening correctly in SONAR, change the
VoMethod=N line in SONAR’s
AUD.INI file back to what it originally was, and
re-save the file.
I Can’t Open My Project
Your project may have become corrupted, or SONAR is attempting to use a plug-in
that is not longer on your system. You can attempt to open the project using Safe
Mode.
To Use Safe Mode
• If you are opening a file from the Most Recently Used files list in the File
menu, hold down the Shift key while selecting file name.
• If you are opening the file from the Open dialog, select the file in the dialog
and hold down the Shift key while clicking the OK button.
Safe Mode does the following:
• Opens only the Track view.
• Prompts you if you want to open the plug-ins saved with your project.
Each plug-in gets a prompt, so you can open some and not open others.
I hear more than one sound when
I play a DXi.
• Make sure your MIDI controller is set to local off.
