Soloing Tracks
Sometimes you want to hear a single track, or a few tracks at once, without having to mute all the other
tracks. You can do this by soloing the tracks you want to hear.
As soon as any track is marked as a solo track, SONAR ignores all mute settings (unless a soloed track
is also muted—mute takes precedence over solo) and plays only the track or tracks that are set to solo.
Any number of tracks at one time can be marked as solo. All these tracks will play together. As soon as
the solo status of the final solo track is turned off, SONAR once again plays back tracks based on their
mute settings.
To Solo or Unsolo Individual Tracks
•
To solo or unsolo a track, click the Solo button in the Track or Console view
•
To solo or unsolo several tracks at once, select the tracks and choose Track-Solo, or right-click,
and choose Solo from the popup menu.
To Unsolo All Tracks
•
Click the S button in the Playback State toolbar or the Solo label in the Status bar.
To Solo All Tracks
•
If no tracks are currently soloed, click the S button in the Playback State toolbar.
Or
•
Select all tracks, and then use the Track-Solo command.
Inverting the Phase of a Track
A waveform's exact opposite is called an inversion. It is a shift of 180 degrees. A waveform and its
inversion cancel each other out completely, so it is usually not desirable to have two track recordings of
the same source if one is phase inverted. It can lead to reduced volume, lowered or distorted response in
certain frequencies, or even silence in the case of two tracks which are exactly identical (i.e. cloned
tracks).
Occasionally, for example when recording a source using two microphones, one of the microphones may
be recording an inversion of the other, the resulting tracks may, to some degree, be cancelling each other
out. SONAR allows you to invert the phase of a track to match another.
To Invert the Phase of a Track
1.
Open the Track view or Console view.
2.
In the track you want to invert the phase, click the phase inversion button
Changing Tracks' Mono/Stereo Status
SONAR has a mono/stereo button in each track module in the Track and Console views. The buttons in
the track modules force each track to play in either stereo or mono, but preserve the tracks' pan
positions in the stereo mix.
The Mono/Stereo button in each track forces the track's audio signal to enter any patched plug-ins as
either mono or stereo, whether or not the tracks are mono or stereo. This allows you to use either mono
effects on a stereo track or stereo effects on a mono track.
