To Pause Playback - CAKEWALK SONAR User Manual

Now time
The Now time is also shown in the Transport toolbar, both in MBT (measure/beat/tick) format and in
time code format (hour/minute/second/frame). During playback, the Now time increases in accordance
with the progress of the project.
You can set the Now time of the project by clicking in the Time Ruler in the Clips pane, or (when
playback is stopped) by dragging the Now time slider in the Large Transport toolbar.
While you are playing the project, you may want to keep an eye on the Now time. The Big Time view
displays the Now time in a large font so you can more easily see it from a distance. To open this view,
choose View-Big Time. You can change the time format displayed in the Big Time window by clicking
on it. You can change its font by right-clicking on it.
To Restart the Project
When SONAR gets to the end of the project, it stops. By default SONAR will rewind to the Now Time
marker after you stop playback or recording. To play the project again, do the following:
1. If the Now time marker is at a measure other than the first, click the Rewind button
w to go back to the first measure.
2. Click the Play button, or press the Spacebar.

To Pause Playback

• To temporarily pause playback, hit Ctrl-Spacebar. By default, hitting just the Spacebar or Stop
or Play will rewind the project to the Now time marker rather than pausing at the current
Now time. However, you can change the Now time marker behavior so that the marker moves to
the current Now time when playback or recording is stopped (use the Options-Global command;
on the General tab uncheck On Stop, Rewind to Now Marker).
Certain SONAR functions can only be used when the project is paused. If a function or command does
not seem to work, try pausing the project
