this project.
Loop Recording
If you'd like to record several takes successively, you can set up SONAR to loop over the entire project,
or just some section of it. SONAR will record a new take during each loop, storing that take in a new
clip. You can set SONAR to place each clip in a new track or to pile all clips in one track.
Let's try recording a few takes of the first four measures of a project, placing each take in a new track.
Setting Up Looping

1.
Click the down arrow in the Snap to Grid combo button

2.
In the Snap to Grid dialog box, click the Musical Time button and select Measure from the list of
durations. In the Mode field, select Move To, and click OK to close the dialog box.
Now you can only select exact one-measure blocks of time in the Time Ruler, which is located at the
