Arming tracks for recording

SONAR lets you record any number of tracks at one time. You indicate the tracks you want to record by arming the tracks. You can arm a single track or several tracks at one time. Each track records material received though its selected input. Whenever a track is armed, not only does the track’s R button turn red, but the Clips pane that’s to the right of that track’s controls turns a reddish hue.

To arm one or more tracks for recording

Click the track’s Arm for Recording button .

Note: To see the Arm for Recording button in the Track Inspector and Console view, make sure the MSR module is visible.

To arm several tracks at the same time, select one or more tracks, then hold down the CTRL key and click any selected track’s Arm for Recording button .

A track’s Arm button turns red to indicate that the track is armed for recording.

To disarm all tracks at once

Click the Arm / Disarm All Tracks button in the Control Bar’s Mix module, or press CTRL+R.
