Playing the project

Now that all of the track’s outputs are set to the appropriate device, the next step is to play the project to make sure it can be heard and sounds right.

Locate the Control Bar at the top of SONAR’s screen.

The Control Bar contains many useful functions related to projects in SONAR. To learn more about the Control Bar, see Control Bar overview. For now, simply click the Play button to hear the project.

Experiment with the Mute and Solo buttons on each track. If you solo multiple tracks, you will hear all the soloed tracks. If you mute any tracks, they will not be heard.

Tip: You can also use your keyboard’s SPACEBAR key to start and stop playback in SONAR.

Once you are done listening, click the Stop button .
