Initialization files
This appendix documents three initialization files, which are stored in the SONAR program folder (by
default, C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\SONAR X3.
• Cakewalk.ini
• TTSseq.ini
• Aud.ini
To view and edit the Cakewalk.ini file, choose Edit > Preferences > File - Initialization File. To
view and edit the Audi.ini file, choose Edit > Preferences > Audio - Configuration File. You
can use Windows Notepad to open and alter any of the three files. There are several other .ini files in
the SONAR folder, but you should not attempt to edit or modify these files in any way. Changes to
these other files could cause SONAR to stop operating properly.
Before making any changes to any of the .ini files, you should make a backup copy in case you
make a mistake. After you have made your changes, save the file and close Notepad. SONAR reads
the settings in these files only when it first starts up. Therefore, if you change any settings while
SONAR is running, you should exit and restart SONAR in order for the changes to take effect.
