Loop Recording

Choose one of the following loop recording options:

• Store Takes in a Single Track. Choosing this option causes SONAR to merge every new take

with the previous takes, unless you choose Comping or Overwrite mode, which mutes each take

except the newest one.

• Store Takes in Separate Tracks. Choosing this option causes SONAR to place each new take

in the next available track. This method can quickly overwhelm your computer if you are recording

audio data.

Lanes

• Create New Lane On Overlap. If you have the Expand/collapse Take Lanes button on a

track enabled, and you record one clip so that it overlaps another clip, the clips appear in different

take lanes when this option is enabled.

Multi-track grouping

You can specify how clips should be grouped when recording multiple tracks simultaneously. The

following options are available:

• Group all clips. All clips that are recorded at the same time are placed in a clip group.

• Group only clips in folders (default). All clips in folders are grouped. Different folders have

different groups. Tracks not in folders are not grouped.

• Do not group tracks. Each new take will belong to a different clip group if loop recording is

enabled.

For more information, see “Clip groups” on page 361.
