3. Choose the order in which to sort from the Order list.
4. Click OK.
SONAR sorts the tracks according to the settings you chose.
Inserting tracks
You can insert new tracks by a variety of methods. When you insert multiple tracks, you can set track
output properties at the same time. If you want new audio tracks to always use the same output bus,
you can set that bus as the default bus.
For step-by-step instructions, follow these procedures:
To insert a single track
Do one of the following:
• Click the Insert menu and choose Audio Track or MIDI Track.
• Right-click in the Track pane at the place where you want to insert a track, and select Insert
Audio Track to add an audio track or Insert MIDI Track to add a MIDI track.
• Press INSERT to add a track of the same type (audio or MIDI) as the current track.
SONAR shifts the current track and all tracks below it down by one, and inserts a blank, new track at
the location of the highlight.
Selected If you choose this attribute, SONAR puts all the selected tracks at either the top or bottom of
the Tracks window, depending on whether you choose descending (top) or ascending
(bottom) in the Order list.
Size If you choose this attribute, SONAR puts the tracks in order by size, either in descending or
ascending order.
Output If you choose this attribute, SONAR sorts the tracks by output number, either in descending
or ascending order. SONAR considers non-numbered outputs to have lower numbers than
numbered outputs.
Channel If you choose this attribute, SONAR sorts the tracks by channel number, either in
descending or ascending order:
• If you choose ascending order, SONAR puts all MIDI tracks at the bottom of the Tracks
window, with the lower channel numbers first.
• If you choose descending order, SONAR puts all MIDI tracks at the top of the Tracks
window, with the higher channel numbers first.
