78 Introduction
SONAR basics
The Inspector pane appears to the left of the Track view, but can also be moved to the right side.
There are three separate inspectors:
• Track Inspector. The Track Inspector shows mix settings for the current track, bus, or main,
and is essentially identical to a channel strip in the Console view. Advanced MIDI settings are also
available for MIDI tracks and Instrument tracks. For details, see “Track Inspector overview” on
page 576.
• Properties Inspector. The Properties Inspector shows properties for the selected clip(s) or
track(s). For details, see “Properties Inspector overview” on page 592. The Properties Inspector
has two modes:
• Clip. The Clip Properties Inspector displays settings for the currently selected clip(s). For
details, see “Properties Inspector - Clip Properties” on page 594.
• Track. The Track Properties Inspector lets you type a track name, specify an audio track’s
AudioSnap render modes, specify the default clip colors, and enter a text description. For
details, see “Properties Inspector - Track Properties” on page 600.
• ProChannel (Producer only). ProChannel combines compression, equalization, and tube
saturation modeling in one convenient processor. ProChannel is available on each audio track,
Instrument track and bus. For details, see “ProChannel (Producer and Studio only)” on page 999.
