@robvk6

Do you mean the large transport bar?

Simply go to View / Toolbars / Large Transport bar.

good luck

This made things a lot easier for me. I used to manually enter notes, move them to where I needed them and then enter manual values for the wheel. Not anymore!

Compressing an audio track will make the loud parts quieter. This evens out the peaks and makes the whole track more uniform. To do this, right click in the FX bin of the audio track and select a compressor from the list.

See how to insert FX in the bin by watching @ the 2 minute mark in my video called "Sonar Fades and FX"

good luck

@dustypuppy And how about compressing an audio track? What does that mean and how can you do that?

Open Sonar and highlight an audio track.

Go to File / Import / Audio to load an audio file into Sonar.

Or arm an audio track and record it live.

I hope this helps
