Help - Sonar creating additional "primary" tracks on its own?

Newbie here, having a prob with additional tracks being created seemignly automatically by sonar and coudln't find this topic in the existing posts.    I'm Using Sonar 8 and it seems to be creating additional tracks labeled "primary" attached to some of my existing synth tracks.  Can't seem to figure out what I may be doing to cause this... i.e. am I taking some action that is causing sonar to create more tracks?  But it seems to happen randomly on its own.  For example I have created a rythm guitar track in Real Guitar 2.  After fiddling with some editing, 4 new tracks labeled "Real Guitar 2 primary" have magically appeared.  Anyone know what's going on here.  Appreciate some advice.

Thanks for the quick suggestions guys.  Just launched my home studio based around studio 8 and just getting the hang of working the program... seems to have its nuances,  Anyway, Raffi, I do notice it creating a folder and then some sub tracks within the folder when I insert a new synth track, I think I get why it does that and seems ok and that doesnt appear to be the issue.  I tried to isolate what fiddling caused the new tracks to appear and one example is:  I moved a track that I had previously recorded (using the synth Real Guitar 2 - a basic strumming pattern/progression) by dragging two of the clips in the track forward to an earlier part of the song.  After I moved the clips 2 new tracks appeared at the bottom of my tracks (not under the original guitar track but all the way at the bottom of my track list) called "Real Guitar 2 - primary".  when fiddling with these new tracks it seems that the volume levels are somehow connected to the original kind of duplicating it so if I increase or decrease the volume in either the original or the new track even it increases the colume of the clip, actually the two levels mix together... even tho there are no clips/music in the new/dupe tracks.

Further thoughts?


Hi Squo,
This is probably not the cause, but it's worth checking: when you insert you soft synth and the VST options box pops up, do you have "all synth audio Outputs" selected? And possibly these are in a synth track folder, which is why you initially have one track but then when you are editing, the folder is opened and your multiple tracks appear....

Thanks Bitflipper, hope it will help Squo but it looks like there might almost be some track cloning going on somehow...

Thanks guys, interesting thoughts.  My short term solution is simply deleting the extra tracks and in most cases its not causing any problems.
 
P.S.  this is a great active forum!
