How to do certain things in Sonar X1.. can't seem to figure them out!
Hello, I have been evaluating the trial version of Sonar X1 one for a few days, and have developed some questions while doing so. Unforfunately, I have come against a lot of bugs as well--I dont know if the trial version is still the original X1, or if updates have been patched onto the trial as well. Anywho, I did look at the 1850 page reference manual, but couldn't figure out the following:
1) How do I keep certain setting changes to remain after I close Sonar so that they reappear when I open the program up again? For example, I love the Aim Assist Line which can be activated by hitting the X key. However, it never shows up when I re-open Sonar. Any way to keep it permament? No biggie, just wondering...
2) How do I delete track(s) without having to right-click the track and click "delete track"? Is there a faster way? Clicking a track and hitting the delete key does not delete the track.
3) How do I delete a synth from the synth rack without having to click the drop-down arrow on the synth tab in the browser and click "delete synth"? Is there a faster way?
4) How do I set the default folder for my Media Browser, so that it shows that folder in the browser upon startup? I have one folder in my computer that I keep all my music stuff in, and I hate having to manually browse for that folder each time I start up Sonar...
5) Be unchecking "simultaneous vertical/horiz zoom" in zoom options, I can zoom horiz by alt+ctr+scroll, and vertically by alt+scroll. But when I alt+scroll, it vertically zooms only the one track that my mouse cursos is on. Any way to zoom the entire track view (all tracks equally) vertically using the mouse wheel? Again, no big deal if you can't...
6) Every time I switch headphones, or plug in my speakers--basically anytime something come in/out of my computer's audio jack--I get a pop-up saying:
"The above Audio/MIDI device was disconnected from your system. Would you like SONAR to reroute these outputs to an available device? Clicking 'No' allows SONAR to remember output settings to this device. Note: If playback is in progress, clicking 'Yes" will stop the transport."
Is there a way to keep that pop-up from coming up each time? I wish there was a "Don't ask me again" checkbox on that popup...
7) Is it possible to show busses and master bus in track view with the other tracks instead of in its own section on the bottom?
THANKS everyone in advance for your help!
