Long note problem

Have choir holding a chord about 2 minutes while playing other short stuff over it. Problem is getting volume/attack balance over the choir when a minute in. I have to go back and play the thing for a minute to try it out for every edit. Is there a way to get sonar to go back to beginning and play that opening chord even though It's starting 40 measures into the piece?

It's midi and synth sounds right now.

Thanks
John

Hmmm just figured out I can bounce the choir. Will try that

    Is it because the 2-minute chord is one long set of MIDI notes, and if you start playback 40 measures in there is no sound from the synth? If that's the case, bounce the synth to audio first, and draw volume automation as necessary to achieve the desired balance. (You can't use the more convenient freeze operation for this because any automation you add to a frozen track disappears after un-freezing. However, you can freeze the synth, then drag the frozen audio to a new track and mute the frozen track. Almost as convenient.)



    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    It's one note (4 notes for the chord) 134 quarters long with 60 quarters a minute. I just bounced it to an audio track and it works fine for what I need. I would have deleted my questions if I knew how. And yes, using midi if I start 5 measures in the synth (Philharmonik) isn't triggered so no sound.

    What you can do is change your thread title to include "Solved" It's not necessary to delete your thread as it now has become helpful to others. These threads get brought up in Search's by people with similar issues from all over the internet.Try it, go enter your question and I bet it will show. So it's good to have a solution as easy as Dave's to find. This is what the forum is all about. I hate it when people start a thread, ask a question, and never let us know what worked. Kinda rude.
