I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear. Is there a way of making a begining and end time for the project? I know how to export the project to a final wave. That is not the problem.
As in the above pic, my global setiings are the same. But how do I set the end time so Sonar knows were to stop? For example: My project ends at 202:01:000 but Sonar keeps playing until 234:01:000.
There may be a way to manually set an end time but I'm not aware of it. As far as I know this is set automatically. What you might try is select all with the cursor where you want the project to end and then use the split tool, or press s, to split the project there. Then click and drag the timeline to the right past where it is stopping and then hit delete. There must be something there that may not be visible but is part of the project. Could be automation as timidi suggests. Could be something else.
Make sure that the looping and punch-in tools are not enabled and that their ranges do not extend past where you want the project to stop.
