Sonar Home Studio (4.0.1)
Windows 10 PC
 
I am trying to set up Aria Player with Sonar, am instructed to adjust certain settings in the Preferences tab, but I CANNOT FIND IT. Can anyone tell me where to access the preferences tab in Sonar Home Studio?
 
Thanks!
 

Hi.
Shortcut for preferences is "P". That will open the whole preferences/settings menu.
All the best.

In the new version it is a tab found by the Lens tab. 
Edit
Forget it I see your using a real old version. 
 
 

In Home Studio, all those settings might be under Options in the main menu as they were in older versions of Pro Audio/SONAR. Presuming that the main one you're looking for is to disable 'Zero Controllers When Playback Stops', that would be under Options > Project > MIDI Out in the old scheme.

Thanks much, well I still simply could not find it anywhere at all,. so decided to upgrade to the latest version I see online:
 
Sonar Home Studio 23.9.0 BUILD 32 [2017.09] - x64
 
(which curiously, can only be accessed as a demo - I am unable to find anywhere how I can authorize/upgrade ...???)
 
anyhow, in Preferences itself, I see the file I am looking for under the tab File/VST Settings, but I cannot hear any VST sounds in any *wrk piece I load .. or find out how/where I can configure the sounds to be available?
 
I have ARIA Player fully installed and usable w/Finale, how can I get Sonar to "see" these sounds?
 
gulp looked everywhere  ... any advice is greatly appreciated.
