I wonder what would happen if this project was imported into a blank project then check (track 8?).
Would the trouble follow or clear up.

You probably have...................but did you try starting it in safe mode?

Good thought. Since I have completed recording on this tune, and I'm really under pressure to finish up a bunch of other stuff I'll have to experiment with that at a later date. It will be interesting to see what happens, though. Thanks for the idea.

You mean Windows? Or does Splat have a safe mode that I don't know about? lol  Well, I rebooted Windows several times, but generally I don't reboot into safe mode unless Windows itself is acting up. Since only one track on this particular project was being weird, it seemed like a simple reboot might help, but eventually I just threw in the towel because it was eating up more time looking for the root of the problem than just working around it & getting the job done. Although, it would be nice to figure this out someday. For now, I'm trying to let go of it and finish up some other songs. But thanks for the suggestion, just the same. :-)

Yes Sonar does have a safe mode and it has saved me a lot of problems in the past.
 
"When opening a project, hold down the Shift key on your computer keyboard. This tells SONAR to open the project in Safe Mode."

Holy sh!tzola! Seriously, I had no idea! This is why I come to this forum, 'cuz somebody will have an idea that might help, that hours of scouring the documentation has somehow escaped my notice. I will give that a shot, since it will only take a few seconds to experiment & check, and it's worth having an answer. Thanks for the tip!

Hey Z1812, that totally worked! I opened the project with Sonar safe mode, tried recording a little loop on track 8, waveform appeared, all takes were muted as new ones were recorded. Then I dumped the test recordings, shut the project without saving changes, opened it normally & tried the experiment again. Everything works as it should!
 
I can't believe I didn't know about the Splat safe mode. Thank you!

You are very welcome!! I know the frustration of dealing with the oddities Sonar can sometimes throw at you.
This forum has helped me a lot and I am very happy if I can help someone too.

As far as the "uh" goes, I've had similar exeriences. Almost surely the result of 2 or more tracks merging at one point creating an odd sound.

Ears are good at playing tricks on you.

One such instance resulted in a "happy accident" which I tried to recreate.

To narrow it down you need to solo a suspect track while soloing the rest one by one.

If you reread what I wrote (I know, I was pretty verbose in that post, lol) you'll see that I did find the source. Two guitar tracks cause it. The "unh" is not there on any one track, but when these two particular tracks are soloed or unmuted it is there. And like your one instance, it's kind of a happy accident; it fits the tune, so I'm leaving it alone.
 
It's good to know that I'm not the only one who has experienced, though. Thanks for posting!

There's a known phenomena in orchestrated music called Combination Tone where 2 or more instruments playing different notes collide forming sounds not produced by either one of them.
