![]() ![]() There's also an indicator that shows how many Audio, MIDI, DXi and hidden tracks are within the Folder. You won't see actual waveforms or MIDI notes, but the strip colours will be the same as the tracks they represent.Īs a Track Folder obviously won't have the same controls as a normal individual track (although you can mute it, solo it, record into a Track Folder, and archive it), expanding the space below the track header lets you write notes on what's in the track. However, note that you cannot drag a Track Folder into another Track Folder.Ĭlicking on the Track Folder's folder icon shows and hides the contents, although most of the time you'll probably leave it closed, as you can still see strips representing the various tracks inside the folder without the folder's contents being properly shown. Once the Track Folder appears, you can stuff it with whatever tracks you want (MIDI, DXi, Audio, even 'frozen' tracks) by clicking on a track's icon and dragging it into the Track Folder. You create a Track Folder as you would any other track - from the Insert menu, or by right-clicking on an empty space in the track view and selecting 'Insert Track Folder'. Sonar was late coming to the 'folder track' party, but the implementation in Version 4 has made up for lost time. I will venture one opinion: It's well worth the upgrade cost - this is definitely not dribbleware, but a significantly different version, compared to Sonar 3, that offers both major and minor enhancements. If you want the spec on what's new, a quick trip to will fill you in. Sonar 4 is out, and as SOS will be reviewing it in a future issue I thought we'd jump right into applications. Organise your tracks with Sonar 4 's Track Folder feature, nudge them into place with sample accuracy, and reclaim older plug-ins for use in newer versions of Sonar. This is a real time-saver for slip-editing, creating send controls for all tracks in the Folder, and so on. Track Folders are a great way to organise tracks, but can also be useful because editing performed on the Track Folder can affect all the tracks within the Folder.
