==Track Icons==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These track icons are yours for the taking. Just download them into SONAR's ''TrackIcons'' folder, or any subfolder thereof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''IMPORTANT: The in-line images you see on this page are PNGs can ''NOT'' be used in SONAR -- SONAR can ''only'' use BMP files.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''To get the BMP files for use in SONAR, click on the &amp;quot;Get SONAR-Compatible BMP File&amp;quot; text links, or right click on these same text links and select &amp;quot;Save Target As...&amp;quot; or similar. Do ''NOT'' click on the pictures themselves.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(We would have put the BMPs directly on the site, but wikis don't allow these space-wasting files to be uploaded, hence the need for an external link. This is the best kluge we could find).&lt;br /&gt;

==Drum Maps==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You'll undoubtedly have to make a few changes to drum maps made on other systems, such as choosing a MIDI port suitable for your project. To do this the easy way, select all list items in the ''Drum Map Manager'' and then choose the new value by holding down CTRL+SHFT while using the mouse.&lt;br /&gt;

==Track Icons==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These track icons are yours for the taking. Just download them into SONAR's ''TrackIcons'' folder, or any subfolder thereof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''IMPORTANT: The in-line images you see on this page are PNGs can ''NOT'' be used in SONAR -- SONAR can ''only'' use BMP files.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''To get the BMP files for use in SONAR, click on the &amp;quot;Get SONAR-Compatible BMP File&amp;quot; text links, or right click on these same text links and select &amp;quot;Save Target As...&amp;quot; or similar. Do ''NOT'' click on the pictures themselves.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(We would have put the BMPs directly on the site, but wikis don't allow these space-wasting files to be uploaded, hence the need for an external link. This is the best kluge we could find).&lt;br /&gt;

To do this the easy way, select all list items in the ''Drum Map Manager'' and then choose the new value by holding down CTRL+SHFT while using the mouse.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Tape Saturation===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since SONAR works with 32-bit floating point plugins, it would seem to me that it should be possible to add a tape saturation plugin to each track and have the equivalent of a non-linear analog tape editor, so I put together this [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=419857&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#419857 Compendium of Tape Saturation Plugins]&lt;br /&gt;

* [http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/gup-1.php Kjaerhus GUP-1 Golden Uni-pressor]. A high quality compressor, with a nice simple interface at a bargain price. Kjaerhus also offer some more fully featured compressors such as the [http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/gco-1.php GCO-1 Golden Compressor], and the [http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/gac-1.php GAC-1 Golden Audio Channel] which features two compressors and is essentially the same plugin as the new VC-64 included with SONAR 6 producer edition. Those on a tight budget should definitely check out Kjaerhus's freeware [http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-compressor.php Classic Compressor].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR 5 Producer Edition introduced the [http://cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/PerfectSpace.asp PerfectSpace Convolution Reverb] as a VST plugin. This is a very powerful tool but the interface is kind of quirky and it is difficult to find the impulses. Here are step-by-step instructions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Insert a PerfectSpace plugin in by right-clicking in the effects bin and selecting VST&amp;amp;rarr;PerfectSpace&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Choose an impulse by clicking on the &amp;quot;New Page&amp;quot; icon in the upper left corner of the blue screen and navigating to &amp;quot;C:\\Program Files\\Cakewalk\\VstPlugins\\PerfectSpace\\Acoustic Guitar&amp;quot; or one of the other folders (e.g., Bass Amps, cRaZy, Digital 300, Guitar Amps, Kick and Snare, Plates, Real Spaces, Springs, Synthesized, The Great Outdoors, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Select different impulses in the category by clicking the right or left arrows in the upper right corner of the blue window&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The title of this section is &amp;quot;reverb and more&amp;quot; because this convolution reverb can do much more than reverb like amplifier, tube and tape responses.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DFHS and Sonar are both great products, but there are a few minor problems that new Superior users often have when using the two together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem: After inserting DFHS into the synth rack, I only hear the kick drum and snare.==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Solution:&lt;br /&gt;
Ensure you tick the &amp;quot;All Synth Audio Outputs&amp;quot; checkbox when inserting the synth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem: Sonar doesn't show all the microphone outputs from DFHS.==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Solution:&lt;br /&gt;
Basically, some of the DFHS microphone outputs appear to Sonar as single stereo tracks. To extract each microphone (for example, to apply compression to only the kick drum) you need to send the left and right channels of each track to its own bus. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toontrack have provided a PDF and Flash movie to explain this: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://share.toontrack.com/userfree/SUPERIOR/Hosts%20Specific/Sonar/HowTo%20Multi/stepbystep.pdf Step-By-Step PDF]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://share.toontrack.com/userfree/SUPERIOR/Hosts%20Specific/Sonar/HowTo%20Multi/sonarmultiouttut.swf Shockwave Flash Tutorial]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Problem: the DFHS plugin window is too small and will not resize.==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Solution: Use Sonar's VST control panel and increase the initial size of the DFHS window. Toontrack recommend 900px x 700px.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Bussing_Tutorial|Bussing Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an introduction to why and how to [[Bussing_Tutorial|create and use busses in SONAR]] by Geoff Francis. It aims to illustrate a simple example of how bussing works in SONAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-846998225868834934&amp;amp;hl=en Drum Map Tutorial]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sonar forum member [http://forum.cakewalk.com/showProfile.asp?memid=260 Blades] has been kind enough to create a killer video tutorial on using drum maps in Sonar, and it's received rave reviews from other forum members. The video is available [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-846998225868834934&amp;amp;hl=en here].  The thread discussing it is [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=850855&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key= here]. Kudos to our friend Blades!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Nudge_Tutorial|Nudge Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Composing==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Arranging==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.northernsounds.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=77 Principles of Orchestration by Rimsky-Korsikov]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Songwriting==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Songwriting Tips===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Songwriting is a craft, so don't expect to pen classics straight away.  But if you never start you'll never arrive, so learn through practice - write and compose often, even if you don't end up with a complete song every time.  If you're like me, you'll end up with a valuable folder of fragments and half-completed songs that you can go back to later if stuck for a verse, chorus or lyric.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't sight read music or write notation.  I've learned all I know from experience and that's what I'm aiming to pass on here.  Trained musicians should either tune out now or proceed if they want to find out some useful tips that formal musical training has not given them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(1) '''Show - don't tell:'''   Most important!  Listeners will enjoy your music if your songs communicate feelings to them which they identify with.  This happens best if the meanings are shown or hinted to them rather than told to them.  If their imagination has to work a little they'll empathise more with what you're conveying.  For example, don't say &amp;quot;The sun was setting&amp;quot; - which is merely a blunt fact with no other undertones.  Instead, describe the scene in terms of colours, emotions, time, etc. so that the listener has the option of conjuring up their own feelings about such a scene, for example &amp;quot;Fading reds across the bay..&amp;quot;.     Or, &amp;quot;Ain't no sunshine when she's gone&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;I'm so lonely without her&amp;quot;.  This is the technique most used in  poetry.  Use simile, &amp;quot;Easy like Sunday morning&amp;quot; and metaphor, &amp;quot;We're just two ships passing in the night&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(2) '''Getting started:'''  There are four usual ways of starting a new song; vary your approach, especially if you hit a 'dry' period:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chords:  Noodling around with chords on the guitar or piano often reveals interesting patterns with potential.&lt;br /&gt;
*Melody:  You think up a fragment of catchy melody and go to the piano or guitar and try out pleasing chords under it.  &lt;br /&gt;
*Lyrics:    You have an idea to convey and it suggests itself in words first.  Get it down on paper before you forget!&lt;br /&gt;
*Rhythm:  Going through the patterns on a drum machine/soft synth very often suggests a whole song.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(3) '''Let your ideas flow:'''  Don't worry about getting stuck.  Just go around the problem and work quickly - the muse when it comes upon you will not last too long!  Getting your ideas down is more important than honing each one to perfection; you can always edit things later. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(4) '''Reverse a couplet that isn't working:'''  If you have a couple of lyric lines which you're happy with but one half of it is stronger than the other, swap it around so that the stronger line comes second, for example:  &amp;quot;We're making two hearts black and blue, And there's nothing I can do.&amp;quot;  will have more impact at the end of a verse if reversed to: &amp;quot;Now there's nothing I can do, We're making two hearts black and blue.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(5) '''Always have something changing:''' We all get bored quickly with music that drones on without changing.  This is the reason songs have structures involving Verse, Chorus, Middle Eight, etc.  as well as other common techniques designed to make you stick around and listen to the song all the way through.  Some common arrangement moves are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Start very simple with just solo piano and voice&lt;br /&gt;
*Introduce tambourine halfway through to add excitement&lt;br /&gt;
*Introduce strings and/or brass at successive stages&lt;br /&gt;
*Use the dreaded key change (!) near the end of a ballad before the last chorus.  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(5) '''Can't get started?  Listen to some music:''' I often find that a good way to get started is to play some CD tracks in the style I'm looking to write a song in.  This doesn't prompt copying, subconsciously or otherwise, but it fills my head with music patterns, chords, sounds, etc. puts me right in the mood and 'primes the pump'.  &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(6) '''Composing melody - the hard bit!'''  A song's melody is at least as important as any other component of your song.  In fact, your audience probably won't bother listening to your song at all if your melody is weak.  Articles and books can't tell you precisely how write a melody because if there was a formula it would be too valuable to share!  Here are some of my experiences though:&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Noodling notes on a keyboard (even if you don't play properly, like me) can turn up interesting melodies.  This doesn't work on a guitar, probably because of its bias towards chord playing, but playing chord changes on a guitar often enables you to 'hear' and then sing out a melody that's woven in those changes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beware monotony: vary the range (high and low notes) of the melody to make it interesting.  Don't fall into the common beginner's trap of composing a melody largely following the root notes of the chords; try and use other notes of the chords, or even ones not in the chord but suggested by it.  Experiment by playing different chords under the same melody to see if that's more harmonically appealing.  By experimenting like this you sometimes find it's an iterative process whereby your original melody changes for the better and the chords also change as you try different combinations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you're stuck putting together a melody resist the urge to just change the chord - this won't substitute for lack of a clear melody line.  Great songwriters seem to devise clever melodies using a few simple chords.  Check out some of Brian Adams' big hits.  He writes big, memorable rock songs around a handful of chords in what we guitarists call the first position, i.e. the easy chords like C, G, Ami, D, at the beginning of the fretboard.  The most outstanding example of this is the Mavericks' 'Just Want to Dance the Night Away' whose verses, choruses and middle eight are all entirely different melodies sung over the same two alternating chords throughout the song - E and B7!    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep it simple: you're not writing an eight minute classical piece.  If the milkman could whistle it, then you've got a memorable and catchy melody.  Pop music is a lot about repetition and a short, catchy melody can be made very effective by repetition, c.f. the Stones' '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction'.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Make a variation on the main melody in the middle eight, which is the portion of a song (usually eight bars long) that breaks things up just when it might become boring, e.g. the part in the Commodores' &amp;quot;Easy&amp;quot; that starts &amp;quot;I wanna be high, so high..&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(7) '''Hooks:'''  Hit songs have one or more hooks.  This is the industry term for the bit in the record that makes the listener want to play the record over and over again, i.e. buy it!  It's important that you include at least one hook very early on in your song; you need to grab the audience's attention, and keep it.  Making the first lines to your lyric interesting is one way of achieving this. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Hooks can take many forms from a clever title (The Beatles' 'Eight Days A Week'); a catchy intro; a key change; a 'funny' noise; interesting guitar tone (fuzz guitar intro to Ike and Tina Turner's 'Nutbush City Limits'); novel guitar riff (Roy Orbison's 'Pretty Woman'); catchy rhythm fragment; sweeping strings interlude; sax solo (Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street'); vocal oddity; technical effect (flanging on the Doobie Brothers' 'Listen To The Music'); 'ear candy', etc.  I'm sure you can think of as many as I can.  They're not compulsory of course, but if you can introduce one, either on purpose or otherwise (what I call 'a painter's accident'!) you can add that certain attractive something to your finished piece.    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(8) '''Give the listener some structure:'''  Don't make your song so 'interesting' that it's weird.  The listener may feel so disoriented that they quickly lose all interest.  They won't mind being challenged and will enjoy something new and imaginative, but on the other hand their minds will be attuned to pop music they've grown up with.  They will feel more receptive if some of the 'norms' are present to enable them to mentally navigate through your song.  Common architectures are as follows; use different ones to provide variety and to suit the song:   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Intro, Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Middle Eight, Chorus, Chorus, Outro&lt;br /&gt;
*Intro, Verse 1, Verse 2, Chorus, Verse 3, Chorus, Middle Eight, Chorus, Chorus&lt;br /&gt;
*Intro, Chorus, Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Middle Eight, Verse 3, Chorus, Chorus &lt;br /&gt;
*Verse 1, Verse 2, Verse 3, etc.  (Narrative songs, e.g. Bob Dylan's 'Wesley Harding'.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(9) '''Don't confuse the listener:'''  Beginners do this by putting in too many ideas, asking too many questions and generally not giving the listener enough of a story to grab onto and be taken away with.  You want the listener to hear your song once and immediately be attached to it.  Songs need to have a simple central theme running throughout.  The theme is generally encapsulated in the chorus, where it bursts out after the verses set the scene, however, sometimes the title of the song is the summary of the story.  In writing terms this central idea is called the &amp;quot;through-line&amp;quot;.  It's the central idea that ties up all of the loose ends together. e.g. Bacharach and David's 'Walk On By' is about a lover asking her ex to walk past her if he should see her again in the future.  The verses explain why.  That's it.  That's the song.  For the listener a song with too many ideas running through it gets in the way of the power of immediacy that a song can produce.  It gets in the way because it confuses the listener with too much choice and in doing that sends out mixed messages and the listener won't have anything to connect to.  Convey your message, invoke the audience's emotions and paint your aural picture - one idea at a time.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(10) '''Keep it short:'''  The average length of a pop song is about 3m:30s.  Don't outstay your welcome.  Above all, don't indulge in protracted guitar or other solos - you might think they're really cool but the listener won't hear most of it - they'll have switched off.  Let a song breathe; a common beginner's problem is trying to fill all the spaces up.  Great hooks can come from the contrast between sections and the spaces between.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(11) '''Always be prepared:'''  Always carry a pocket dictaphone or special notebook.  Inspiration for that next great song won't come into your head spontaneously.  Sessions where you decide to sit down tonight with your guitar and write a great song always end in disappointment and the feeling you'll never manage it.  Ever had a superb thought for a lyric phrase in the car only to completely forget it when you got home?  Great writers, and comedians, know this.  That's why most of them jot down things they hear and see during the day that amuses them, hoarding it for later use.  Benny Hill, the famous comedian, always carried a large notebook with him and he'd often sit for hours in restaurants and pavement cafes watching and listening to people.  He'd jot down the everyday funny or odd things people said or did and go through them later when he was writing shows, so that he had something to spark his inspiration rather then having to sit down with a pile of blank paper and nothing else.  Some writers are inspired by the titles used in magazine articles. These are often snappy, and can make great starting points for songs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Get into the habit of seeing at the world as an infinite ideas machine.  As a songwriter all you have to do is to tap into this amazing resource and translate what you see into songwriting ideas.  Of course doing this takes a lot of practice and a willingness to become much more observant and mindful of what's going on in your life. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(12) '''Break the rules (when it's better to do so):'''  Don't forget, we're dealing with art here and not science.  Human creativity is a wonderful but unpredictable thing and sometimes breaking the rules makes magic happen, and if it feels right and sounds right, it is right.  The Beatles were the masters of this during their psychedelic creative period - deliberately breaking the rules to see what sparks would come off, e.g. stitching two different songs together in 'Day In The Life'.  But learn the rules - your craft - first!&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(13) '''Don't ask relatives and friends what they think of your songs''' unless you need some comforting, but perhaps misguided, feedback!  Ask for honest, constructive opinions from other songwriters, or post your MP3s on forums for like-minded folks to give you comment and suggestions.  Sonar has a songs section on their forums here and Studio Central forums have a song review section here.  There are songwriting sites with similar forums also.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
(14) '''Listen carefully to other music:'''  With some of the above points in mind, now listen carefully to some of your CDs (and maybe those of some friends) and look out for the tricks and techniques that the artists and arrangers have used.  For these purposes ignore whether you 'dig' the music or not; you're conducting a practical exercise here.  Try and tease out why certain songs hold your interest and others don't.  Why are some tracks simply great and others dull by comparison?  What draws you in almost without you realising it?  The lyrics?  The steady layering of sounds?  Where are the hooks?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==General Description of SONAR==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.cakewalk.com/ Cakewalk]'s '''SONAR''' is a computer program for recording, editing, mixing, mastering and outputting music and other audio. Until recently, version 5.2 was the latest version, and remains the most commonly-installed one. Version 6 began shipping in September 2006. A [[SONAR_6_FAQs|SONAR 6 FAQ]] is currently being developed on this wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR is an example of a digital audio workstation ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAW DAW]) and is capable of performing a number of tasks that previously required expensive and specialized equipment. While some pieces of specialized recording equipment are still required, a desktop computer can now function as the heart of a recording studio. With SONAR you can:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Record and manipulate digital audio&lt;br /&gt;
*Record and manipulate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_compostion MIDI] data&lt;br /&gt;
*Apply special effects, such as reverb and delay&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Automate the process of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_mixing mixing audio]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==System Requirements==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Digital audio can be very demanding with respect to computer resources. Unless portability is a requirement, starting with a desktop is an excellent way to go. The baseline system requirements for Cakewalk’s SONAR are provided at:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/System.asp&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In general, the faster your computer is, the more you can do without causing audio glitches. Processing power is often the limiting factor in audio performance. Your processor’s ability to crunch numbers will often be maximized before your hard disk’s ability to read and write data and before you run out of random access memory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is advisable to use two hard disks in any digital audio workstation (DAW) setup. Your first hard disk should contain your operating system and recording software. The second disk should only contain your audio files. This helps to prevent disruptions in the audio due to disk activity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Audio Hardware Requirements==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's nothing worse than forking over hard-earned money for a sound card or audio interface, only to find that it doesn't work --or works imperfectly-- with SONAR. Cakewalk has an [http://www.cakewalk.com/Tips/audiohw.asp official list] of audio hardware known to work with SONAR and some other Cakewalk products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having taken a gander at that list, know that at a bare minimum you need the following to record:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Analog Instruments===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone microphones], electric guitars and basses, acoustic instruments, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''A way to get your signal up to usable levels.''' Plugging your analog instrument directly into your sound card / audio interface will produce such low levels you'll barely be able to hear them, if you can hear them at all.&lt;br /&gt;
**A [http://www.tweakheadz.com/microphone_preamps.htm ''preamp''] for microphones, to record voice and acoustic instruments.&lt;br /&gt;
**A [http://www.sweetwater.com/store/category/c957 ''direct box''] for electric analog instruments, such as electric guitars and basses. These are essentially preamps, though they often come with a plethora of effects and signal processors.&lt;br /&gt;
**A [http://www.musicianstechcentral.com/mixer.html ''mixer''] or ''mixing console'', suitable for all of the above instruments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''A device to get your sound into your computer'''&lt;br /&gt;
**A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_card ''sound card / audio interface''] for mics and analog instruments. Consumer hardware such as Soundblasters will give you results you will almost certainly not be happy with. See the [[Recording_Gear_For_Use_With_Sonar|recording gear]] page for more details and suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;
**A ''direct connection'' into your computer, such as a [http://www.sweetwater.com/store/search.php?s=usb+mic&amp;amp;tt=1&amp;amp;go=Go! USB microphone] or USB/Firewire-based direct input box.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''A program to record your audio'''&lt;br /&gt;
**That would be [http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/ SONAR], of course, though it is rumored that in far off caves and remote jungles, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Tracker other programs] are used.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For in-depth information on setting your system up to record audio, see [[Sonar_Workflow#Recording_Audio|Recording Audio]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Digital Instruments===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This refers to outboard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_keyboard keyboards] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesizer synthesizers], as well as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIDI_keyboard MIDI controllers].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''A way to get your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midi music data] into the computer'''&lt;br /&gt;
**A dedicated [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_Instrument_Digital_Interface ''MIDI interface''] for MIDI controllers and keyboards/synths with a MIDI out.&lt;br /&gt;
**A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_port ''USB port''] for MIDI controllers and keyboards/synths with a USB out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some people go through additional steps to get a different (typically more &amp;quot;natural&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;analog&amp;quot;) sound out of their synths and keyboards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Playing the keyboard/synth through an amplifier, and recording the amp output acoustically (see the previous section for more details on how to do this).&lt;br /&gt;
*Replaying the MIDI-based recordings they've made in SONAR through an amp and recording the output acoustically (see the previous section).&lt;br /&gt;
*Running their MIDI-based recordings through some type of outboard analog gear and recording its output (again, see the previous section).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Getting SONAR==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR 5 can be bought from innumerable online music stores, but as [http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/sonarStudio/default.asp SONAR 6] is coming out in the very near future you may want to wait, or take advantage of Cakewalk's upgrade offer while it lasts (if you currently own an earlier version of SONAR) to obtain the [http://store.cakewalk.com/region.asp?redirfrom=product.asp&amp;amp;id=151 Producer Edition upgrade] or the [http://store.cakewalk.com/region.asp?redirfrom=product.asp&amp;amp;id=152 Studio Edition upgrade] at a discount.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can try a free SONAR 5 web demo [http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/kb2005298.asp here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that the prices at the Cakewalk online store will &amp;quot;always be higher&amp;quot; than those at retailers, according to a Cakewalk employee, in order not to undercut the resellers' profits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Updating SONAR==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The SONAR 5.2 update is available [http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/kb2005303.asp here]. Note that it requires that you have the [http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/kb2005295.asp 5.0.1 update] installed, and that you must be a registered customer to download it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Program Setup and Configuration==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Read and Write Caching'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is generally recommended to turn read and write caching OFF in SONAR's ''Options | Audio | Advanced'' dialog box. Many also recommend turning off disk caching on the drive SONAR uses to store audio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==[[Sonar_tweaks|SONAR Tweaks]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sonar_tweaks|Here]] is a growing compilation of customized settings you can make to SONAR.  Many of these involve editing the .INI files to modify certain behaviors of SONAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Bussing_Tutorial|Bussing Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an introduction to why and how to [[Bussing_Tutorial|create and use busses in SONAR]] by Geoff Francis. It aims to illustrate a simple example of how bussing works in SONAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-846998225868834934&amp;amp;hl=en Drum Map Tutorial]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sonar forum member [http://forum.cakewalk.com/showProfile.asp?memid=260 Blades] has been kind enough to create a killer video tutorial on using drum maps in Sonar, and it's received rave reviews from other forum members. The video is available [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-846998225868834934&amp;amp;hl=en here].  The thread discussing it is [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=850855&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key= here]. Kudos to our friend Blades!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Nudge_Tutorial|Nudge Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR's nudge feature can rapidly speed up the process of manipulating MIDI and audio data. The [[Nudge_Tutorial|Nudge Tutorial]] explains what can be done with the nudge shortcut keys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Template_Tutorial|Template Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR's project and track template features can greatly speed up the process of creating a new project and customising its settings. The [[Template_Tutorial|Template Tutorial]] explains how this is done and gives lots of ideas for what to include in your project or track template.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Common_Problems_with_DFHS_and_Sonar|DFHS Troubleshooting Guide]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DFHS and Sonar are both great products, but there are a few minor problems that new Superior users often have when using the two together. You'll find a short tutorial [[Common_Problems_with_DFHS_and_Sonar|here]]. There is also an extensive forum post on the matter [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=741349 here].&lt;br /&gt;

==Track Icons==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These track icons are yours for the taking. Just download them into SONAR's ''TrackIcons'' folder, or any subfolder thereof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''IMPORTANT: The in-line images you see on this page are PNGs can ''NOT'' be used in SONAR -- SONAR can ''only'' use BMP files.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''To get the BMP files for use in SONAR, click on the &amp;quot;Get SONAR-Compatible BMP File&amp;quot; text links, or right click on these same text links and select &amp;quot;Save Target As...&amp;quot; or similar. Do ''NOT'' click on the pictures themselves.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(We would have put the BMPs directly on the site, but wikis don't allow these space-wasting files to be uploaded, hence the need for an external link. This is the best kluge we could find).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softsynth Softsynths], sample players, sequencers or loopers, and drum samplers are all programs that let you create and work with the sounds of physical instruments you don't own or have access to.  Depending on the quality of the source sounds (samples or synthesized tones) and your skill in using them, results can range from a 1980s Casio on autopilot to something stunningly close to the real thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of the above tend to be grouped into the category of ''virtual instruments''.  They can be either stand-alone programs or plug-ins (DXi, VSTi, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Softsynths==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Softsynths (software synthesizers) use various algorithms and/or pre-recorded sounds (samples) to create music, often emulating the vintage analog synthesizers of yore, but also offering things never dreamed of until recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===FM7===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM7 FM7] recreates the sounds of the venerable Yamaha DX7 hardware synthesizer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rapture===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.cakewalk.com/products/Rapture/ Rapture] is a wavetable synthesis engine capable of synthesizing waveforms from short wavetables.  It is ideal for performing and designing modern synthesized sounds for use in pop, dance, and electronic music.  Rapture also uses Cakewalk's Expression Engine and SFZ file format specification ( which are also found in Dimension Pro and other instruments from Cakewalk) to enable sample-playback and low-level access to this synth's features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===z3ta+===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The charmingly-named [http://www.rgcaudio.com/z3ta%2B.htm z3ta+] is a popular wave-shaping synthesizer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Pentagon===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.rgcaudio.com/pentagon_I.htm Pentagon] is a synthesizer that aims to emulate vintage analog synths. [[Components_Included_with_Sonar|Pentagon_I]] Pentagon I is included with SONAR 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Cameleon 5000===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.camelaudio.com/cameleon5000.php  Cameleon 5000] is an additive synth, featuring resynthesis and sound morphing, which excels at pads and evolving textures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sample Players==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sample players (melodic ones in this case -- drum samplers are addressed below) are programs that use pre-recorded sounds (samples) to create music. Often they are simply a means to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundfont Soundfonts] or other types of samples through SONAR's MIDI interface. They have largely replaced SoundFont-capable soundcards (such as Creative's) as the method of choice for this job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Dimension Pro===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.cakewalk.com/products/DimensionPro/default.asp Dimension Pro] is a sample playback instrument combined with a synthesizer.  It is a very powerful and extremely expressive instrument capable of incredible sounds.  It contains over 8GB of multisamples and is expandable with expansion packs from Cakewalk and third-party suppliers.  It can read standard sample formats for end-user expansion as well.  Its heart is an expression engine that reads the popular and powerful SFZ patch file format.  In addition to sample playback it is also capable of waveguide synthesis and wavetable synthesis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===sfz and sfz+===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.rgcaudio.com/sfz%2B.htm sfz+] allows you to use the vast number of SoundFonts available on the web and for purchase in your recordings. Its has a freeware little brother, [http://www.rgcaudio.com/sfz.htm sfz], which comes [[Components_Included_with_Sonar#sfz|bundled] with SONAR 5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===VSampler===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The versatile [http://www.maz-sound.com/index.php?show=product&amp;amp;id=2 VSampler] allows you to use virtually any recorded sound as (part of) a virtual instrument. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is capable of playing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundfont Soundfont] (SF2), [http://www.tascamgiga.com/ Gigastudio], [http://www.steinberg.net/155+M52087573ab0.html HALion] 1 and 2, [http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=kontakt_us Kontakt] 1.x, [http://www.midi.org/about-midi/dls/dlsspec.shtml DLS], [http://www.synthzone.com/akai.htm AKAI] S1000/S3000 CD and S5000/S6000 .AKP files and [http://www.emu.com/products/welcome.asp?category=501 E-MU] III / IV CD samples. It is also capable of loading [http://www.harmony-central.com/Reviews/LM4/ LM4] and [http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM01/Content/Native_Instruments/PR/Battery.html Battery] drumkits as well as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReCycle_(program) ReCycle] (RCY, REX, RX2) and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_Loops ACID] drumloops. You can also use it to create your own instruments using WAV or AIF files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sequencers and Loopers==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sequencers and loopers allow you to turn samples into music, making extensive use of repeating loops to achieve this goal. As most sequencers and loopers work perfectly well with percussion --or are even aimed principally at this area-- there is a certain overlap between them and drum samplers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Project5===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cakewalk's [http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/Project5/default.asp Project5] is a sequencer aimed at both production and live applications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Acid Pro===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sony's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID_Pro Acid Pro] is a [http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/showproduct.asp?PID=971&amp;amp;FeatureID=8359 family of products] for working with loops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ableton Live===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ableton_Live Ableton Live] is a sequencer aimed principally at live music performance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Drum Samplers==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These programs allow you to add sampled drum sounds to your recordings, using sets of drum samples ranging from a few hundred megabytes to 50GB-60GB. Typically, you use a MIDI track in your project to trigger the samples, though some of these programs also include built-in drum sequencers or groove libraries that let you compose directly in them and then transfer the results to SONAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===BFD===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FXpansion's [http://www.fxpansion.com/products.php BFD] is a drum sampler with basic sequencing capabilities.  Its sample libraries are considered to be among the best in existence, along with those of DFHS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that there is a new [http://www.fxpansion.com/forum/index.php BFD forum] at FXpansion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===DFHS===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[http://www.toontrack.com/superior.shtml DFHS] (Drumkit From Hell Superior) is BFD's main competitor. Like BFD, it includes drum sequencing capabilities and a large sample library.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a few minor problems users often have when using DFHS with Sonar. We've put some of the solutions here - [http://editthis.info/sonar/Common_Problems_with_DFHS_and_Sonar Common Problems with DHFS &amp;amp; Sonar].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Groove Agent===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Steinberg's [http://www.steinberg.net/945+M52087573ab0.html Groove Agent] combines a drum sample library with extensive rhythmic composition capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Battery===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Native Instruments' [http://www.modernbeats.com/battery.php Battery] is a drums sequencer and sample player.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===EZdrummer===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toontrack's [http://www.ezdrummer.com/index.asp EZdrummer] is a drum sample player with a built-in library of MIDI loops that can be dragged and dropped into SONAR's track view allowing rapid creation of realistic sounding drumbeats. The drum sounds come ready processed so they are ready for use in a mix from the outset. Ambience samples are included and it can be set to multi-out mode if you want tighter control over the mixing of each kit part. A number of expansion packs are available, featuring more drum and percussion samples as well as extra MIDI loops.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Error Messages==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Unable to save entire recording. The audio disk may be full.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This error seems to have little or nothing to do with the amount of free space on the audio drive. In fact, users with up to 30 GB of free space have run into it. It is apparently a sort of general error message that Sonar gives under a series of as-yet undetermined circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Possible work-arounds''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Delete the [http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Jul03/articles/sonarnotes0703.asp picture cache]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Defragment the offending disk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Resave the entire project in a different folder, making sure to copy the project's audio data to the new folder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Go to ''Tools'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''Audio Options'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''Advanced''  and make sure the Data Directory is pointing to the proper path. If you've recently reinstalled Cakewalk, this may be incorrect and you'll have to edit it now. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In the ''Aud.ini'' file, change ''DiskRecBufferSize'' from the default 64 to 128 or even up to 512.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*This error message may sometimes be due to high CPU usage, even if the SONAR CPU meter doesn't indicate that this is happening. Try reducing CPU usage by freezing or archiving tracks, disabling plug-ins, turning off virtual instruments, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Crashes==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most crashes are caused by hardware problems and device drivers &amp;amp;mdash; many, many people use SONAR on a regular basis and have found it to be a stable trustworthy program &amp;amp;mdash; so if you are getting crashes, take the following steps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Uncheck 'Automatic restart' in the ''System Properties &amp;amp;rarr; Advanced &amp;amp;rarr; Startup and Recovery'' so you can see the blue-screen-of-death rather than getting a reboot&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Carefully consider what has just changed in your system: what new hardware and/or software have you loaded recently. You'd be surprised how much software gets loaded as device drivers. Anti-virus scanners are the worst offenders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Update the device drivers on all hardware&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Check ''Control Panel &amp;amp;rarr; Administrative Tools &amp;amp;rarr; Event Viewer'' for System Errors&lt;br /&gt;

==Analog Simulators==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tape Saturation===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since SONAR works with 32-bit floating point plugins, it would seem to me that it should be possible to add a tape saturation plugin to each track and have the equivalent of a non-linear analog tape editor, so I put together this [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=419857&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#419857 Compendium of Tape Saturation Plugins]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Tape Saturation Plugins====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://www.aipl.com/warmtone.html AIPL WarmTone] (DirectX) &amp;amp;mdash; applies tube-like warmth and tape-like compression to any instrument (professional=$64 standard=$34) &amp;quot;Old! CPU hog.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

===Cakewalk PerfectSpace Convolution Reverb &amp;amp; More===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://editthis.info/images/sonar/5/5c/Perfect_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR 5 Producer Edition introduced the [http://cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/PerfectSpace.asp PerfectSpace Convolution Reverb] as a VST plugin. This is a very powerful tool but the interface is kind of quirky and it is difficult to find the impulses. Here are step-by-step instructions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Insert a PerfectSpace plugin in by right-clicking in the effects bin and selecting VST&amp;amp;rarr;PerfectSpace&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Choose an impulse by clicking on the &amp;quot;New Page&amp;quot; icon in the upper left corner of the blue screen and navigating to &amp;quot;C:\\Program Files\\Cakewalk\\VstPlugins\\PerfectSpace\\Acoustic Guitar&amp;quot; or one of the other folders (e.g., Bass Amps, cRaZy, Digital 300, Guitar Amps, Kick and Snare, Plates, Real Spaces, Springs, Synthesized, The Great Outdoors, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Select different impulses in the category by clicking the right or left arrows in the upper right corner of the blue window&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The title of this section is &amp;quot;reverb and more&amp;quot; because this convolution reverb can do much more than reverb like amplifier, tube and tape responses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Recording Audio==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recording audio in SONAR is quite easy.  You simply need to make sure your signal chain is up and working, your sound card control panel is set right, and your track in SONAR is selected as the source and armed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Signal Chain===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is where it's happening outside the box (e.g. your computer).  Simply connect your mic to your mic preamp or mixer, your preamp or mixer to your sound card / audio interface, and connect that to your computer. If you're recording an electric instrument through a direct box of some sort, the process is even simpler: connect your instrument to the direct box IN and your direct box OUT to you sound card / audio interface.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sound Card Control Panel===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every sound card / audio interface maker has a different control panel applet, but some general rules do apply.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You want to make sure whatever physical IN jack you've connect your mixer or direct box to on your sound card has its volume/input fader all the way up in the control panel, and that it's ''not'' muted.  Same with the master volume on multi-input sound cards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, if you're using a stereo channel as two discrete mono channels, make sure IN 1 is panned hard left and IN 2 is panned hard right, in both your mixer and your sound card control panel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, configure your sound card's latency, sample rate, signal levels and other settings in its control panel. Start with a very generous latency, such as 512 or 1024 samples, just to make sure you're not getting instant drop outs in SONAR that keep you from recording.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SONAR track===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Select or create a new audio track in SONAR.  Go to its input &amp;quot;slot&amp;quot; and select the soundcard and input port your have your equipment plugged into and your sound card control panel configured to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arm the track in SONAR by clicking on the small '''R''' on the track's top bar (this is the '''R''' that follows '''M''' and '''S'''). Now hit the record button in SONAR's transport control or the '''R''' '''key''' on your computer keyboard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should now be making music.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Troubleshooting===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes things just don't work. After all, there are enough cables, boxes, assorted electronic gear and configuration involved in recording audio that anyone can have a mishap.  The good news is that once you get your setup working, you shouldn't have to touch it again!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is an exhaustive troubleshooting procedure for recording audio, written for users at the &amp;quot;desperate&amp;quot; level. It's based on the Delta44 and Delta1010 audio interfaces, but the suggestions are good for ''any'' equipment, though a few specific names of parts may change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Signal Chain Troubleshooting===== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Set your signal chain up as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# '''Mic''' &amp;amp;rarr; &lt;br /&gt;
# Your mixer's '''Mic IN 1''' (make sure mixer is turned on, gain is very high, faders are very high too [just to eliminate low levels as a potential source of problems], and pan is hard left) &amp;amp;rarr; &lt;br /&gt;
# Your mixer's '''Main Mix 1''', '''Main Out 1''', or whatever it may be named &amp;amp;rarr; &lt;br /&gt;
# The '''Hardware IN 1''' on your sound card / audio interface. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, you'll also want to connect your mixer's '''Main Out 2''' / '''Main Mix 2''' to the sound card's '''Hardware IN 2''', but that's for later. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''TO TEST:''' Plug your mixer's '''Main Mix 1''' / '''Main Out 1''' directly into a guitar amp or equivalent. If you get sound, you know your mic is working, your cables are good and your mixer is both functional and properly configured. And you can forget about this whole part of your signal chain as a potential source of problems. (You may have to temporarily pan to center to get sound this way). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Sound Card Control Panel Troubleshooting===== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(The following was written with the M-Audio Delta series in mind, but is easily adapted to other sound cards).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Monitor Mixer Page'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Make sure that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# All levels are at their absolute highest &lt;br /&gt;
# Nothing is muted (e.g. everythings is &amp;quot;Solo'd&amp;quot;.) &lt;br /&gt;
# '''Hardware IN 1''' is panned hard left, '''Hardware IN 2''' is panned hard right, and so on, alternating hard left (odd-numbered inputs) with hard right (even-numbered inputs) on both your mixer and the sound card control panel.  You can do this any way you please, actually, as long as the mixer and control panel settings are identical.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Patchbay / Router Page'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Set '''Hardware OUT 1/2''' to &amp;quot;Monitor Mixer&amp;quot; here.&lt;br /&gt;
#Go to the control panel's &amp;quot;Monitor Mixer&amp;quot; page, stare intently at the colored bars, and sing like a banshee. &lt;br /&gt;
#Do any of the meter bars move?&lt;br /&gt;
#If so, your signal chain is working (your cables are good, your mixer is set up right, your sound card is properly installed, you've chosen the right inputs) and your sound card's driver and control panel are properly configured. These, too, can be eliminated as possible problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If not, the problem is almost certainly in the control panel configuration. The other alternative is a gear problem -- a loose cable, an short circuit somewhere, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you've made it this far, go to the next section. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Output Troubleshooting===== &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is where SONAR comes in. Set it up to use your soundcard as its inputs and outputs: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Go to SONAR's ''OPTIONS'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''AUDIO'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''DRIVERS'' and select '''everything''' that has the name of your soundcard, for both inputs and outputs. Then restart Sonar just to be completely sure the changes have been made. &lt;br /&gt;
#Go to SONAR's ''OPTIONS'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''AUDIO'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''ADVANCED'' and make sure the ''Playback and Recording'' section's &amp;quot;Driver&amp;quot; item is set to ASIO.&lt;br /&gt;
#Go to SONAR's ''OPTIONS'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''AUDIO'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''GENERAL'' and pick the first item listed for your soundcard in both &amp;quot;Playback timing&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Record Timing&amp;quot;. Any will probably do fine, you just don't your onboard sound card or whatever being selected here. &lt;br /&gt;
#At the very bottom of this page, you will see a button labeled ''ASIO Panel...''. Click it. The M-Audio control panel should appear, and it would be a smart move to double-check all the settings here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====SONAR Troubleshooting====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Create a mono audio track. &lt;br /&gt;
#Set the input to &amp;quot;''(Your Sound Card)'' ASIO&amp;quot; &amp;gt; &amp;quot;LEFT ASIO Analog In 1 ''(Your Soundcard)'' [1]&amp;quot; or something very similar to it. &lt;br /&gt;
#Arm your track: toggle the little '''R''' button in the top bar of the track, to the right of the name and the '''M''' (Mute) and '''S''' (Solo) buttons. It shoudl be red now.&lt;br /&gt;
#Hit the '''R''' key on your computer keyboard or the record button in the SONAR transport controls to start recording. Sing away. &lt;br /&gt;
#Stop, go back to the beginning, and SEE if anything was recorded -- look at the wave form in the track and if it's not flat, you (or your audio, to be more precise) are getting in! (Make sure ''OPTIONS'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''GLOBAL OPTIONS'' &amp;amp;rarr; ''GENERAL'' &amp;amp;rarr; &amp;quot;Display Waveform Preview While Recording&amp;quot; is checked to see things in real time). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you see your sound here, everything from your mic on through your sound card and Sonar's INs are properly configured. Breathe a sigh of relief. But don't break out the six-pack yet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, if you can also HEAR your audio upon playback, your problems are solved. But assuming you can't: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Go to your audio track in SONAR. &lt;br /&gt;
#Go to the &amp;quot;Output&amp;quot; section (the horizontal bar with a stylized '''O''' at the far left). &lt;br /&gt;
#Click it and select '''Master'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You could go out directly here, instead of throught the '''Master''', but that will probably only cause you problems later. So we're going to do it right, though it takes another step or two. So, you've selected '''Master'''. Now... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Go to the bottom of the SONAR screen and you should see a ''buss'' (looks just like a track really) that says '''Master'''. &lt;br /&gt;
#On ITS output select &amp;quot;ASIO Analog OUT 1/2 ''(Your Sound Card)'' [1]&amp;quot; or similar. &lt;br /&gt;
#Plug your left studio monitor's audio cable into it at one end and into '''HW OUT 1''' of your sound card at the other. &lt;br /&gt;
#Plug your right studio monitor's audio cable into it at one end and '''HW OUT 2''' of your sound card at the other. &lt;br /&gt;
#Plug your monitors in and turn them on, if you have active (powered) monitors.  Do the same with your monitor amplifier if you have passive (unpowered) monitors.&lt;br /&gt;
#Play your recording, cranking the volume as needed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should hear something here. If you've followed all the above steps, AND you don't happen to have faulty hardware, it's inevitable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Assuming you are getting sound, now you'll want to use different outs -- at least one direct to your monitors (you've just done that) and one to your mixer for the headphones used in tracking. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That's easy! Just... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Go to SONAR's '''Master''' buss.&lt;br /&gt;
#Right click on some grey part of it.&lt;br /&gt;
#On the pop-up menu, select ''Insert Send''.&lt;br /&gt;
#Follow that menu to &amp;quot;''(Your Sound Card)'' ASIO Analog Out 3/4 [1]&amp;quot; and select it. &lt;br /&gt;
#Now connect your sound card's '''Hardware OUT 3''' and '''Hardware OUT 4''' to the appropriate input on your mixer. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wasn't that a great cop-out -- &amp;quot;appropriate input&amp;quot;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#On smaller mixers the '''TAPE/CD IN L &amp;amp; R''' inputs are commonly used. This often requires a custom cable using two 1/4&amp;quot; TRS cables at the soundcard OUTs end and two RCA jacks soldered on to the other end and plugged into the '''TAPE/CD IN L &amp;amp; R'''. &lt;br /&gt;
#On many mixers this also requires the '''Main / CD-Tape''' button be be down in order to work.&lt;br /&gt;
#You may have another IN on your mixer that works for this. If so, no soldering or RCA jacks will be needed -- just plug the TRS cable into the mixer. &lt;br /&gt;
#Plug headphones into mixer's '''Phone Out''' plug (or something similarly named). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you follow these directions to the letter you SHOULD be good to go. Otherwise, you may have a problem with your gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Gear Troubleshooting====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the first case, you will have to test '''every single physical component''' of your system. That means either swapping each component out for an identical one, or testing each component on another system:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Mic / instrument&lt;br /&gt;
#Every single bloody cable you have&lt;br /&gt;
#Mixer / direct box&lt;br /&gt;
#Sound card breakout box (if applicable)&lt;br /&gt;
#Sound-card-to-computer cable&lt;br /&gt;
#The sound card itself &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you do this:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Test '''one''' component at a time&lt;br /&gt;
#Make very sure that everything is plugged in completely and solidly.&lt;br /&gt;
#Move, jiggle and shake each one to make sure there's no short anywhere (who knows -- maybe your out jacks' soldering is coming loose or something along those lines).&lt;br /&gt;
#Use whatever type of cables your manufacturer suggests. Using 1/4&amp;quot; unbalanced (TS or guitar) cables when 1/4&amp;quot; TRS (balanced) cables are specified ''might'' work, but it also might not. Don't take the chance -- use what the manufacturer suggests.  Using balanced cables will also drastically reduce the noise in your recordings, so it's double plus good!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''TIP:''' When troubleshooting ''anything'', you must be extremely disciplined and systematic. Change one thing at a time (no more!) and then test your entire rig out.  Then change another and test again.  And so on.  It's tempting to change a bunch of things at once, in hopes of saving time, but though you may get lucky this way, chances are you won't, and you also won't have any more of an idea of what's wrong than when you started.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a guide for computer buyers, builders and modders who want to find the optimal hardware for use with [http://www.cakewalk.com/ Cakewalk]'s '''SONAR'''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Demonstrably Compatible Components==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dubious, Problematic, Unstable or Incompatible Components==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===SATA Hard Drives===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR users storing their audio data on SATA hard drives have reported having numerous problems. It's recommended to store your SONAR audio on an IDE or external hard drive, by simply putting your audio folder there and pointing Sonar to it in the &amp;quot;Project Folders&amp;quot; box in ''Options'' | ''Global'' | ''Folders''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that having Windows, or even the Sonar program itself, on a SATA drive does not seem to cause these problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===ProTools Hardware===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR has serious problems using ProTools hardware.  See this [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=858542 forum thread] for more details.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The 64-Bit Question==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cakewalk's official take on using Sonar on 64-bit computers can be read [http://www.cakewalk.com/x64/default.asp here].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note that this is ''not'' the same as using SONAR's [http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/kb2005278.asp ''64-Bit Precision''] option.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Analog Simulators==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Tape Saturation===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since SONAR works with 32-bit floating point plugins, it would seem to me that it should be possible to add a tape saturation plugin to each track and have the equivalent of a non-linear analog tape editor, so I put together this [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=419857&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#419857 Compendium of Tape Saturation Plugins]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Tape Saturation Plugins====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://www.aipl.com/warmtone.html AIPL WarmTone] (DirectX) &amp;amp;mdash; applies tube-like warmth and tape-like compression to any instrument (professional=$64 standard=$34) &amp;quot;Old! CPU hog.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/AudioFX2/TapeSim.asp Cakewalk FX2 Tape Sim] &amp;amp;mdash; the classic sound and warmth of several different vintage analog tape decks (included with SONAR) &amp;quot;Pretty good&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;OK&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Not exagerated&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;It just works&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://www.camelaudio.com/camelphat.php?flash=1 Camel Phat] &amp;amp;mdash; has several analogue-modelled distortion algorithms ($49) &amp;quot;for a bit of dirt&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://www.spiritcanyonaudio.com/vst.php Ozone] &amp;amp;mdash; unusual saturation and distortion plugin (free) NOTE: As of September 19, 2006 when I checked, the free VST plugins here are no longer available.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://home.earthlink.net/~rocksonics/FreePlugs.htm Saturator] &amp;amp;mdash; Analog Tape Saturation Emulator — emulates the non-linear curve of analog tape in saturation (free)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Other recommended products====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*[http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&amp;amp;subItem=5 BLOCKFISH from digitalfishphones] &amp;amp;mdash; a versatile compressor with countless ways to shape the incoming audio (free download) &amp;quot;I especially like the saturation&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;especially if you &amp;quot;lift&amp;quot; the faceplate off and mess with the fine tuning features embedded in it&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

*Steinberg Magneto &amp;amp;mdash; can't be purchased as a separate stand-alone plugin.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Compressors==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://www.otiumfx.com/ OtiumFX Beatpuncher Compadre]. Great sounding, definitely with it's own character.  Adds a real &amp;quot;punch&amp;quot; and energy to tracks. &lt;br /&gt;
* [http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/gup-1.php Kjaerhus GUP-1 Golden Uni-pressor]. A high quality compressor, with a nice simple interface at a bargain price. Kjaerhus also offer some more fully featured compressors such as the [http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/gco-1.php GCO-1 Golden Compressor], and the [http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/gac-1.php GAC-1 Golden Audio Channel] which features two compressors and is essentially the same plugin as the new VC-64 included with SONAR 6 producer edition. Those on a tight budget should definitely check out Kjaerhus's freeware [http://www.kjaerhusaudio.com/classic-compressor.php Classic Compressor].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Cakewalk PerfectSpace Convolution Reverb &amp;amp; More===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
http://editthis.info/images/sonar/5/5c/Perfect_space.gif&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR 5 Producer Edition introduced the [http://cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/PerfectSpace.asp PerfectSpace Convolution Reverb] as a VST plugin. This is a very powerful tool but the interface is kind of quirky and it is difficult to find the impulses. Here are step-by-step instructions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Insert a PerfectSpace plugin in by right-clicking in the effects bin and selecting VST&amp;amp;rarr;PerfectSpace&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Choose an impulse by clicking on the &amp;quot;New Page&amp;quot; icon in the upper left corner of the blue screen and navigating to &amp;quot;C:\\Program Files\\Cakewalk\\VstPlugins\\PerfectSpace\\Acoustic Guitar&amp;quot; or one of the other folders (e.g., Bass Amps, cRaZy, Digital 300, Guitar Amps, Kick and Snare, Plates, Real Spaces, Springs, Synthesized, The Great Outdoors, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Select different impulses in the category by clicking the right or left arrows in the upper right corner of the blue window&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The title of this section is &amp;quot;reverb and more&amp;quot; because this convolution reverb can do much more than reverb like amplifier, tube and tape responses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''IMPORTANT: The in-line images you see on this page are PNGs can ''NOT'' be used in SONAR -- SONAR can ''only'' use BMP files.'''&lt;br /&gt;

'''To get the BMP files for use in SONAR, click on the &amp;quot;Get SONAR-Compatible BMP File&amp;quot; text links, or right click on these same text links and select &amp;quot;Save Target As...&amp;quot; or similar. Do ''NOT'' click on the pictures themselves.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(We would have put the BMPs directly on the site, but wikis don't allow these space-wasting files to be uploaded, hence the need for an external link. This is the best kluge we could find).&lt;br /&gt;

==Drum Maps==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You'll undoubtedly have to make a few changes to drum maps made on other systems, such as choosing a MIDI port suitable for your project. To do this the easy way, select all list items in the ''Drum Map Manager'' and then choose the new value by holding down CTRL+SHFT while using the mouse.&lt;br /&gt;

==[[Sonar_tweaks|SONAR Tweaks]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sonar_tweaks|Here]] is a growing compilation of customized settings you can make to SONAR.  Many of these involve editing the .INI files to modify certain behaviors of SONAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Bussing_Tutorial|Bussing Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an introduction to why and how to [[Bussing_Tutorial|create and use busses in SONAR]] by Geoff Francis. It aims to illustrate a simple example of how bussing works in SONAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-846998225868834934&amp;amp;hl=en Drum Map Tutorial]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sonar forum member [http://forum.cakewalk.com/showProfile.asp?memid=260 Blades] has been kind enough to create a killer video tutorial on using drum maps in Sonar, and it's received rave reviews from other forum members. The video is available [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-846998225868834934&amp;amp;hl=en here].  The thread discussing it is [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=850855&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key= here]. Kudos to our friend Blades!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Nudge_Tutorial|Nudge Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR's nudge feature can rapidly speed up the process of manipulating MIDI and audio data. The [[Nudge_Tutorial|Nudge Tutorial]] explains what can be done with the nudge shortcut keys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Template_Tutorial|Template Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR's project and track template features can greatly speed up the process of creating a new project and customising its settings. The [[Template_Tutorial|Template Tutorial]] explains how this is done and gives lots of ideas for what to include in your project or track template.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Common_Problems_with_DFHS_and_Sonar|DFHS Troubleshooting Guide]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DFHS and Sonar are both great products, but there are a few minor problems that new Superior users often have when using the two together. You'll find a short tutorial [[Common_Problems_with_DFHS_and_Sonar|here]]. There is also an extensive forum post on the matter [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=741349 here].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
''NOTE: We're currently looking for some file hosting service or generous soul with his or her own web space that doesn't delete files that haven't been downloaded for 30 days, and doesn't take you to an odious special download page instead of letting you download files directly. If you know of one, please click on the &amp;quot;Discussion&amp;quot; tab above and give us the lowdown.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Track Icons==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These track icons are yours for the taking. Just download them into SONAR's ''TrackIcons'' folder, or any subfolder thereof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''IMPORTANT: The in-line images you see on this page are PNGs can ''NOT'' be used in SONAR -- SONAR can ''only'' use BMP files.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''To get the BMP files for use in SONAR, click on the &amp;quot;Get SONAR-Compatible BMP File&amp;quot; text links, or right click on these same text links and select &amp;quot;Save Target As...&amp;quot; or similar. Do ''NOT'' click on the pictures themselves.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(We would have put the BMPs directly on the site, but wikis don't allow these space-wasting files to be uploaded, hence the need for an external link. This is the best kluge we could find).&lt;br /&gt;

==Drum Maps==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You'll undoubtedly have to make a few changes to drum maps made on other systems, such as choosing a MIDI port suitable for your project. To do this the easy way, select all list items in the ''Drum Map Manager'' and then choose the new value by holding down CTRL+SHFT while using the mouse.&lt;br /&gt;

''NOTE: We're currently looking for some file hosting service or generous soul with his or her own web space that doesn't delete files that haven't been downloaded for 30 days, and doesn't take you to an odious special download page instead of letting you download files directly. If you know of one, please click on the &amp;quot;Discussion&amp;quot; tab above and give us the lowdown.''&lt;br /&gt;

==Track Icons==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These track icons are yours for the taking. Just download them into SONAR's ''TrackIcons'' folder, or any subfolder thereof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''IMPORTANT: The in-line images you see on this page are PNGs can ''NOT'' be used in SONAR -- SONAR can ''only'' use BMP files.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''To get the BMP files for use in SONAR, click on the &amp;quot;Get SONAR-Compatible BMP File&amp;quot; text links, or right click on these same text links and select &amp;quot;Save Target As...&amp;quot; or similar. Do ''NOT'' click on the pictures themselves.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(We would have put the BMPs directly on the site, but wikis don't allow these space-wasting files to be uploaded, hence the need for an external link. This is the best kluge we could find).&lt;br /&gt;

==Drum Maps==&lt;br /&gt;

You'll undoubtedly have to make a few changes to drum maps made on other systems, such as choosing a MIDI port suitable for your project. To do this the easy way, select all list items in the ''Drum Map Manager'' and then choose the new value by holding down CTRL+SHFT while using the mouse.&lt;br /&gt;

==[[Sonar_tweaks|SONAR Tweaks]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sonar_tweaks|Here]] is a growing compilation of customized settings you can make to SONAR.  Many of these involve editing the .INI files to modify certain behaviors of SONAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Bussing_Tutorial|Bussing Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is an introduction to why and how to [[Bussing_Tutorial|create and use busses in SONAR]] by Geoff Francis. It aims to illustrate a simple example of how bussing works in SONAR.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-846998225868834934&amp;amp;hl=en Drum Map Tutorial]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sonar forum member [http://forum.cakewalk.com/showProfile.asp?memid=260 Blades] has been kind enough to create a killer video tutorial on using drum maps in Sonar, and it's received rave reviews from other forum members. The video is available [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-846998225868834934&amp;amp;hl=en here].  The thread discussing it is [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=850855&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key= here]. Kudos to our friend Blades!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Nudge_Tutorial|Nudge Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR's nudge feature can rapidly speed up the process of manipulating MIDI and audio data. The [[Nudge_Tutorial|Nudge Tutorial]] explains what can be done with the nudge shortcut keys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Template_Tutorial|Template Tutorial]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SONAR's project and track template features can greatly speed up the process of creating a new project and customising its settings. The [[Template_Tutorial|Template Tutorial]] explains how this is done and gives lots of ideas for what to include in your project or track template.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==[[Common_Problems_with_DFHS_and_Sonar|DFHS Troubleshooting Guide]]==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DFHS and Sonar are both great products, but there are a few minor problems that new Superior users often have when using the two together. You'll find a short tutorial [[Common_Problems_with_DFHS_and_Sonar|here]]. There is also an extensive forum post on the matter [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=741349 here].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Main_Page|Home Page]] * [[SONAR_6_FAQs|Sonar6 FAQ]] * [[Getting_Started_With_Sonar|Getting Started]] * [[Sonar_Workflow|Workflow]] * [[Tips_Techniques_and_Tutorials_for_Sonar|Tips, Techniques and Tutorials]] * [[Sonar_Errors_and_Workarounds|Errors and Workarounds]] * [[Making_Music_With_Sonar|Making Music]] * [[Composing_Arranging_Songwriting|Composing, Arranging &amp;amp; Songwriting]] * [[Optimizing_Your_DAW|Optimizing Your DAW]] * [[Recording_Gear_For_Use_With_Sonar|Recording Gear]] * [[Components_Included_with_Sonar|Included Components]] * [[Effects_And_Signal_Processors_For_Use_With_Sonar|Third-Party Effects]] * [[Virtual_Instruments|Third-Party Virtual Instruments]] * [[Computer_Systems_For_Use_With_Sonar|Computer Systems and Components]] * [[Free_Downloads|Free Downloads]] * [[Sonar_Resources|External SONAR resources]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=872307 Question to Cakewalk re Sonar 6 Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development. ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.asp?m=864581 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is a list of forum threads discussing the use of ACT with various control surfaces:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these generic controller templates provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the 'ACT Learn' mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''genericpluginparams.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''genericpluginparams.xml''' file stores a list of all plug-ins that you have inserted in a SONAR project, and contains a list of parameters for each plug-in. It lists the desired controllable parameters in the effect/synth plug-in and the &amp;quot;preferred&amp;quot; type of physical control (knob, switch, or slider).&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''MIDI Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure the ACT MIDI Controller to respond to the MIDI messages that are transmitted by your hardware MIDI controller or control surface. To enable, click directly on the appropriate “cell” to enable MIDI Learn mode for that control. When you see the “MIDI Learn…” text, wiggle the corresponding physical control on your MIDI controller. Once the ‘ACT MIDI Controller’ plug-in receives a MIDI message from you MIDI controller, it will automatically exit MIDI Learn mode. There is no “cell” for the modifier button, so instead you must click the ‘MIDI Learn…’ button in the bottom right corner. This will enable MIDI Learn mode for the Shift/Modifier button.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''ACT Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure which effect/synth parameter is assigned to which &amp;quot;cell&amp;quot;. To enable ACT Learn mode, click the ‘ACT Learn’ button in the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar. Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls. You can map multiple parameters while in ACT Learn mode, but it’s important that you wiggle the on-screen parameters and physical controls in the exact order you wish to map them. So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched. Click Yes to accept the assignments, or No to cancel.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Data Binding'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;quot;The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be 'smart' based on the ''preferred control type'' listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Usage'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the app UI focus changes to a plug-in:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR goes over all controller/surface plug-ins that support ACT (such as ACT MIDI Controller, EDIROL PCR-M30, etc.).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR loads up the list of effect/synth plug-ins (by surface CLSID) that that controller/surface knows about.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If this plug-in exists, SONAR builds the dynamic map exactly as is stored in sonaract.xml. If not, SONAR goes to the 'generic' plug-in parameter list in ''genericpluginparams.xml'', and using the 'preferred' controller type, makes a map of that controller/surface to that effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no 'generic' plug-in data for this plug-in, SONAR will just map the first N surface parameters to the first N plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Each effect/synth plug-in will ultimately be associated with each controller/surface.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What about changing the paramaters ACT controls in SONAR itself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry, no dice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No, this only applies to plug-in parameters. Host parameters are always displayed in a fixed order in Channel Strip mode, although this may be configurable in the future. You can configure which host parameters are assigned to the sliders and knobs in Multi Channel mode.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3. To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;

''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development. ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.asp?m=864581 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these generic controller templates provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the 'ACT Learn' mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''genericpluginparams.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''genericpluginparams.xml''' file stores a list of all plug-ins that you have inserted in a SONAR project, and contains a list of parameters for each plug-in. It lists the desired controllable parameters in the effect/synth plug-in and the &amp;quot;preferred&amp;quot; type of physical control (knob, switch, or slider).&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''MIDI Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure the ACT MIDI Controller to respond to the MIDI messages that are transmitted by your hardware MIDI controller or control surface. To enable, click directly on the appropriate “cell” to enable MIDI Learn mode for that control. When you see the “MIDI Learn…” text, wiggle the corresponding physical control on your MIDI controller. Once the ‘ACT MIDI Controller’ plug-in receives a MIDI message from you MIDI controller, it will automatically exit MIDI Learn mode. There is no “cell” for the modifier button, so instead you must click the ‘MIDI Learn…’ button in the bottom right corner. This will enable MIDI Learn mode for the Shift/Modifier button.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''ACT Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure which effect/synth parameter is assigned to which &amp;quot;cell&amp;quot;. To enable ACT Learn mode, click the ‘ACT Learn’ button in the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar. Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls. You can map multiple parameters while in ACT Learn mode, but it’s important that you wiggle the on-screen parameters and physical controls in the exact order you wish to map them. So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched. Click Yes to accept the assignments, or No to cancel.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Data Binding'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;quot;The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be 'smart' based on the ''preferred control type'' listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Usage'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the app UI focus changes to a plug-in: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR goes over all controller/surface plug-ins that support ACT (such as ACT MIDI Controller, EDIROL PCR-M30, etc.).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR loads up the list of effect/synth plug-ins (by surface CLSID) that that controller/surface knows about.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If this plug-in exists, SONAR builds the dynamic map exactly as is stored in sonaract.xml. If not, SONAR goes to the 'generic' plug-in parameter list in ''genericpluginparams.xml'', and using the 'preferred' controller type, makes a map of that controller/surface to that effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no 'generic' plug-in data for this plug-in, SONAR will just map the first N surface parameters to the first N plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Each effect/synth plug-in will ultimately be associated with each controller/surface.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What about changing the paramaters ACT controls in SONAR itself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry, no dice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No, this only applies to plug-in parameters. Host parameters are always displayed in a fixed order in Channel Strip mode, although this may be configurable in the future. You can configure which host parameters are assigned to the sliders and knobs in Multi Channel mode.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3. To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these generic controller templates provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the 'ACT Learn' mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''genericpluginparams.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''genericpluginparams.xml''' file stores a list of all plug-ins that you have inserted in a SONAR project, and contains a list of parameters for each plug-in. It lists the desired controllable parameters in the effect/synth plug-in and the &amp;quot;preferred&amp;quot; type of physical control (knob, switch, or slider).&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''MIDI Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure the ACT MIDI Controller to respond to the MIDI messages that are transmitted by your hardware MIDI controller or control surface. To enable, click directly on the appropriate “cell” to enable MIDI Learn mode for that control. When you see the “MIDI Learn…” text, wiggle the corresponding physical control on your MIDI controller. Once the ‘ACT MIDI Controller’ plug-in receives a MIDI message from you MIDI controller, it will automatically exit MIDI Learn mode. There is no “cell” for the modifier button, so instead you must click the ‘MIDI Learn…’ button in the bottom right corner. This will enable MIDI Learn mode for the Shift/Modifier button.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''ACT Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure which effect/synth parameter is assigned to which &amp;quot;cell&amp;quot;. To enable ACT Learn mode, click the ‘ACT Learn’ button in the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar. Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls. You can map multiple parameters while in ACT Learn mode, but it’s important that you wiggle the on-screen parameters and physical controls in the exact order you wish to map them. So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched. Click Yes to accept the assignments, or No to cancel.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Data Binding'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;quot;The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be 'smart' based on the ''preferred control type'' listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Usage'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the app UI focus changes to a plug-in: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR goes over all controller/surface plug-ins that support ACT (such as ACT MIDI Controller, EDIROL PCR-M30, etc.).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR loads up the list of effect/synth plug-ins (by surface CLSID) that that controller/surface knows about.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If this plug-in exists, SONAR builds the dynamic map exactly as is stored in sonaract.xml. If not, SONAR goes to the 'generic' plug-in parameter list in ''genericpluginparams.xml'', and using the 'preferred' controller type, makes a map of that controller/surface to that effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no 'generic' plug-in data for this plug-in, SONAR will just map the first N surface parameters to the first N plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Each effect/synth plug-in will ultimately be associated with each controller/surface.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What about changing the paramaters ACT controls in SONAR itself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry, no dice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No, this only applies to plug-in parameters. Host parameters are always displayed in a fixed order in Channel Strip mode, although this may be configurable in the future. You can configure which host parameters are assigned to the sliders and knobs in Multi Channel mode.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these generic controller templates provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the 'ACT Learn' mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''genericpluginparams.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''genericpluginparams.xml''' file stores a list of all plug-ins that you have inserted in a SONAR project, and contains a list of parameters for each plug-in. It lists the desired controllable parameters in the effect/synth plug-in and the &amp;quot;preferred&amp;quot; type of physical control (knob, switch, or slider).&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''MIDI Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure the ACT MIDI Controller to respond to the MIDI messages that are transmitted by your hardware MIDI controller or control surface. To enable, click directly on the appropriate “cell” to enable MIDI Learn mode for that control. When you see the “MIDI Learn…” text, wiggle the corresponding physical control on your MIDI controller. Once the ‘ACT MIDI Controller’ plug-in receives a MIDI message from you MIDI controller, it will automatically exit MIDI Learn mode. There is no “cell” for the modifier button, so instead you must click the ‘MIDI Learn…’ button in the bottom right corner. This will enable MIDI Learn mode for the Shift/Modifier button.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''ACT Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure which effect/synth parameter is assigned to which &amp;quot;cell&amp;quot;. To enable ACT Learn mode, click the ‘ACT Learn’ button in the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar. Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls. You can map multiple parameters while in ACT Learn mode, but it’s important that you wiggle the on-screen parameters and physical controls in the exact order you wish to map them. So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched. Click Yes to accept the assignments, or No to cancel.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Data Binding'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;quot;The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be 'smart' based on the ''preferred control type'' listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Usage'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the app UI focus changes to a plug-in: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR goes over all controller/surface plug-ins that support ACT (such as ACT MIDI Controller, EDIROL PCR-M30, etc.).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR loads up the list of effect/synth plug-ins (by surface CLSID) that that controller/surface knows about.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If this plug-in exists, SONAR builds the dynamic map exactly as is stored in sonaract.xml. If not, SONAR goes to the 'generic' plug-in parameter list in ''genericpluginparams.xml'', and using the 'preferred' controller type, makes a map of that controller/surface to that effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no 'generic' plug-in data for this plug-in, SONAR will just map the first N surface parameters to the first N plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Each effect/synth plug-in will ultimately be associated with each controller/surface.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What about changing the paramaters ACT controls in SONAR itself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry, no dice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No, this only applies to plug-in parameters. Host parameters are always displayed in a fixed order in Channel Strip mode, although this may be configurable in the future. You can configure which host parameters are assigned to the sliders and knobs in Multi Channel mode.&amp;quot;('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the 'ACT Learn' mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''genericpluginparams.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;The '''genericpluginparams.xml''' file stores a list of all plug-ins that you have inserted in a SONAR project, and contains a list of parameters for each plug-in. It lists the desired controllable parameters in the effect/synth plug-in and the &amp;quot;preferred&amp;quot; type of physical control (knob, switch, or slider).&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''MIDI Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure the ACT MIDI Controller to respond to the MIDI messages that are transmitted by your hardware MIDI controller or control surface. To enable, click directly on the appropriate “cell” to enable MIDI Learn mode for that control. When you see the “MIDI Learn…” text, wiggle the corresponding physical control on your MIDI controller. Once the ‘ACT MIDI Controller’ plug-in receives a MIDI message from you MIDI controller, it will automatically exit MIDI Learn mode. There is no “cell” for the modifier button, so instead you must click the ‘MIDI Learn…’ button in the bottom right corner. This will enable MIDI Learn mode for the Shift/Modifier button.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''ACT Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;quot;Configure which effect/synth parameter is assigned to which &amp;quot;cell&amp;quot;. To enable ACT Learn mode, click the ‘ACT Learn’ button in the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar. Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls. You can map multiple parameters while in ACT Learn mode, but it’s important that you wiggle the on-screen parameters and physical controls in the exact order you wish to map them. So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched. Click Yes to accept the assignments, or No to cancel.&amp;quot; ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Data Binding'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;quot;The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be 'smart' based on the ''preferred control type'' listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Usage'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the app UI focus changes to a plug-in: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR goes over all controller/surface plug-ins that support ACT (such as ACT MIDI Controller, EDIROL PCR-M30, etc.).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR loads up the list of effect/synth plug-ins (by surface CLSID) that that controller/surface knows about.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If this plug-in exists, SONAR builds the dynamic map exactly as is stored in sonaract.xml. If not, SONAR goes to the 'generic' plug-in parameter list in ''genericpluginparams.xml'', and using the 'preferred' controller type, makes a map of that controller/surface to that effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no 'generic' plug-in data for this plug-in, SONAR will just map the first N surface parameters to the first N plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Each effect/synth plug-in will ultimately be associated with each controller/surface.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What about changing the paramaters ACT controls in SONAR itself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry, no dice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No, this only applies to plug-in parameters. Host parameters are always displayed in a fixed order in Channel Strip mode, although this may be configurable in the future. You can configure which host parameters are assigned to the sliders and knobs in Multi Channel mode.&amp;quot;('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development.

===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls.

So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched.

===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Data Binding'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;quot;The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be 'smart' based on the ''preferred control type'' listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Usage'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the app UI focus changes to a plug-in: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR goes over all controller/surface plug-ins that support ACT (such as ACT MIDI Controller, EDIROL PCR-M30, etc.).&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;SONAR loads up the list of effect/synth plug-ins (by surface CLSID) that that controller/surface knows about.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If this plug-in exists, SONAR builds the dynamic map exactly as is stored in sonaract.xml. If not, SONAR goes to the 'generic' plug-in parameter list in ''genericpluginparams.xml'', and using the 'preferred' controller type, makes a map of that controller/surface to that effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no 'generic' plug-in data for this plug-in, SONAR will just map the first N surface parameters to the first N plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Each effect/synth plug-in will ultimately be associated with each controller/surface.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===What about changing the paramaters ACT controls in SONAR itself?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorry, no dice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No, this only applies to plug-in parameters. Host parameters are always displayed in a fixed order in Channel Strip mode, although this may be configurable in the future. You can configure which host parameters are assigned to the sliders and knobs in Multi Channel mode.&amp;quot;('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development.

===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the ‘ACT Learn’ mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Data Binding'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#&amp;quot;The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the ‘ACT Learn’ mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''genericpluginparams.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The '''genericpluginparams.xml''' file stores a list of all plug-ins that you have inserted in a SONAR project, and contains a list of parameters for each plug-in. It lists the desired controllable parameters in the effect/synth plug-in and the &amp;quot;preferred&amp;quot; type of physical control (knob, switch, or slider).&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''MIDI Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Configure the ACT MIDI Controller to respond to the MIDI messages that are transmitted by your hardware MIDI controller or control surface. To enable, click directly on the appropriate “cell” to enable MIDI Learn mode for that control. When you see the “MIDI Learn…” text, wiggle the corresponding physical control on your MIDI controller. Once the ‘ACT MIDI Controller’ plug-in receives a MIDI message from you MIDI controller, it will automatically exit MIDI Learn mode. There is no “cell” for the modifier button, so instead you must click the ‘MIDI Learn…’ button in the bottom right corner. This will enable MIDI Learn mode for the Shift/Modifier button.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''ACT Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Configure which effect/synth parameter is assigned to which &amp;quot;cell&amp;quot;. To enable ACT Learn mode, click the ‘ACT Learn’ button in the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar. Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls. You can map multiple parameters while in ACT Learn mode, but it’s important that you wiggle the on-screen parameters and physical controls in the exact order you wish to map them. So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched. Click Yes to accept the assignments, or No to cancel.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Data Binding: The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be &amp;quot;smart&amp;quot; based on the &amp;quot;preferred control type&amp;quot; listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;

# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the ‘ACT Learn’ mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''genericpluginparams.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The '''genericpluginparams.xml''' file stores a list of all plug-ins that you have inserted in a SONAR project, and contains a list of parameters for each plug-in. It lists the desired controllable parameters in the effect/synth plug-in and the &amp;quot;preferred&amp;quot; type of physical control (knob, switch, or slider).&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''MIDI Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Configure the ACT MIDI Controller to respond to the MIDI messages that are transmitted by your hardware MIDI controller or control surface. To enable, click directly on the appropriate “cell” to enable MIDI Learn mode for that control. When you see the “MIDI Learn…” text, wiggle the corresponding physical control on your MIDI controller. Once the ‘ACT MIDI Controller’ plug-in receives a MIDI message from you MIDI controller, it will automatically exit MIDI Learn mode. There is no “cell” for the modifier button, so instead you must click the ‘MIDI Learn…’ button in the bottom right corner. This will enable MIDI Learn mode for the Shift/Modifier button.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''ACT Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Configure which effect/synth parameter is assigned to which &amp;quot;cell&amp;quot;. To enable ACT Learn mode, click the ‘ACT Learn’ button in the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar. Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls. You can map multiple parameters while in ACT Learn mode, but it’s important that you wiggle the on-screen parameters and physical controls in the exact order you wish to map them. So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched. Click Yes to accept the assignments, or No to cancel.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Data Binding: The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be &amp;quot;smart&amp;quot; based on the &amp;quot;preferred control type&amp;quot; listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''sonaract.xml'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins.

&lt;br /&gt;
===What's the difference between ''MIDI Learn'' and ''ACT Learn''?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''MIDI Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Configure the ACT MIDI Controller to respond to the MIDI messages that are transmitted by your hardware MIDI controller or control surface. To enable, click directly on the appropriate “cell” to enable MIDI Learn mode for that control. When you see the “MIDI Learn…” text, wiggle the corresponding physical control on your MIDI controller. Once the ‘ACT MIDI Controller’ plug-in receives a MIDI message from you MIDI controller, it will automatically exit MIDI Learn mode. There is no “cell” for the modifier button, so instead you must click the ‘MIDI Learn…’ button in the bottom right corner. This will enable MIDI Learn mode for the Shift/Modifier button.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''ACT Learn'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Configure which effect/synth parameter is assigned to which &amp;quot;cell&amp;quot;. To enable ACT Learn mode, click the ‘ACT Learn’ button in the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar. Decide which effect/synth parameters you would like to assign to which physical controls. You can map multiple parameters while in ACT Learn mode, but it’s important that you wiggle the on-screen parameters and physical controls in the exact order you wish to map them. So, wiggle one or more parameters in the effect/synth property page, then wiggle the physical controls you wish to assign them to. To exit ACT Learn mode, click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar once again. A dialog box will pop up confirming how many parameters and controls were touched. Click Yes to accept the assignments, or No to cancel.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What is the logic ACT uses when it works with plug-ins?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;Data Binding: The mapping is designed to use as much info as we have saved in sonaract.xml and degrade gracefully. If we have information for a particular controller/surface about a particular effect/synth plug-in, it will do that exact mapping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no info about the effect/synth plug-in for this particular controller/surface, but the plug-in is listed in genericpluginparams.xml, it will map to that as a &amp;quot;starting point&amp;quot; for the user. This mapping will be &amp;quot;smart&amp;quot; based on the &amp;quot;preferred control type&amp;quot; listed in genericpluginparams.xml for the plug-in. For instance, the filter cutoff parameter will be mapped to some knob on the surface rather than a switch/button.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;If there is no generic plug-in parameter list for this plug-in in genericpluginparams.xml, SONAR will just dumbly map the first N controls on the controller/surface to the first N parameters on the effect/synth plug-in.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;quot;In all cases, the user is free to reassign mappings and the changes will be saved in sonaract.xml.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;

''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word.

SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development. ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.asp?m=864581 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===What are ACT's configuration files and what do they do?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* ''&amp;quot;The '''sonaract.xml''' file stores all custom mappings. [It] stores a list of parameter mappings between specific effect/synth plug-ins and specific controller/surface plug-ins. It allows your custom mappings to be remembered the next time you load an effect/synth, such that specific parameters are always assigned to the same physical buttons/knobs/sliders. SONAR writes to this file when you use the ‘ACT Learn’ mode on the Controller/Surface toolbar.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Can I change the order of the plug-in paramaters that are shown?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;The 'genericpluginparams.xml' file lists the order in which parameters will be mapped. If you use ACT Learn to re-map a specific plug-in, the new mapping is stored in 'sonaract.xml'.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=871413 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;

==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;

===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: ''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;

==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs. This can save you many hours of lost work in the case of a ill timed crash.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864813# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]). &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869798 Too bad no manual. More videos instead?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Due to their generic design [they] do not know anything about the physical controllers/surfaces that are connected, and therefore cannot write any proprietary messages to LCD displays.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Staff (Notation) View==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Are SONAR 6 files backwards compatible with Sonar 5?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Yes, SONAR 6 files are backwards compatible all the way back to SONAR 3. As long as you don't save projects with 64 bit audio they will open in SONAR 3.  To clarify - obviously SONAR 5 won't understand any new features from SONAR 6 such as audio snap and will discard this information when the file is loaded. So if you do save in SONAR 5 make sure you save as a new file name - otherwise the new data will be lost permanently on resave.&amp;quot;'' (''SOURCE:'' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863411# Noel Borthwick, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs.

===Then what controllers ''does'' ACT support out of the box?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;SONAR 6 ships with three [generic] control surface plug-ins that support ACT.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866283# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Do these plug-ins provide full support for the control surfaces?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. Our goal is for this FAQ to be '''the''' definitive source of answers to these questions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What's up with the new manual?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not very big. But you knew that. Here's the lowdown:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869001 Cakewalk, I want a hard copy Reference Manual]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where are those videos I keep hearing about?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can download them from Cakewalk's [ftp://ftp.cakewalk.com/pub/Images/SONAR/SONAR6_Videos/ FTP server]. As of October 3, they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==ACT==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===I'm having trouble with ACT!===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial reports of SONAR 6's ACT technology show it to be extremely problematic for virtually everyone who has tried to use it. Whatever your current problem is, chances are that others are experiencing it, too. Chances are also that there is as of yet no known solution, workaround or fix. In theory, ACT should be as easy as 1-2-3: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;The ability to remap plug-in parameters is one of the powerful features of ACT. Simply click the ACT Learn button on the Controllers/Surfaces toolbar, wiggle the parameter(s) you wish to map in the effect/synth property page, wiggle the physical contrl(s), then click the ACT Learn button again to exit learn mode.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note, however, that ACT is limited to controling whatever paramaters a given plug-in exposes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Rapture--and all other effects/synths that expose automatable parameters--can be controlled with ACT. If a synth or effect does not expose automatable parameters, then there is no way for ACT to adjust the plug-in parameters.&amp;quot;'' ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303# Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But that's just the beginning. As misery loves company, we refer you to the following SONAR Forum threads for specific tales of general ACT dread and gnashing of teeth, along with the occasional happy ending:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=863597&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key= Tackling ACT]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869113 The Solution to ACT's parameter jumps {would be} Value Scaling]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=866303 RESOLVED - ACT: Can can change default parameter mappings!!]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869132 Another ACT question &amp;amp; request]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869797 Sonar 6- ACT- what am I doing wrong]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=869857 Act undoing controller]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=870012 S6: How to use M-Audio USB Kbds as BOTH instrument and control surface]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864635 So, anyone with v6 using a mixing control surface?]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=865198 S6 and control surface support]&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=867041 ACT: Recommend a controller?]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Does ACT work with my controller?===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to be overly pessimistic, but... probably not. [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=864519&amp;amp;mpage=1&amp;amp;key=&amp;amp;#870890 Numerous user requests] for templates for different control surfaces have been made known to Cakewalk in various forum threads. What will come of this is still to be seen. However, a Mackie Control template for ACT is suppossed to be under development. ('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.asp?m=864581 Morten Saether, Cakewalk]).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is a list of forum threads discussing the use of ACT with various control surfaces:&lt;br /&gt;

No. Among other issues...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are exactly two:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
# ''&amp;quot;Select tracks using the '''PickTracks''' button in the toolbar&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''SOURCE:''' [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=853412 Tom Roussell, Cakewalk]&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does ''Crash Recovery'' work?==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Many crashes in DAW software are caused by plug-ins causing 'exceptions'. That's a kind word. Normally when this happens Windows will display an error and the application is terminated, typically resulting in data loss. SONAR 6 now attempts to detect such exceptions before the application is terminated and allows you to save your work. A dialog is displayed which allows you to save a copy of your currently edited project before SONAR shuts down. In most cases you can save a valid project when such a crash occurs.
