LEARNING WITH SONAR

WORKING IN A PROJECT

Most of the time in SONAR is dedicated to record and listen to the project as it develops. Toolbar transport, shown below, contains the most important tools and other pieces of information you need to record and play back the draft.

Each project has a current time is known as weather. When recording or playing back a project, the current time shows the position of the proposed placement. When you create a project, the current time is adjusted at the beginning of the project. The current moment in time that is saved in the project.

Control the recording and playback using the tools in the transport bar, which function as a cassette deck or CD player.

CREATING THE FIRST DRAFT.

We already know the main tools in SONAR to start, now try to do our first recording midi, check all devices starting with something simple like a small piano.

Later we will know more than SONAR and will expand our knowledge in this sequencer.

First we assign the midi device, which may be the sound card or an external midi keyboard, then we assign the channel to which we are going to work (each instrument has to go in a different channel) with the exception of batteries that always beats Iran in cana10.

I always got the piano midi channel 1
                         Under midi channel 2

And so, respectively.

A MIDI TRACK RECORD

 
Set the metronome

The musicians often use a metronome to keep track of the bar. Of the metronome sound is more versatile than many real metronomes. You can set to sound when playing or recording, the metronome can count any number of bars or early days, AND you can use audio clips to play MIDI notes or sounds is also quickly and accurately change tempo to occur in the project.

You can configure the toolbar with Metronome. If you can not see the Metronome toolbar, select View toolbar and select Metronome.

Configure the metronome to interpret audio clapperboard two bars of the record. This is what should be done

1. On the toolbar metronome click in the box clapperboard.

2. Use the + or - to adjust the value of clapperboard 2.

3. Click to select clapperboard bars.

4. Uncheck the option metronome during recording

5. Select the option to use the audio metronome

6. Uncheck the option to use MIDI metronome

If you uncheck metronome during recording, the metronome will be turned off after the bars of clapperboard. If preferred to hear the metronome throughout the project while recording, enable this option.

This example serves to record the metronome, not to play.
