Creating a new project

You can add music and sound to an existing project or to a new project. Just as in any Windows program, you open an existing project file using the File > Open command, and create a new project file using the File > New command.

When you create a new SONAR project, there are some additional parameters you can set to make it easier to work on your project. These include:

Meter and key signature

Metronome and tempo settings

Audio sampling rate

MIDI timing resolution
