SONAR LE will run automatically after installation, or else
click the icon created on the desktop.
To initially configure SONAR X1 LE with ZED:
Create a normal Cakewalk project (an option offered
when starting SONAR).
In Edit/Preferences configure the I/O—enable the USB
Audio CODEC under Devices. This is the ZED interface.
For now, disable any other devices listed, for example the
computer’s internal soundcard listed here.
In SONAR X1 LE different views are available. The Track
view shows audio and MIDI tracks in a timeline aspect and
the Console view shows a mixer style layout. Different
views can be displayed by the “dock” tabs at the bottom of
the screen. On the left is the Track Inspector.
Add an audio track or two clicking Insert/Audio Track.
Tracks can be named by clicking the name box, here we
have named tracks 1&2 ZED-Left and ZED Right.
Configure the inputs for the tracks using the IN/OUT
routing drop-down menu in the Track Inspector. Here we
select LEFT USB Audio to track 1 and RIGHT USB Audio
to track 2. The track outputs are routed to the Master bus
in SONAR.
Select the output for the Master bus in SONAR by clicking
the drop-down arrow in the Inspector and selecting
STEREO USB Audio CODEC which is the ZED USB re-
turn.
In order to check the configuration, enable Input Echo On
(the top right button in the track view header). Play some
audio through your ZED mixer and select the USB send
buttons to the audio signal (for example the L-R mix).
N.B. Do not route the USB return to the L-R mix in your
ZED mixer at this stage—a feedback loop could occur.
You should see the signal on the metering in SONAR LE.
To try a recording, enable the Record buttons on the
tracks and click the main Record button on the transport
toolbar. Recorded audio signal should be displayed in red.
Click stop, or hit the space bar on your keyboard to stop
the recording.
Once you have recorded audio in your SONAR project
you can play it back to the ZED mixer.
De-select the record arm buttons and Input Echo on the
tracks (or you could get both the recorded track signal
AND the live input signal playing, and possibly a feedback
loop).
Press play or hit the spacebar on the keyboard. You should
see the audio being played and levels on the meters in SO-
NAR.
On your ZED mixer, Press USB Rtn ON and turn the level
up to the desired point. Audio should be playing from the
Pa 28 161
tracks in SONAR to the L-R bus in your ZED.
