SONAR now provides seamless integration of your external hardware effect processors and MIDI instruments. Latencies for external hardware will now automatically be measured and compensated through SONAR's plug-in delay compensation (PDC). SONAR's External Insert plug-in for outboard gear appears in SONAR's plug in menu where it can be inserted into the audio fx bin on any track or bus.  

When using External Inserts you have control over send and receive port assignments, send phase invert, as well as automatable send and return gain trim (+/-24dB) All parameters can be saved in presets. With SONAR's new Real-time Bounce, Export and Freeze options, you can use External Inserts in your projects through all phases of production.  Freeze tracks that use External Inserts at any time to permanently capture the processing of your favorite outboard gear and instruments—perfect for collaboration with other studios that may not have your particular outboard hardware.
