Start a project
The Tools tab project guide
A project can be started from the project guide by clicking on the project name, or on the graphic icon next to the project name.

When starting a new project, you will typically follow a basic three-step process:

  1. Select a project from the project list.
  2. Follow the instructions in the project window.
  3. Click on the action button.

It is also possible to save projects and run them later. By default, saved projects are stored in your My Documents folder with a .sonic file name extension. You can open a saved project by double-clicking on its file name.


Tips   Step-by-step

  • Saved projects can also be opened by choosing File > Open.
  • You can set up and record more than one project at a time with the following limitations:
    • Two projects of the same type cannot be open at the same time.
    • Some versions of the program limit the number of projects that can be open at the same time. You will be notified if you attempt to exceed this limit.
  • When you open a saved project, you will be notified if any of the files in the project are missing. This can happen if a file is moved or deleted after a project is saved. To restore a missing file, add the file again from its new location.


To start a new project, do one of the following:
  • Choose File > New Project, then choose a project from one of the submenus.
  • Click on a project tab in the project list. A list of projects appears. Click on a project name to start a new project of that type.
  • Click on a project tab in the project list. If a project guide is listed, click on it. Descriptions of all the projects on that tab are listed in the project window. Click on one of these descriptions to start a project of that type.
  • Click on the New Project button to save or cancel the current project and start a new project of the same type.
