Anyone know the deal with what seems to be two active outs now? THe first one affects the second ones output, seems a little weird.
One is a master bus and one is a main out.
Sonar 3 has a main output section which consists of one fader for each of your enabled soundcard output pairs. There is a bus pane in track view, but no main out pane, so the main output faders are only visible in console view. They control volume to your soundcard(s)... nothing else.
You are probably using a master bus and it operates just like any bus or sub-group fader. New to Sonar 3, output from the busses can be routed anywhere, AND you can insert "sends" to other busses or main outs (soundcard output pairs)... to simultaneously route the same signal to mulitple places.
If you don't opt for importing your Normal.cwt template settings from Sonar 2 during Sonar 3 installation, all tracks in
the Sonar 3 default template are routed to a Master Bus which is routed to your soundcard main output fader.
You of course can delete ALL the buses if you want to and just route your tracks to the main output fader, but effects and sends can only be inserted on busses, not main output faders, so the signal path should be track -> master bus -> main out.
If seeing the main out fader bugs you, just right click on it and then select "Hide Main" and it's gone.
Use the Track Manager to bring it back if you want.
