Make select colors for tracks in bandlab Sonar project and saved. When I open the project later all the track colors are gone. How do you make tracks different colors and have them stay that way.

That will not save track colours.

To save track colours you have to save your project as a normal CWP project.

A midi file is not a project file and contains no information at all about the way you have setup or used the program that created it.

To do that you have to save in the file format specific to that software; in the case of Sonar, that's CWP or CXP.  

A MID file only contains MIDI information, such as notes, controllers, bank/patch name info, lyrics (depending on the file version) (but it is openable or importable by pretty much anything that can edit or compose MIDI data). 

 

If you don't need to open these files in some other program, use CWP or CXP. 

If you do, then still use CWP or CXP while you're editing, then save a final version that way.  Then do a separate SaveAs and choose the MID file format you need the other program or device to read.
