Sonar 7 New Features - what's your favorite?

[Brian S]

So now that Sonar 7 has been released, what new feature(s) are you looking forward to most? Here are my top 5, in no particular order:

1. Smart MIDI Tools—The Inline Piano Roll in Sonar 6 was a big help, but you had to click around too much to switch between tools.
2. Multilane controller editing in Piano Roll view—Multiple controls can be viewed simultaneously, each in its own "lane" or combined.
3. Internal sidechaining!!!—For plug-ins that support it, including Sonar's and certain VSTs. This was arguably the biggest deficiency in Sonar's mix architecture.
4. External Insert Plug-in—This one won't have a big impact for me personally, but it's a big step forward for a lot of studios.
5. Shortcuts for assigning a series of audio inputs, and routing selected tracks/busses to the same input/output/main—This will save me time on every single project.

Hi Jason
Glad you got it sorted out. It doesn't matter how we compose our music as long as we compose and ENJOY!!! To me music is all about the FEEL!

I'm struggling with AUDIO SNAP, if anyone can help me.

I want to be able to take a stereo wav file that has been recorded without a click track and extract the timing from part of it, then apply that to the whole track.

Do I have to cut the song up into smaller pieces because the data is too large?

Has anyone been successfull with this?

What other programs are out their that might help me do this?
