sequencer?

[undertow]

Hi, I use Sonar 2, and am wondering about the programs sequencing capabilities. sorry if the question is redundant, but i haven't been able to find the answer after several searches.
I want to be able to program beats using my own wave samples in the same environment as I record audio- so both aspects are linked, like with the midi sequencer. is this possible in sonar, or will I need another program? right now i use fruity loops but i would prefer something less loop based.- with more possibilities.
any help would be appreciated

You need a (DXi) sampler. If you have Sonar 2 XL you can use the DR-008.


And Sonar 2 is a sequenser. A sequenser record MIDI and plays it back.

Don't worry, SONAR is the best... Yeah, I mean it... THE BEST SEQUENCER EVER for MIDI stuff. Moskus was right, all you need is some DXi that sounds wave sample triggered by MIDI you record. DR-008 is one of the best included with SONAR 2 XL version...

Then why do you still use Cakewalk 3?

Because it wins the same award for different category...

...I heard Cubase also wins the same award for category "designed for dongle head users"

Is it the "James know how to use that program"-category?
