    New Sonar 5

    Using MIDI in Sonar 3

    I'm new to working with MIDI in Sonar 3, whats the best way to edit a group of notes? Just now I can only edit one at a time by using the piano roll view. I have set-up a MIDI drum track and all the hi-hats are too loud so I need to bring the overall volume down.

    I have a home recording studio & was recently told that I should invest in a headphone pre-amp, so that I could get better sound quality through my headphones & have more headphone outputs. Does anyone know if this would be a good investment & if so how does it give better quality?
