I tried this in the Sound-on-Sound forum with no reply. I'm sure I'll do better here. This refers to Sonar 1.3.1 but I dont think 2 will be any differant.
1: Is it possible to rehearse to the metronome before actually recording? Sonar is the first sequencer I've come across that won't play unless you first record something.
2: Can a midi part be looped individually - so that it plays until you hit stop? It can't really be necessary to copy it all the way through, can it? I very often want to make a basic drum loop to record the rest of the song to before building a proper "play thru" drum track.
3: Is it possible to get the Sonar transport to be fully remote controlled from another device? I can get it to wait for sync and then stop by remote and it will jump to song position pointer but it seems silly to have to hit play in Sonar before play on the master device everytime.
