Hmm, was discussing this with a sighted user of Sonar the other day and they weren't a fan of this at all. On the other hand, a lot of the sighted community do like it.

This feature makes comping astonishingly easy for the sighted user, but its 
metaphor doesn't really translate to non-mouse use.


Best wishes.

Well, in my oppinion, it is more trouble than it is worth.  As with many
features in Sonar, there are many ways to skin the same cat.  Layering is
mainly used to save multiple takes of a performance on the same track.  By
selecting a portion of a given layer, it is possible to use that portion of 
one performance, then select from another layer and use that passage.  By
muting and unmuting specific layers, it is possible to create a compositte
take excerpted from multiple peformances. As Phil said, it's really easier 
to save multiple performances on cloned tracks, then copy and paste to a
compositte track.  Yes, some prospective customers might cry for that
feature just because their friends are doing it that way, but we've been
using the event list instead of the piano roll for years, it's that sort of 
comparison.

Is anyone using this feature with SONAR 7?  Please tell me what works,
if anything,  and what doesn't.  I myself have never tried to use it.

Bill
