Hello: I'm assuming that you'd like for a different loop to play while your chords change, such as a drum fill-in. If that's the case do the following: 1. Make sure that you're in sonar and on a blank track, preferably track 1. 2. Import a loop into sonar by pressing AltF followed by the letter M. 3. Press enter for audio. 4. You will then be presented with the file name prompt. 5. at this point, you can find the loop, or, loops that you want to incorporate into your song. 6. Once you've found the first loop press enter on it and sonar will import that loop into your track. 7. From here, you'd have to know how many measures you'd for your main drum pattern to play. For example: Let's say that you'd like for you first drum pattern to play for 8 measures. Do the following: 1. Hold the Alt key while pressing the enter key twice quickly to select the entire loop track. 2. Press control C to copy your loop. 3. The copy dialog in sonar will open up. Make sure that Jaws says that the event and clops checkboxes are checked. 4. Press the tab key until you land on the ok button. 5. Press enter. 6. Assuming that your original drum pattern is one measure long, press con trol V to paste. 7. Now, the paste dialog will open up. 8. Press the tab key to where Jaws says starting time. 9. It will probably say something like 101:00. 10. You want to change that first 1 to 2:01:00, so that the loop can play after the first bar. 11. Tab to where Jaws says repetition. 12. Type in 7, as you'd like the loop to play 7 more times. 13. Press tab until you get to the ok button and press enter. 14. Wait at least a minute or two so that sonar can process what you've just done. 15. Now, to add a drum roll, press the #8 on the number row to go to the eighth bar. This is where your next loop will come in. 16. Import another loop by following the steps above. 17. Make sure that this loop for example is on track 2 as well. 18. If this new loop starts at the beginning of your track, select it as previously described above, press control X to cut it, and control V to paste it at bar 8. I hope this helped, let me know ok?
