if im opening soft synths I don't have NI and battery 3, do I have to download that ?

[gearwire]

you can use another drum machine. There's session drummer in sonar, but I don't really like using it. There are some good freeware one s out there though.

@gearwire then you should have said that

Im hoping i can use superior drummer 2 with sonar 8 since it takes up 18 gig of my hard drive haha.

You can always count on F "EL Stupido" users to cruise other DAW users' YT pages proclaiming it's the absolute best - through misspelled words. Go make wack stuff with your cracked stuff and leave Sonar and Studio One, etc.. to the real musicians and producers that don't need a "riff machine" .

@gearwire Hey thanks for the video. Session drummer is what I use. I extended a short pattern throught the song by clicking and dragging on the clip in sonar (Step sequencer was used) I can't move or delete portions of the clip? It gets selected but functions like cut and copy and delete are grayed out. This happenes only for SD. Other midis and vsts are fine. Any help?

I'm looking at creating heavy metal type tracks with this software, so do you think that a double-bass kick drum sound is achievable? Thanks for any help you can offer.

@DJIsaac323 FL is a toy compared to sonar, which a serious production prog for musicians not really for DJ`s who play with loops

[DJIsaac323]

FL Studio is better!!!!! this is to confusing!!!!!!!
