Hi! I may have asked this before-If I did,I forgot the answer-sorry. I drag/drop a midi drum pattern into a midi track. I highlight and copy it many times over just as you do here to get a basic song. In piano roll view,I open 1 of the measures to add a fill. But-the fill goes on EVERY measure of the song! Its so angering. Any ideas?Thanks again

Not sure why that happens - must be a setting somewhere. . .

Here is a way to work around it. Make them into one clip !

Highlight all the clips, the entire track - and right click to "bounce to clips".

Now surely you can add fills etc

good luck

first scuse me for my english (I speak french:P) when i will record my guitar and the voice ,this program cut with no one reason and i don't know what it does that .

What i do for adjust this cut not voluntary :P?

This is called a "dropout". It can be caused by many things.

First, be sure you are using the right driver mode. See "Sonar First Time Set Up" for more about driver modes.

Also be sure you have the most recent updated drivers for your sound card or audio interface.

If you have a good computer with lots of RAM, Sonar should work well.

Good luck

I suggest you check on the cakewalk forum for that. Its free to use and there are some very smart people on there. Its been years since I used a setup like that. It must be very simple these days? You would set Sonar to be the master (see Sonar Options / Timecode ) Then set your keyboard to be the slave (refer to the SY77 manual for that)

good luck

When you get a chance can you either tell me exactly where to go to find the exact info or tell me how to setup my SY 77 Yamaha sequencer as a SLAVE to Sonar ( I have Home Studio 6 ). I want to record 1 track from the keyboard. Then the 2nd track to sync with the 1st and so forth. I don't know the settings and tech support told me they can't help because they don't know about that keyboard. When I hit start on Sonar I want the keyboard to start. Thank you so much..
