Hello, the recording a midi track without arming it first is not specific to JSonar or ct, there's an option in the general tab of sonar's global options which if you check it will let you record a midi track without arming it. CT might enable this by default as where JSonar allows the user to make this choice him/herself. To record multiple instruments (soft synths or midi tracks) just set the input echo to on instead of autothrough, and this time you will actually have to arm any midi tracks that you'd like to record on, except the one that will have focus. HTH, D!J!X! -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kelly Sapergia Sent: Friday, May 28, 2010 2:39 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Comments About CT So Far, and An AudioSnap 2.0 Question Hi, First, I just wanted to say that I've installed and configured CakeTalking, and so far am impressed! I'm learning the various commands using the Insert+H system, but all has worked well so far. I'm surprised that you can press R to start recording immediately on a MIDI track without arming it. At least with JSonar, you have to arm the MIDI tracks first before you start. If you wanted to record two instruments at the same time when using the MIDI Input Echo feature, how would you do that? Now, onto my question about AudioSnap. In previous versions of Sonar, you could enable a feature called Auto-Stretching so the audio could follow the project's tempo. However, at least from my first glimpse in 8.5.3, I don't see that. There is a button to follow a project's tempo, but it stays disabled. Is there something I need to do to enable this feature? Thanks. Yours Sincerely, Kelly John Sapergia For information regarding my Internet radio shows, links to my favorite sites, and more, visit my personal website at http://www.ksapergia.net/.
