I don't know why but I do know that it can happen. I had a midi sequencer that 
I used to edit midis. I used to make midis with the keyboard but I'll soon be 
using sonar. Anyway, anything I made with the keyboard, the sequencer 
considered all of it as one track. So here's what I think. It's always a good 
idea to use different channels for different instruments and stuff because if 
you're going to do drums, you should put it on track 10. That's technically the 
only exception, but I'd normally put everything on different channels. Another 
reason is that it's plain easy to change the volume of certain channels and do 
other things like quantizing, panning, etc. to different channels then just do 
it to one that has everything on it. It's always a good idea. I may be totally 
wrong because I don't use Sonar. I'm planning to be able to use it soon.

  I have been setting all my TTS1 tracks to Channel 1.  Should I assign 
different channels for each individual track?  If so, why is this?  It's been 
working with everything using channel 1, but I could be missing something ...
