I guess its all about how you use it...

I, for instance, simply use it for recording song ideas/riffs.
I don't see Sonar as just a plain old sequencer at all, for me, Cubase v2.0 along with an old Atari ST, was a quote sequencer quote, if you know wot I mean?

There are lots of good reasons for this behavior.

Recording:

1. If you're attempting to play a difficult instrument part that begins
at bar 32, for example, then you can set now time to 30, hit record,
wait for the two bars of pre-roll, and play. If you mess up, you stop,
hit un-do, and hit record again. Depending on the project, you might not
even need to hit un-do, and could simply be in over-write record mode.
Then, each time you wanted to try the take again, you could just press
space to stop and hit record to have another pass.
2. If you're recording drum parts, you might want to play them in as
layers. In sound-on-sound mode, you can set yourself to a point before
the place where the drums will begin, hit record, play a part like hats,
press stop, press record, play kick, press stop, press record, play
snare, etc etc. Since you always start from the same place, you can go
over it and over it until it is fine, and you're ready to move on to
another part of the project.

Mixing:

If you're trying to work out levels in a particular section, you can
make adjustments, press play to listen, press stop, make changes, press
play to hear the same section again, and so-on.

Of course, any of this stuff could also be accomplished by using markers
or, in some cases, using the from/through time as a type of quick place
marker. The now return feature, though, allows you to accomplish the
return/record/return/record/etc type tasks with fewer keystrokes,
though.

Of course, this isn't the best working approach for everyone, and that's
why you can turn it off. It's on by default because, no matter what else
you can do with it, Sonar is first and foremost a sequencer.

Yep!  I was aware of that, I dunno why she doesn't check that little box
in
options/global instead?

Then one press of the space bar will stop the project at the quote now
quote
position, instead of having to press 2 keys at once?

I mean, if you want your project to always return to 0 when you press
the
space bar, its just as quick to press W, Why make life more of a hassle?

That keyboard shortcut enables the user to stop a project in Sonar at

a

specific point.

Why do you press ctrl + space to stop your project?

Hi all,
So yes, I upgraded my system to Sonar 8 and now I'm happily trying

to

find out how the new system works. It really seems there are
bunch of cool new things to learn... But I have one very serious
problem. I don't know why, but CTRL key does not work properly in
Sonar. Changing keyboard layout to English does not help, I can't

find

anything I could change... but for example if I try to press
ctrl+space for stopping my project, Jaws says "Play" and it just
continues to play. Any ideas what I could do?

Johanna
