Thanks, Jim. Is there anything I need to get someone to do to configure it better? When I got the thing, I just installed the software and plugged in the USB. It's seemed to work well enough for SoundForge (though occasionally it will set itself to 0 volume and I have to find someone to set it back); and I don't know whether it's going to be the most suitable for Sonar here at home, as I think I'll need a mixer of some sort, along with a cheaper sound card for Jaws, midi interface and some kind of keyboard (did I leave anything out?). Any help appreciated.
