What I do, is go to the previous bar to the actual drop point, then press "record", and start playing from there. I find that I only need 1 bar of the click to get me lined up, but you can alter the amount of count-in bars in the metronome options. Mind you, you gotta have Sonar set so you can record over existing audio...

About four years ago, I went to Sonar and recording to the computer. I started off with the Tascam 428 control surface. I noticed that I was having trouble with my punches being totally clean and in 06, I got a Mackey control surface that worked better and the punches got cleaner. I don't mean it as cocky, but, one of the things I am known for is the amazing things I can punch. So, I am frustrated that even now, for no reason I can determine, some times the punches aren't clean, they have pops or clicks in them. It doesn't happen every time so I am at a loss to explain it. Any info you all can share about punching using Sonar would be helpful. I Don't use the punch mode in Sonar as It always wants you to set some kind of From and Through time and you know that you are some times cutting in on frames let alone measures... Anyway, thanks in advance. Joey
