please give a listen and tell me i'm not bonkers in thinking there is some wow factor in this techno/breakbeat track. "Hoedown Throwdown" the attack on the bass is sweetness.
thanks!

i still write music linearally in track view. i convert things like a 4/4 kick into a loop for ease of dragging it out through the track but Sonar has a powerful Matrix view in which you can place loops and trigger them as desired. it seems it could be a quicker way to produce a track. it's like punching things in and out in a live performance. any of you use this type of method for writing?

perhaps you might like ableton, but it'd mean learning a new sequencer.
also i dont get the 4/4 kick comment ? - surely a 4/4 kick in midi form is just a little midi clip the same as it would be if you converted it into an audio loop which would still be a small clip the same size
dont get that.
??
anyways i'll re-boot and have a listen. (gotta reboot to reset soundcard)

wherever i can i convert clips to loops in Sonar. they are acidized loops which can be dragged out ad nauseum by either end, forwards or backwards. it's easier to drag a loop out for 64 bars than to copy/paste 16 times. it's neater and also minimizes computer power on playback. if i need to edit 4 bars i split those bars from the others. i loop both midi and audio clips. i often convert midi to audio in order to change pitch easily or to apply some effect or other or split everything into transients to work those. jeeeez you'd almost think i had a clue what the fuck i'm doing haha.
i hear a lot about Ableton Live but i'm going to stick with Sonar.
btw, there is a free open source program called Audacity 3.1. i downloaded it for it's claim to be able to remove ambient noise from things like vocals recorded on cheap systems. it works a charm. in some cases you have to settle for a happy medium but in others it can effectively remove all background noise without effecting the sound you want to keep. it does a lot of other things as well, effects-wise but i've not used it for anything but removing noise.

audacity is ok UNTIL you want to save an mp3 file, then youi are in a world of hurt trying to get the correct lame codec (which they cannot include for copyright reasons)
