MarkT:
not all no offense, and frankly I guess that must have forgot. I will go back and look at your old post. Fact is that I literally got possession of BFD about a week back and that has forced my renewed inquiries with various forums and its all hard to keep up with especially when you want to spend most of your time composing
I downloaded the Sonar demo, upfront it seemed less intuitive than Audition so I was slightly turned off. Also I don't want to make to many investments in various DAWs.
thanks again for your feedback
