Hello - It's been a long time between upgrades for me. Once upon a time I was pretty well versed in Sonar 8. Started a family...blah, blah, blah. Starting to get back into it. Decided it was time for a DAW overhaul and upgrade to cakewalk. I'm pleasantly surprised by the latest release everything seems to be an overall improvement. There is one tool that I used to use all the time that I can't seem to replicate. I like to "re-produce" covers - just for my own fun and amusement. My biggest issue is always setting the tempo map to match the original song, I do this for drum parts. In Sonar 8 I was able to simply click on the source track, hit F12 and it would launch Audio Snap Palette. I would adjust the threshold to set my transients at about every beat. Then I could move from transient to transient and click Set Measure / Beat at Now, and it would "re-set" the measure to whatever value I told it. I found this to be a pretty fool proof way of setting the project temp and metronome to more or less follow the source material. I can't seem to duplicate this function with the upgraded software. any help here would be appreciated.
