Basic Audio Editing Newb Question

Hi guys,  So basically i come from the land of Pro Tools and cakewalk 9 (old skool i know), and i really dig the set up of the latest Sonar platforms. What is really bugging me and i can never find anything to educate myself on this, is i cant edit any of my guitar, vocal or instrument takes once ive recorded them like i could in Pro Tools.  By this, i mean for example i could just record a track, click and drag over it and pretty much delete parts of it, snip it, cut it, edit the .wav and pre roll over it, but with Sonar i cannot find a way to do this, and its pretty much the only reason i dont use it and its annoying as hell! This is basic editing stuff and i still cant find how to do it.  If your'e still confused on what i mean, i basically just want to edit the audio file, but when i double click the .wav in Sonar it goes big and i cant do anything? Even in Cakewalk 9 i can edit the audio take to some extent even though its basic and old as hell!!  What am i missing here guys, can anyone chuck me a tutorial video or school me on this so i can FINALLY use sonar and rid myself of the filth that Pro Tools is?  Thanks in advance!  Mitch 

Sonar 8 Producer Edition...

Im just in need of a tutorial vid somewhere on the web OR someone to chuck me a little guide on how to achieve similar editing to Pro Tools where you cut sections of the audio and drag and highlight certain parts ect.

By this, i mean for example i could just record a track, click and drag over it and pretty much delete parts of it, snip it, cut it, edit the .wav and pre roll over it, but with Sonar i cannot find a way to do this,

Maybe I'm missing something but, that's pretty easy using key modifiers (cntrl, alt) along with the mouse. 
"S" will split. 


However, then you say "edit the wav". That could be a multitude of things I guess. 
Do you have a link to whatever it is you want to do that is done in another program.
I must be missing something and I don't like to miss things:)

Sonar doesn't have a wave editor

Really? What do you mean by that? I sure do a lot of editing of waveforms on tracks: copy, cut, paste, move, overlay, slide, reverse, add effects, eq, pitch correct, groove clip, etc... 

Dave if you have ever used a REAL wave editor you would know what we are referring to. 

If you have ever tried Cubase you will see. 

You double click the track and the editor opens. Most of the tools are also under a right click. You can open plug ins like say an EQ  and they remain open until you close them. You apply the process by simply  highlighting parts. There are dozens of keyboard short cuts to navigate the track. The plug in remains open and the setting static. 
With Sonar you use it once and it's gone. You have to repeat the menu process and reset the EQ settings each time,,, very slow.

That sounds like BS to me. I can do whatever I want with my tracks, If they need that much editing, then I re-record them. I believe in playing music, not editing it on a computer. Call me "old school".
