    Oldie but goodie tutorial on doing dub style delays with Sonar:

    The information is still valid . You cannot mix and export at the same time unless you are recording the output to another program.  What you can do instead is set the automation to write while you are mixing with a control surface using this technique and it will save the movements.

    Just noticed the video account was closed.  that sucks since it was very well done.  fortunately following the written portion should guide you.

    There's no need to mix live and, at the same time, export what you are mixing. You'd gain absolutely nothing by doing it either, other than enshrining your errors is the exported audio.

    Most complex mixes involving multiple fader/pot/button movements and hardware processors going direct to tape in the "old technology" days required more than one engineer to carry out because one human doesn't have enough appendages to work it all at the same time.

    Mixing dub "old style" with a mixing desk, only hardware processing and tape recorder was a very hit and miss, trial and error affair. It also involved doing lots of bounce-downs and overdubs to make best use of a limited track count and limited available hardware, so recorded dub was hardly a "live" performance mix most of the time either.

    Just enable automation on what you want to adjust and mix. If unhappy with the results simply edit the automation and think yourself lucky you don"t have to do re-runs of the whole thing until everything hangs together. When happy with the mix, export it.

    I recently did a dub mix in Sonar X3e using four instances of Native Instruments Replika that utilized send envelope and mute envelope automation. What I did was to place nodes on the envelopes and manually draw in the automation at the desired locations. If your are familiar with Replika this was the setup:
    1. Lead guitar and sporadic snare side stick hits - Diffusion Mode.
    2. Piano reggae vamp - Modern Mode with Phaser engaged.
    3. Long Dub echoes - Modern mode.
    4. Short Dub echoes - Modern mode.
    The link below, you'll hear the results of what Sonar can accomplish Dubwise with the dub echoes occurring at the latter part of the song. Check it out.

    @DeBro

    Have you experienced any issues with Replika?
    I love the plugin but after a while it starts to slow SONAR down and I have to restart SONAR or do without the plugin. Wasn't expecting anything like that after the recent update for Replika.

    According to Lee "scratch" Perry, you should blow ganja smoke on the master tapes and bury in yard for several days. Perhaps master on to a jump drive and bury that!

    FWIW, if you upgraded Replika to v1.2.2, consider rolling back to v1.2.1. The latest point release was for a specific problem. People without that problem have suffered serious issues with Replika v1.2.2. I had to roll mine back. Here's a thread on the subject.
