A question for Sonar X3 owners who have Harrison MIxbus.

How can I do this in Sonar? In Mixbus while editing, you can make a clip (or region) and select it. Then you can raise the gain with "Shift + up" or lower the gain with "Shift + &". The wave form changes in real time, which is very helpful (and cool). Can Sonar X3 do this? If not I need to make it a feature request, because I find it much better than manually writing in automation. Plus the visual of the wave form is pretty helpful.

    According to Anderton it is better for the waveform not to change but I don't agree with Craig on this at all.  Studio One also alters the waveform height too and yes it IS very helpful.  When you are practiced at it you can match rms levels almost perfectly by eye.  It saves much time.
     
    In Sonar you have to render the changes into the wave before the height of the waveform changes but I think that it slow and cluggy.  In most other DAW's the waveform height is reflected instantly and personally I think it is a great feautre.
     
    You can almost get a perfect mix just using clip gain alterations for example.  It is cool to be able to modify levels of individual audio clips like that and see the result too.

    Thanks Jeff...I was looking everywhere thinking surely Sonar could do this. Of course it does a million other things and I'm not complaining, but it would be a nice feature.

    It is a nice feature and one I wish we had in Logic as well. I can't see how updating the clip to display a waveform that reflects actual levels of the file would hurt. Worst case, make it optional.

    SONAR doesn't do the real-time waveform display update, but you can adjust the clip gain envelope in a similar fashion by using Ctrl+Vertical Drag near the top of the clip - that should put an active clip gain envelope on your cursor.  Once released the Edit Filter reverts back to clip mode (Shift+Click the envelope to make further changes).
