SONAR PLATINUM EXCLUSIVE RECORD
LOVE having the "Exclusive Solo" option...."Exclusive Record" would be amazing, though. Although I DO record bands and ensembles on occasion....I'm recording ONE THING (voice or instrument) 90% of the time. As I add guitar tracks, or have the vocalist do multiple stacks, I have to DISABLE record on each track as we do it, and ENABLE record on the next track. "Exclusive Record" would greatly speed up stacking tracks, or tracking multiple parts as one instrumentalist.
Thoughts?

probably one of the more frequent things I do as well. while their at it, why not link the input echo button with the exclusive record as well. im sure you guys know what I mean.
Another great feature is "Solo Override".

If you click on the record indicator button in the control module (can't think what it's called), it will un-arm (?) any tracks that were set to record.
Then you just need to arm the track you want to record to.
The same goes for solo and mute.
HTH, and I have not misunderstood the problem.

It's still at least 2 clicks - more if you want to engage input echo on the newly armed track.
A one click solution would be heaps better.

A lot of suggestions seem fairly specific to what one person wants, but this is pretty clever and universal. I'm in.

+1 But I want to add yet another "fairly specific" wish (I do not see anything one user specific in previous posts... but since Craig think so...  ) I guess many "home users" have limited number of analog and MIDI inputs. And so I wish the third "mode" for Exclusive Record Arm (in addition to On and Off): Input Exclusive Record Arm. Except for doubling VSTi, it make no big sense to record the same input on more than 1 track. At the same time different inputs to different tracks can be desired. F.e. I have my DP and 2x audio interface. For my n00b needs I sometimes record Mic input with DP (MIDI) in parallel (or Mic with Guitar in parallel). What I have never done so far is recording (the same) Mic into 2 (or more) tracks in parallel. I mean I would prefer to replace "Non exclusive record Arm" (how it currently works) with "Input exclusive". And have "Absolute exclusive" in addition. Well... I know how to make it work that way without Sonar modification

Many of us are gumbies by nature and having to remember that you have a track set to record in a sea of strips is often beyond us. It is sometimes asking too much for us to look up here to see first if the "something is record armed" light is on, with the penalty for not doing so is to spray audio where it is not intended.

I appreciate that. I was merely offering the OP an alternative to "I have to disable record on each track" , thus one click replacing many.

Good idea. However, I would not link the Input Echo button as suggested. Many of us do not use that. For example, I use a Fireface UFX for all monitoring so I do not use the Input Echo for recording. It may become annoying to have to disable that each time.

I'm the opposite. I often monitor through the DAW rather than the UFX because I've put modulation or delays with different settings on tracks/aux channels in the DAW and use them to build patterns and need to hear them all the time. So I'm generally monitoring through the DAW rather than hooking up a lot of external hardware fx.
So I like the echos to be on most of the time on a bunch of tracks, not just the ones I'm recording to.

I do a lot of multi track recording and use a control surface, so everything is just 2 buttons away
unless fully configurable back to what we currently have I am the first to opt against. sonar is not just bedroom studio only and auto-echo feature like that on the MIDI tracks have caused serious headaches before.
hitting exclusive record by mistake in case of multiple track recordings can have devastating consequences (just think of live recordings)

And if you have more tracks than you surface? Do you see on your surface (or anywhere else) how many tracks are armed in the entire project?
unless fully configurable back to what we currently have I am the first to opt against. sonar is not just bedroom studio only and auto-echo feature like that on the MIDI tracks have caused serious headaches before.
The original proposal was to make it an OPTION, like exclusive solo. So the default will be still the same. If you against my "replacement" for the default (which by the way I also asked to be an OPTION), can you provide some example when you want to record one audio input into several tracks simultaneously?
hitting exclusive record by mistake in case of multiple track recordings can have devastating consequences (just think of live recordings)
If you do not hit "all record disarm" button by mistake (which is already there) probably you will not hit "exclusive record" switch near it

This option could be set with a flag in AUD.INI

I like this idea too, but I'm with Sylvan as I only need the input echo on for specific situations...

you see it in the console view - the red filled circles using quick groups works fine with CS / arm all tracks in folder does the trick with the mouse in general, I still believe there are more useful features to be implemented than replacing something that takes 3 clicks at the most (disarm all + arm track + enable track monitoring) with something that takes one click ... theoretically this is a 3 times speed up, but in the total recording, editing, mixing process is probably less than 0.000001 percent
