Yup, playback rhythm track in a loop, drag different bits down  in EZD for verse chorus etc, and when done, drag the whole shebang into Sonar. I tried dragging just the loop for the verse chorus and then extending the loop in Sonar, but the drums sounded more lifelike when I did the whole song in EZD first, and then move the whole shebang. There is probably a better way to accomplish this, but at least it worked!

Andy/Synkroton, Thanks for replying.  I love synths.  I wore out my copy of Switched On Bach three times.  I also like lots of EDM stuff.  It's just not the bag I'm in for writing at this moment in time.

Ah, yes... Wendy (Walter) Carlos 
 
I must admit that, for someone who claims to be a very big synthesiser fan, I never bothered checking out any of Wendy Carlos material, except when I happened across some of her movie soundscapes. She was a pioneer of all things Moog. Probably because Switched On Bach was released back in 1968 (I was eight at the time) and I hadn't really started to listen to music seriously at that time, and certainly not to classical stuff.
 
By the time I was ten I was turned onto The Planets after a visit to the Planetarium in London on a school trip. The Planets was the first "LP" I ever bought and my dad let me play it on his Rigonda:-
 

 
Later on in life, when I discovered Isao Tomita, I did venture into classical works arranged and played on a synthesiser. This, in turn, got me into Debusy, Mussorgsky and Stravinsky. Funnily enough, I never did listen to The Planets done by Tomita.
 
cheers
