It's not heresy to talk about other software but considering its Cakewalks forum and they pay for it and this is the Sonar forum it might be worth thinking about whether it's a really an ethical thing to do.
The original poster said he does not play an instrument or sing, and his only experience with any kind of a DAW was Garage Band (which isn't even really a DAW). Given that information I think it would be unethical
not to point him to something far simpler to learn and use than Sonar.
That said, Ian1957, I applaud your move to Music Creator. It may be a challenge, but I'm sure you'll be able to get all the help you need in these forums. Welcome!
