Hi guys!
Is anybody using a wacom touch tablet to control Sonar?
If yes with what results?
Thanks! :)

Given you don't really need the fidelity to draw lines in Sonar, wouldn't constantly picking up a pen interface be more awkward/cumbersome than laying your hand over a mouse?

I suffer from pains in the wrists and hands and want to limit the use of the mouse

Instinct with a pen is to lock the wrist so that's a good choice then. I have a tablet but only ever used it for Painter... and I'm still to new to Sonar to offer any useful advice. I would at least say that your choice of nib may also have an impact. I'd try some different nibs as a way of fine tuning your experience.

Never thought to use my wacom tablet for that.  Have you tried using a track ball? Not intuitive for me but i know a few people with wrist issues that swear by them.

I've used a Wacom multi-touch tablet with Sonar and it works OK, though not as well as an iPad app such as V-Control Pro for some things.

The downside is you have to fight your way through Window's many assorted and often conflicting tablet PC and accessibility settings.

i have an old wacom and over 1.5 decades have developed a solid right hand pen left hand mouse technique but the knobs on Sonar (and older CW versions) have never been pen friendly.  I think the pen is some good variety and adds to thoughtful moments as you can tap it and always stick it behind your ear.  In Sound Forge with the pen/mouse combo I am wicked fast at editing using the mouse wheel to zoom and the pen to mark positions on the timeline.

Great question.  I have one gathering dust, maybe will get it out and try.  The constant mousing in sonar X series is driving me to come to user forums and complain. 

Thanks a lot for all your replies! Seems that it's not the solution... not precise enough...I fear that the trackball is not so ergonimic...
Maybe a Roland V Studio 700 C ??
