Hi Guys, New to Sonar and trying to follow instructions to define a new groove.
I follow the instructions below (I select 4 bars of Drum Audio, copy to the Clipboard, Process Groove Quantize) but there is no option to select "clipboard" as  the "Groove File" & "Define" is greyed out. What am I doing wrong?
 
To define a new groove
1.  Select the music that defines the groove using any of the selection tools and commands.
2.  Choose Edit > Copy to place the music onto the Clipboard. 
You can now use the Groove Quantize command with the Clipboard as the “Groove File.” To save a groove pattern 1.  Select the music that defines the groove using any of the selection tools and commands.
2.  Choose Edit > Copy to place the music onto the Clipboard. 
3.  Choose Process > Groove Quantize to display the Groove Quantize dialog box.
4.  Choose the Clipboard as the groove “Groove File.”
5.  Click the Define button to display the Define Groove dialog box.

I am not sure if I understand your question properly. The method I have always used is to have the data to be grooved in a track. At that point, you can right click on the clip and select "Groove-Clip Looping" from the pop-up menu. I am confused by "clipboard" as data needs to be pasted "somewhere" for software functions to work on it.

It is when you want to create a groove out of an existing piece of Midi (That was my problem I was using Audio [similar to what you do in Cubase] but it must be Midi (at least for this method {I'm New to Sonar})
So you create the groove by the method (posted above) and apply it to other tracks.
