Carllackey, you may get disappointed if you expect some kind of clear step towards simplicity in MC7 compared to SONAR.
All the basic functions/principles are about the same, MC7 just has less of VSTs and has some limitations
regarding simultaneous inputs etc. The basic recording of audio or MIDI/softsynths and editing and mixing are done in a similar way. AFAIK, in order to get your vocals or guitar on the track there's not one single button less to press or slider to move in the other compared to the other. And that goes practically to all DAWs. It's in the more advanced features (which entry level DAWs don't usually have) that differences in workflows and VST sets makes somebody prefer one DAW to another.
If it only was possible to hide half of SONARs drop down windows and buttons, it would be practically the same usabilitywise as MC7. The most important thing is that your audio interface has good drivers.
