I bought Sonar Artist a few months ago and I'm struggling.  I'm a working musician who needs to create new and edit existing MIDI files.  Also, I need to create audio tracks (Vocal harmonies) with my midi files and Edit existing MP3 tracks.  Can anyone out there help me with my questions?  Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Welcome!
I'm sure many here would be glad to help. What exactly is your question?

Thanks for the quick reply.  I gave up on Sonar 2 months ago out of frustration.  Now that I've found this forum I will definitely have questions in the next few days.  Thanks again :)

No problem. This is a very helpful place.

Try to work through the tutorials that came with Sonar.  They are very helpful.  You might also checkout Cake TV and Sonar University.  They are on this site and have videos on how to do some things in Sonar.

Thanks Dave.  Will do :)

These videos are for x2.  However, Artist just built on the platform so you will find the functions are generally the same as well as the layout.  This is a fantastic professional free resource.
