Just a note:  Ripple editing would be a great thing if it ripples everything (tempo, automation, meters etc.)  Otherwise I can pretty much do everything else already with what SONAR has. 

 
The DAW in the Kenny Gioia video does move all Tempo, Time signature, and automation events in sync with the Clips.

The video was very informative. Thanks!
My question is, are the little bits that cross the bar lines retained in the clip or are they cut?
Arrangement editing: for instance, in section A you have MIDI notes that cross over the bar line to
Section B. You delete Section B, and C & D slide over to fill up the hole made by B. 
 
Are those MIDI notes in A which drifted into B now truncated (split)?

 
Just to clarify, Ripple Editing is NOT the same thing as an Arranger Track.  Any slicing or cutting of Clips is managed by the user.  The DAW in the video has a separate function called Regions that implement the Arranger Track functionality. 
 
Since we don't have the specifics of the future Sonar implementation, we will have to wait and see how the Bakers implement Ripple Editing in Sonar.
 
Hope this helps,

Thanks for clarifying this. Maybe someday an arranger track will be implemented.

A picture is worth a thousand mumbles! Thanks Ron.

I am hoping for an Arranger Track, too, now more than ever, after seeing in this video how clean and clear and useful it can be. Thanks very much for posting it, Ron. It was very informative, straightforward and easy to follow. I also very much liked the clarity and simplicity of the colours. I'm really looking forward to Ripple Editing if it works as neatly as shown in the video :)

Ripple editing is common with video editing software. It opens up space and closes spaces automatically when you insert and delete material. It basically solves a lot of the issues people have when doing arrangements in SONAR with inserting, deleting, or moving large blocks of data.
 
Sony Vegas has an excellent ripple editing implementation. If SONAR's is even close, it will be very, very welcome.

Ripple editing would be SO SWEET also for editing multiple drum tracks.
 
Moving hits on the beats would be a piece of Cakewalk: Split the clips by an off hit, ctrl-drag the end of the clip until the hit falls onto the beat, and the rest of the audio keeps in perfect sync and order. Find the next off-beat hit and repeat.
 
SUPER!!!

One of the most useful things in Vegas are the temporary, vertical "snap to" lines when you butt splice clips.  In video, esp., it is nice to see what you are doing.

Agreed. Vegas seems to just know when and where to make things snap without you even thinking about it

I wonder when we'll see it....

when it's ready
