Pause

To me, pause means stop where you are, make no markers etc, then pause again will restart a that spot. Play means start play at the last start position. But AFAICS, Pause means stop here, place a new start position here, then if I pause again start playing...._but now play will start at the last _Pause_ position, not the last playfrom position (well it is, but only because Pause is aggressive, according to me). I have really come up against this because Space Bar is actually Play, not pause, so I tried to change that. I think there is an option somewhere, but the above scenario made it confusing to me. Then I discovered Ctrl-Spacebar and suddenly it was obvious that Pause was not doing what I expected. Is there a way to Pause, that does nothing but Pause, the play from there if I hit Pause again? That is what I would expect of most transports. Any help appreciated.

There is a pause button on the transport. I am not sure what Oldnick is asking. If I get it pause is not allowing one to go back to say the beginning but rather only to the pause point.

Because I use the Mackie Control 99 % of the time I use its pause and there is a return to zero button on it. So I never see this problem. W is the keybinging to return to zero. 

what ?

"ctrl + spacebar "....Yeah I got that and I think I said it. But I expect Pause o pause, then start..not set a new Stop position. THAT is my main gripe.

  Right, I get it but what would you like it to do?

"what ? " well if you can't work it out then I guess you can't help me and maybe I expect more of this software than you do. I have learned to over ...30...years.

no,the what was more of a ...what are you going on about?
what are you trying to ask for?
 
im finding it a little difficult to understand what is you want.
 
for instance the other day you started a thread claiming all these things in sonar were not working properly,
so yes, i got through pluging in my soundcard and setting up sonar to troubleshoot these things, yet don't find half the things your talking about.
when I get back to thread it appears you haven't run any of the updates for x1 ?
 
yet in my first post I asked you what version of sonar you were running?
no specs, no operating system listed, like im just supposed to guess?
 
but no need to worry, its not your fault.
its mine, for responding.
 
I too got 30 years in, ,i was splicing reels at a studio in Boston called TCB studios.
but sorry not in digital audio, 30 years ago it was only a thought, so where your going with that one?
 
I come here to help people not solve riddles.
I will politely bow out of this thread now and any of your future posts as well.
 
Good luck in your endeavors 

 

Either you want help or you are making a statement about your view of Sonar. If its the later please make it clear and then no one will try to offer solutions.  

Where was  “make the latter clear” during the X1 unveiling. 
As has been pointed out above I believe CTRL+W will give him what he wants.
