OUTPUTS AND POWER DOWN HELP REQUIRED

Hi Tony,
 
Age is not a factor, so don't worry about that.
 
You can route to all outputs simultaneously in Sonar VS.  Go to the Console view where you will see three sections.  The left has the project tracks, the middle has buses, and the right should show the three stereo outputs of the VS-100.  By default, your project probably has one bus called Master.  Normally all tracks that you want to hear should flow into the Master bus and this bus should have its output sent to the main outs (Ch 1/2) of the VS-100 on the right section.
 
One way to send the master to all three outputs is to create two new sends on the Master bus.  Click on the Send + icon to create a new send.  On the first new send, set it to ouput to Ch 3/4 and on the second, set it to Ch 5/6.  Make sure that both new sends are set for Post Fader so that the Master bus fader will control all outputs.
 
In Wav recorder mode, you can only playback to ch 1/2.  If you look at the block diagram, you'll see that wav playback is connected only to channels 1/2.
 
I don't think that there's a way to shift between the Wav and Daw modes without disconnecting the USB cable.  The VS-100 switches into Daw mode automatically when it senses that the USB is connected to a computer.
