This is my solution: Create a 1/4 note click-track, record my strat through MidiGuitar2 and through Amplitube 4: I think I can work that way. Also, I should spend a day creating templates for different tempos, 40, 60, 80 100, 120, 150, to include: track setups for AD2 all routed to separate tracks; Bass- 2 tracks; percussion - 2 tracks, and 5 additional free audio tracks.
This will save me even more time. I'm wondering if I should take an online course from Berklee online on basic SONAR or on SONAR sound processing. I get lost in it sometimes. Been doing this a long time, but it's way more complicated than it was 20 years ago, and I don't want to lose the basics - hardware settings, busses, meters, and basic stereo principles.
