It was pretty easy to install and create the script. CAL is pretty much over. I still use it for some simple stuff but a macro script tool like AutoHotkey looks like the future of my SONAR programming. Of course, CAL scripts can be launched using AutoHotkey (although I have yet to test it).

I agree it looks great - and there are user utilities including a GUI generator, & script recorder. Nice bonus might be the extension of macro capability to other applications outside of SONAR. Pretty cool. Thanks for discovering it Scook - great find.

You are welcome. I cannot take credit for the discovery though, like you I recall others recommending it, one in the last month or so. I had a copy laying around for a while but did not look at it until this morning. It was easy to knock out the gain script. I like that it will extend SONAR using the windows key, a key modifier not used in SONAR. I just installed the MacroCreator.

I'm going to give your hot key trick a try as the lack of these (wave editing) sort of tools disappoints me with Sonar. 
 
In my wave editor and it's sister DAW you open the Gain dialog which is a simple little box. Then you set the amount up or down, this gain adjustment remains until you close the dialog box. You zoom in and highlight and apply. So quick and easy to run trough a wave file and knock the peaks off. All with a few mouse drags and clicks. It will also tell you what the Max level of the highlighted clip is.
It seems like it would not be hard to program this in. 
This is my one and only feature request. 

Ive been using cal and it really helps. The cal stuff I'm doing is really simple midi editing but you can bind it to a keyboard shortcut and save a ton of time.

Long live CAL!

I remember using AutoHotkey but after moving from Win XP I just didn't reinstall it and like so many utilities just didn't keep up with it. Just checked and I have a version in my archives from Feb 2004 v 1.0.01.
Must download the latest and check it out.
