o.k. that helps some  its software for workstations. now guitar trackspro-3 is it sonar or pro tools or ?what  I am using an hp-42 laptop 3.00gm ,guitar trackspro-3,amplitube-le,ableton-le,intone guitar express,an m-audio fast track usb.do I need to download drivers someware to get all of this to work togather. or a rewire of some kind? 

SONAR & ProTools are two totally different DAW's.  All those applications you list, Amplitube, Ableton, etc.. are each their own program and they all do different things.  The M-audio Fast track is your audio interface and is used to get your instrument into the program.  Not familiar with Intone Gtr Express, but I see that its an FX processor.  So you likely can use that as a plugin within Guitar Tracks. 

As far as drivers go, you need to check each program as they all have their own set of requirements.  There are audio drivers that the Fast Track will use, which is probably ASIO drivers (double check that tho, i'm just guessing).  Rewire is something totally different and is protocol -or a way to get files from from one application to another.  This page is super for checking on Rewire:

That is an awful lot of programs to try to master at one time Lenny.  In all honesty just one can take weeks or months to get a decent handle on how it works.  I would strongly suggest starting with Guitar Tracks if that's going to be your main DAW.  Once you get a feel for how it works, start slowly with the other applications. 

There is much, much information available on all of these things you mention, all you have to do is look for it.  Google is an amazing tool when utilized!  Try it. 

Hi I am a newbie. I installed sonar X1 producer. I have been mainly focusing on session drummer 3. I have a problem with the bass distorting. Been turning down all volumes for the past few weeks trying to find what is causing it. Is this the reason everyone gets a sound card?

But yes, an audio interface designed for recording is desirable for greatest recording satisfaction.
And please provide info about your computer, OS, current sound card, and what your audio settings are. It will help us help you.

Hi All, When I installed Producer Ex, I didn't install Session Drummer 3, but now I'd like to. However, I can't find the installer. Can someone please tell me where it would normally be? I have the download version; the only boxed set I have is 8.5.

New to X1, had sonar studio 7 and no problems.  Now have new interface, Scarlett (Focusrite) USB.  It is like sonar is not picking the signal up at all .  Windows 7 laptop, Dell, very new Latitude. I am sure it is drivers and driver settings.  Any help would be nice. 

I got it to work a bit with one track on Wdm driver triangular, almost max buffer latency. but not arming two tracks.  The audio engine drops out.

I have been reading help files and manuals all day.
I am trying to set up the hardware VS-100 with the software Sonar VS.
I want the ACT controllers mapped so that I can use them.  At the moment I can at times get a sound from the play and stop hardware buttons but I wish them to behave as play and stop buttons.
 
Please assist.
 
I have never Midi mapped a set of controllers before and do not know the names of which one should be what and so forth.
 
I have the ACT button lit.
I have Sonar selected as the DAW.
I have DAW Full Assign on.
I updated the firmware to V1.5
 
I run Win7.
 
I have a 49key midi keyboard going into the VS-100 midi in.  It is a Roland PC-200 MkII  that doesnt seem to get any response in the software.
 
Ummn I don't know what to do.

Any replies ?
