Uber either is short for super or means potato - can't recall which :)
 
Edited - just found out it does NOT mean potato - (it's NOT a tuber! - in my best Arnold typing style)

Thanks a lot, Todd and Paul! And yeah, Cody - we're basically taking theatrical show control techniques and using Sonar to drive it all. The main difference is the automation is dynamic, so instead of calling scenes on the audio console, we're directly controlling fader moves, send levels, etc. There are about 140 defined controller destinations just for audio world.
 
So....another Conrad, eh? Not many of us around (at least in the US)! Things haven't changed much - I got the same exact thing growing up in the 70s. I guess kids don't have much imagination when it comes to picking on the one with the oddball name
 
I should mention for the sake of clarification that we did set up the show in the way Bob described, except step #6 hasn't really seemed to work. Maybe I should file a problem report with Cakewalk....

Been using Sonar Live for years. Never a problem....well, only problem was when they took out the playlist. The playlist was included in the next update! I use it for click, changing scenes on our monitor board and sending cues to the light board, curtains and etc.
The playlist makes Sonar one of the best daws for live situations

 +1 for using the playlist function live. There is also a great little dmx controller that can be run inside sonar as vst or alongside sonar trigered via loopbe internal midi - it is called DMXIS and is distributed by entech.

uber is over or above in german...

I had always assumed this was über as well, but never knew how/why it caught on. In German, a "u" with an umlaut is actually pronounced like a long e sound, so it got butchered along the way too.

Very interesting stuff.  I'm in Milwaukee(ish) and I'm going to have to stumble over to Madison for a show, It falls in line with too many of my professional and musical interests.  Great stuff, I'm enjoying the youtube'd bits from the show.

Err no a ü sounds just like the English u in for instance abuse (minus the y like start, in English you kinda pronounce abyusive). The normal u is like the English oo as in Scook.
