I'm wondering about this Selection Module. It seems like an odd thing to create an entire dealymadoodah for. Is there a specific workflow or feature I'm not seeing? Why would someone opt to use this instead of the many other ways to range select? Is it simply a relic of Sonars past?

Just curious is all.

Cheers.

Looping, Punch in, punch out maybe ?

Not so much a relic as just another way of doing things. I cannot give you a use case for it though.

Yep, just another way of doing things.

It can come in handy on very long projects when needing to select specific areas though. Much easier to enter a time than it is scroll across several minutes (hours - days weeks - months ?? ) of time in a project, especially if you already know exactly where the specific points are.

I always use it for my final exports. I figure out the exact M:B:T to start and stop, and enter it for export. (I also use it for selecting small excerpts.) I hate the mouse (click & drag), and would much rather type numbers. (I shouldn't have admitted this publicly: now Cake is guaranteed to take that option away in the next version, lol.)

Ah yes... I should have thought it through a little more. I can see how this would be useful or even necessary for some things.

Thanks guys. 

If I want to insert measures then copy and paste, say, a chorus from somewhere else into that gap then the selection module is very useful for being sure the precise co-ordinates of sections are selected.
