I admit to being a bit bass deaf and I hear better if I record an octave higher than it should be.
Is there a quick way to drop an instrument an octave after recording? Lasso and drag the whole track down in PRV?

Sure, you can do that. You can also use the Process > Transpose function or even the Event Inspector...

Darn beat me by 5 seconds Scott ;).

Sorry, Alex... just quick on the draw today. I'm sure I'll be slower tomorrow since I won't be getting much sleep... too much work on the SONAR X2 Power book.

If it happened to be a MIDI track, you could also transpose down in the (edited) Track Inspector.

Cool, thanks guys. I knew Sonar would likely have covered it somehow.

When I transpose I use the Key Widget in the Track Inspector. 

The Track Inspector in X1/X2 for MIDI is where you go for changing parameters for a track. Everything is there.  

I've got Transpose mapped to ctrl + t, mainly because I use this function quite a lot during the composition phase of a project

i agree that using the destructive transpose is the better option because if i want to export as midi the transpodiyion options in the track controls do not get applied upon export
