There used to be a little utility that I found on the now defunct site, CakewalkNet.com, that would let users insert .exe's of certain ancillary apps like Audition at the bottom of the Tools menu so that you wouldn't have to shutdown Sonar, bring up the other app, shut that 1 back down, and bring up Sonar again. Also, whatever changes you made in Audition were transferred to the wav file(s) in Sonar. My old PC was stolen that had tons of little rabbit trix like that, and I would love to get that back. HEP ME! KC
