just bought sonar. seems like a great daw, but my head is hurting trying to figure out how to get omnisphere to use all 8 outputs.  help would be much appreciated. 

When you add an instrument to a track you get a pop up asking you how to configure the instument. You have the option in that box to select 1st synth output or all outputs. First synth will give you a single out when it creates the track. If you pick all outputs it will create a track for each output available. It's dead easy.

When you have it set up how you want you can make it a 'track template'. This will open it up every time just how you like it.

got it thanx. it was actually far easier to do this then other daws. i guess i was over thinking it.

Templates...templates....templates....
 
they're your best friend... track templates are wonderful...
