Hi Everybody,
When I worked with Cakewalk Express 8, There were an option which let me restrict loop selection to play just one time and it stopped, when reached to End point of loop selection. Could anybody guide me,how can I apply it in sonar X1?

In SONAR, you can either convert it to a Groove Clip and roll it out for one more iteration, or copy-paste it
(with or without linking to the original). Check the Ref. Guide for more info on Groove Clips.

I don't know Cakewalk Express so I am not familiar with this behavior. Do you want to choose a loop with the loop selection during playback and hear the loop you selected only one time? If that's what you want, I don't think this is possible. If you type Shift+Spacebar, any selection automatically becomes a loop, so although only the selection will play back, it will loop.
 
If this is not what you want, please tell me more about what you want to do.

Dear Andertone, Thanks for your reply,
Yes, you are right. Actually I am going to choose a selection, and when it playback, It start to play from Start point of selection and finish at end point of selection. I used to do it in cakewalk express 8 using loop selection, But I could not find the same setting in Sonar X1, and also could not find it in Ref. Guide. Please find the screen shot of the same thing that I was doing in sonar express 8.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that. If I find a solution, I'll post it here.

I have found the fallowing post in the below link return to year 2006.It may make some Idea, 
http://forum.cakewalk.com/simplest-way-to-mark-and-loop-m730555.aspx

Also, is there any way to get Sonar to loop 'just once' i.e every time you press play it will play the loop from beginning to end but then STOP!

Do either of these:

1. Right-click on the Time Ruler and select Auto Shuttle; or

2. Select menu Transport > Loop and Auto Shuttle

Then in the ensuing dialog box, uncheck "Loop Continuously"

I have the same problem in sonar X! But the "Loop and Auto Shuttle" is not available in X1, It's so strange that, the option has been removed in Sonar X1.
Any Idea?

Isn't looping designed to keep looping? Would punch record be better? 

EDIT: Oh I see. 8.53 had an option. Don't know where (if) it is in X1. 

 
Hi, Does Anybody knows the similar option in Sonar X1?

If you load the clip in Matrix and set the loop function to one time, it will work.  You can then trigger the loop using your controller or keyboard.

Would you please explain how can I load the Midi multi tracks on Matrix view? 
There is no option in Sonar X1 to set the loop function to on time! If You know, could you please advise me?

Good News!
However, I could not find "Loop/Auto Shuttle" function in Sonar X1 but I found another way to play one time the selection.It is so easy.
1. select part of track which going to play
2. Press "shift"+"space" key
It starts to play and at the end point automatically stops.
