From: Frank on 16 Oct 2006 22:04 Hey GB, Actually, I am going to cheat a bit. I want to sequence the bass and drum parts to a Robertb Cray song. Be simple if I could (record) play along in time in sonar Dumb I guess.And Lazy!

Process/Extract Timing will help you create a midi track of events that match key points in the audio. From this you should be able to construct a reasonably accurate set of measures. It does take some work but can be done. Keep in mind that you have to manage the latency properly. Other choice is, using low-latency playback, to just play your new tracks along with the old one. You know, like multitrack recording with real musicians :-) -- Gary R. Hook ________________________________________________________________________ Vocatus atque non vocatus deus aderit

AudioSnap might help. This is what it is designed for. -- Best, Andy www.soundclick.com/andyw
