Joe,
Why oh why do you even bother with that quirky outdated piece of software.You have the perfect thing for what you do in Real Band.I have a friend that continues to fight with Sonar as opposed to digging into RB.Sonar is an excellent program, the new versions like 8.5 anyway, but they are very difficult and complex for the average user.I'm probably as experienced as anyone here and I've totally abandoned Sonar even though I'm completely comfortable using it. RB is just easier to use and does everything the average person wants.
