The priority to which I refer would prevent the interruption to playback and the bigtime window if u touch ANYTHING while the audio is playing.
I get a "buzzzz" if I touch the screen w/ the mouse during playback...doesn't happen with Sonar.
Its not a big deal...I just stop playback before I do anything...and in gigs I'll be using a footswitch that rarely interupts playback (but sometimes it does )

Thx for the tip on setting "now" before I drag. :-)
