Sometimes I will generate a RT and listen carefully on the measure or two prior to the instrumental lead. When I find one that fits I freeze and save that track. In Sonar I use a gain envelope to slowly bring the lead up to volume. You can also use CC11 for this operation. I use CC7 for the track's main volume control with either gain, CC11 or CC2 to control the various volumes within the track. YMMV.


I'm no longer allowed to go caroling at the psych hospital.
I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
