I was using Sonar 5 a while ago and found it otherwise hard to use, except for one killer feature: You could echo midi input in realtime to any or all midi ports so that, if you wanted, you could play/record any or all of your midi instruments, ie audition and record your various midi instruments at the same time, ie layer your instruments. I really like doing this and hope PT could add this feature. Doesn't seem like it should be too hard to accomplish. I forget what Sonar called it, but maybe track echo. In PT, you have to lay down one track, then copy it to another track/port/instrument. I have Sonar 5 still in a box since I reinstalled my OS, but again, I really don't like it at all. It's not intuitive at all, but that is the ONLY feature I bought it for when I learned it could do this. PLEASE consider adding this capability!
