[Ben Harmless]

Can't say I'm familiar with that version of Sonar, but all of my earliest recording experiments were with one of the full versions. It's a good program, but there are a few signal-routing limitations that I didn't dig. If you're interested in doing computer recording, it's absolutely worth playing around with. You can learn a lot, and depending on how you use it, it can be many, many steps above 4-track cassette recording, or you can get so caught up in the minutiae that you'd be better off with the 4-track.

Now, I use Reaper. I feel like it fits my style a little better. It's cheap too, and free to try, so if you get the bug, it's worth giving a shot.

I assume it came with your board because your board has a USB out or something. That's cool, and a good enough reason on its own to fool around with computer-based recording. If it's only got the 2-track out, you can just hard pan things left and right to stack up tracks.

Enjoy!
