Tutorial 6 - Editing your music

While working on your music, you are likely to find that editing is a major part of the song creation process. Before people started making music on computers, all of the editing was done by cutting tape with a razor blade and piecing it together. You can imagine how difficult it could become. In SONAR, you can actually select a part of your music with the mouse and delete/copy/paste/move it all very easily. This tutorial will introduce some of SONAR's tools for making some common edits and offer a few tips to make it faster and more fun.
