maybe i'm getting a grip on this.

i like using Sonar for Midi and ACID for loops (i know Sonar supports loops, but ACID is so much cooler.).

I like writing in standard notation, so Sonar rules there.

Am i to understand, that i can slave Sonar sessions to an ACID project?

that would be nice.

best of bof' woilds!

Since SONAR is a ReWire host, not a ReWire device, it cannot be used within ACID (or vice versa).

ACID 4.0 is also a ReWire host, so it can't be used as a ReWire device in another app.

Cakewalk's Project5 is a ReWire device. So is Propellerhead's Reason (who started all this, naturally). Ableton's Live is another.
