At least I don't know how to do it, which doesn't mean it can't be done.

Same with SONAR if I understood this.

SONAR has unlimited number of tracks. However, AUX sends are limited to 16
and virtual main outputs are limited to 64.
(Also unlimited undo/redo)

Same with SONAR.

Dunno what MTC is...
Btw. You mean Cakewalk ProAudio when talking about Cakewalk not Cakewalk
SONAR?-)

That's true. I haven't been able to crash SONAR anyway...
How about Ardour's notation capabilities? What kind of sample/groove loop
editing does Ardour have (something similar to SONAR or Propellerhead
ReCycle)?
Now I still need some good software synths, like those that come with SONAR;
Roland's Virtual SoundCanvas, Audio Simulation's DreamStation and Applied
Acoustics Systems' Tassman. And other external stuff like Propellerheads'
ReBirth and Native Instruments' Reaktor.
Nngh, /me wants Access Virus :)
