Q:
What are some guidelines for working with Cakewalk or Sonar Session Drummer? My pattern does not seem to be looping correctly.
 
A:
Since the Session Drummer plays the pattern over and over, it is extremely
important that the pattern loops correctly. You can check this before you
save your Style pattern by selecting the clip in the track view and looping
it using the loop toolbar.

Guidelines

· Patterns should be voiced for General MIDI and be contained on a single track

· Patterns can be of any length

· Patterns must include a marker, located at the beginning of the pattern.

· Make sure that the pattern is aligned to a measure. Setting the
snap to button to 1 measure is helpful to ensure this.

· Make sure that the beginning and ending of the pattern does not cross measure boundaries. Remember that the Session Drummer will loop and you want it to loop on measure boundaries.

· Make sure that the volume of the pattern is constant, with no volume increase or decreases.
