Faster I/O Assignment
SONAR 7 has added new shortcuts for audio I/O assignment, these provide a quick way to set a series of consecutive inputs/outputs, set selected tracks to same input/output, and assigning multiple bus outputs to same main.

Drag and drop EQ parameters
You can now copy EQ settings across tracks via a simple drag and drop of EQ plots in the console view.

Dim Solo mode
Isolates soloed tracks by applying a configurable -6, -12, or -18 dB dim to non-soloed tracks instead of a complete mute.

High bandwidth recording and large project optimizations
You can now record longer projects with support for 2+ GB Sony Wave-64 files, SONAR has also been optimized for high-bandwidth multitrack recording. A recent recording project utilized a pre-release version of SONAR 7 to record 48 tracks simultaneously at 24-bit, 192 kHz audio quality.
