One of the things that annoyed me so much about Sonar was this whole concept of arming before actually doing something. I don't remember Sequencer Plus or Texture ever having those issues--you press the button and you're off. Why have to press it twice? Doesn't the software believe me when I say I'm ready to start? Da heck with that. LOL. Punch and go. Just my $.02 worth. I guess it's a matter of preference. Maybe an option to have a confirmation keypress might be in order, James?
