Found Cool Sonar Feature...should have read the Manual !

This is probably really basic and I should've read the manual months ago....

When mixing I quite often end up turning things up and then a bunch of tracks end up too hot and hitting the red all the time.  So I'd click each fader in the console view and use the mouse wheel to turn 'em all down some.

Then I realised you could make a group, so I'd add everything to a group , and turn 'em down as a group then ungroup them all...which was better...but still a bit of a PITA

I was wondering what the little icon in the Console view was that look a bit like this [-] just under the track name.

Well damn me if it ain't a quick group button..so I hold down the Ctrl button , click the first track - keep the mouse and the Ctrl button pressed and voila...I can glide across each tracks quickgroup button and select them as I pass over...saved me so much time    Now when somethings peakin' I can just do that and adjust them all really quickly.

I can't believe I never knew about it

Sonar is pretty cool DAW with a lot of new features in the new version and i like the mixer and the new design,but i dont own it
the only thing i dont like is it doesnt save metronome settings and lack of forward and reverse buttons  ..is it just me or someone else also finds it wierd? i've only used it once

If you set every track to go to the Master (or whatever) bus, you just turn that down.

That doesn't stop the individual tracks overshooting though
