Best Sonar PE with V-Studio 700
First, if this thread appears to be ignorant, it is because I've been "out of pocket" for over a year and a half (out of country and away from my V-Studio). Secondly, I really didn't become that proficient at Sonar and V-Studio prior to departing which further fuels my ignorance.
Because I've been away, I've kind of lost touch with the updates and etc with the Sonar 8. I currently have Sonar 8 with my V-Studio 700 with NO updates. I understand Sonar has upgraded to 8.5 which should be compatible with the V-Studio 700. Now, the latest version of X1 PE has been out. I want to upgrade but I am concerned whether or not the X-1 PE will be compatible with the V-Studio 700. I have not found anything which makes upgrading to X-1 very enticing -- if I want to use the V-Studio 700. So, my question is, is it better just to upgrade to 8.5 or is X-1 a better option?
Was still a very green Sonar 8 Producer Edition user when graduating to a very green Sonar X1 Expanded user. Now, upgraded to Sonar X3c from X2 (but never had the time to get proficient with it.)
Cakewalk V-Studio 700 and with VS-700R.
