I really like the way Craig talked about our membership. In a few threads lately members have mentioned marketing not being so strong for Sonar. Here Craig has set the standard for how to market Sonar. Mich also did everything right in asking good questions and letting Craig run with them. I fully enjoyed the video.
 
Yes I am biased for I really like Sonar but its nice to see a thoughtful well stated case for the product.

Worth the time to listen. Also, nice to hear a dedicated Mac user who has not been following Sonar updates for some time admit to being blown away by how excellent Sonar functionality is now. I suspect that quietly spreading information like this across YouTube, blogs, forums, and magazines may gradually stimulate more potential users to seriously consider, evaluate, and adopt Sonar. That would be good for all of us.

Exactly. If I weren't already on board, and saw this video, I would be checking Sonar out right now.

 I have to check this "up-sampling" thing out. Sounds really promising. The ability to improve the sound of your samples? Could be a game changer.

In the video Craig has addictive drums play to the audio track after he does the tempo thing , how does he set addictive drums up to do that ?

You don't "do" anything extra for that. You just drag the "free tempo" audio you have to the timeline, Sonar makes a tempo map. Addictive Drums plays in time like normal. That is, either by clicking the "sync" button in the beats window or by dragging midi beats into your Sonar arrangement. Just like always.

Definitely not sarcasm. Not sure why you would think that. I guess I just misunderstood it. Sorry if my ability to grasp complex audio technology isn't up to your specifications. (And I am not being sarcastic here either. Just tired of being devalued by people who, because they know more, attribute ulterior motives where there are none).
