Ess-Uno Pro...

I don't believe anything claiming 0ms (unless it's on bypass!).

Just sayin'...

Studi0 0ne pro... It is interesting at that price but there are other things I want more.

From somewhere else on the internet...
 
"...with the memory caching, super low latency, _____ and all the others better be watching these guys really close. If you get the demo of it, just be ready to pay the money for it. Once you start using it and hear how good it sounds, and how fluid everything is, you won't want to go back to ______ or _____.  It is that good. I see the benefit to VST3 now. I'm using _____'s  Free plugin's which are VST3 ... it's like you are moving a knob on a analog piece of gear, it's that smooth and transparent. No glitches, no pauses, no hiccups. And all this on a DAW that _____ brought to it's knees.
It even overrides the buffer settings on my sound card and let's me go lower than it's capable of ... and it works!" 
(slightly edited not for content). responsibility for the quote is mine.
 
I, personally have not tried it but if I had the money, I'd check it out... I have too much $ invested in Cakewalk to "walk"... but what is wrong with using a couple of different DAWs, I imagine a LOT of users do. I just think that this is really interesting.

That being said, at least from my 10 years using it, Sonar was always kind of an exception in terms of responsiveness and real time reaction vs glitches and hiccups. The only thing worst I've worked w/ in recent years was Pro Tools native.

Logic, Cubase, Studio One and most of the others by all accounts, are all pretty snappy. They have different flaws or shortcomings, that's all.

Nothing beats being fluent w/ your software, if you've picked the right one for you to begin w/. No amount of features will top that. Though we certainly appreciate them when they are integrated into our DAW software.

I've mentioned it in the main forum before - my brother-in-law runs a pro studio on a + 10 years old Mac G4 running Pro Tools 5.x. In spite of the absence of offline bounce and all the newer features found in most DAW software these days, his productions rival anything out there and he works blazing fast because he knows his DAW like the back of his hand.

Rain: Under heavier load, Logic was still more responsive 

I read such an issue on their forums, on large projects the UI and general work gets sluggish - painfully slow. Now I don't know if this is an issue with all users/setups. 

And recently read about some 'bugs' in the latest release (update). Also read about a project getting corrupted, so far still not resolved. 

Generally S12 is pretty darn good considering... No matter what DAW one uses there will always be some bugs to contend and some workarounds. No DAW is perfect.

The latest revision of Logic also has its issues where, when using multiple plug-ins like Frequency Analyzer set for high resolution and refresh rate, the screen redraw can get painfully slow.  

Doesn't affect me as I rarely use analyzers, and then rarely more than one analyzer at once, two exceptionally. The issue also seems not to hit as hard on older versions of the OS, and I'm still running an older OS.

But yes, I've definitely noticed that the exact same project loaded in both S1 and Logic will start to lag first in S1. 

Other than the aforementioned issue w/ frequency analyzer, and w/ the exception of a couple of faulty plug-ins, Logic is the single most efficient/stable DAW I've worked w/. By far. I never even imagined I'd be able to run such projects on a MacBook, consistently, day after day, w/ no optimization and stuff running in the background.

That being said, when I worked w/ Sonar, I knew it so well that my workflow adapted to it and I could work very fast too.

I like Logic, I know friends back in Australia who wouldn't use anything else and ya' know, I think it's darn good value compared to for example; Protools. HD (another popular choice Downunder, particularly for commercial studios post audio production work.)  I know that Stavrou in Australia and another friend in Canada uses Nuendo, a very nice workhorse for post production. However, if Logic was still for Windows users it might have been my first choice because I love working with midi and Logic costs way less compared to the others I mentioned but unfortunately it's not available for Windows.  

Who's Bub again?
