Reasons why I like my Sonar

I'm thankful for ProChannel (compressors, EQ, saturation)!

And Happy Thanksgiving to all!

All of the above but in two words usability & stability.......

Hi ,all of Bristol list and wonderful sound 64 engine export.Best.Roby

Yes, mentioned in another post, I'm a big fan of playback and record, also [a must have]. I love the bitbridge, allowing native access to 32 and 64 bit plugs. X1 has some quality plug in effects and instruments, and it's numerous features can work well if you spend a lot of time learning it. And if you don't have a lot of time, you can always have an easier DAW or two along with it while you educate yourself. The forums here are always helpful and knowledgeable, and online videos, books and classes are available for those that want/need more resources. 

Be certain that all software requires some time and learning to master its capabilities, and the more features and complexity that is involved, the more time and commitment it will take from you. You will only get out of it what you put into it.

[2] MIDI facilities generally, but especially Instrument Definitions. 

+1 Midi facilities are much better and comprehensive than what's available in most newer apps. I own Ableton Live 8, but I just cannot stand doing any serious midi with it, it lacks so many basic features and timing is awful while Sonar is rock solid.

I have a sneaky feeling these answers aren't  what the OP was either expecting or hoping for.

But it's just my opinion

What? You suspect there's some trolling going on?

1.the stability , 2.this forum and its experienced users like Bitflipper,Fast biker boy ,John and more,which answered unknowingly all my (sometimes stupid) questions just by using the search function! 3.the intuitiv,easy workflow 4.the high quality of the VST´s ans VSTi´s.

Ditto! 

as they say in the music business, 'timing' is everything :)


In regards to midi workflow, Sonar still remains my #1 go-to DAW. 



@ the OP;

Nice topic :) 



 Slightly OT: 

I've been a busy bee, close to finishing up my album for release around valentines day 2012, the album is primarily a showcase of my songwriting skills, 'no loops were used' every note and articulation is done by me. It's no easy task doing it all myself. In recent months I had to re-rec several trks, remix and master almost every song! And now plans are already underway for my next album. 


That said;  I'm thankful that Sonar is there when I need her, she gets the job done, oh sure we had a little kinky quirky moments, but at the end of the day all I had to do was lay there and hit play! 



 Slightly more OT: 


 * Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone * 


Wishing you all good health and great success!

There are, of course, plenty of stupid answers.....

Stability, ProChannel and the forum for help and entertainment.

I guess I love my SONAR cuz I don't hate my SONAR.

I don't love my Sonar but I use it anyway.

If you can't be with the 1's you love
Love the 1's you with

You forgot: My name is Alegria. I am a Sonar addict.
