Jim- it is almost unbelieavable, but I'm afraid the sad reality. Did you notice the way CW advertises X2 on here http://www.cakewalk.com/SONAR-X2/ ?

absolutely no reference to writing/composing. Music, as some of us grew up learning and practicing it, doesn't seem to be the same anymore. I don't know what to make out of this anymore...................
 

Well if it were being sold as writing/composing software I'd guess that it would include a rhyming dictionary...It's being marketed as MUSIC RECORDING and PRODUCTION software.

...so that you can make your music rhyme? That makes sense....

The color table you see is part of the dev kit used to make the clips. It's on the factory side not on the user side. We thought you might like a peak at how we make the cake.

I can understand why Cake might let the SV sit as is. Programming and development cost quite a bit of money so maybe they don't see it as being a solid business move. What I DON'T understand is people bashing other users because of their preferences in how they create music. It's very insulting especially when discussing one of the oldest and most standard ways of creating and expressing music.

Define production.
 
 
Music production... capturing a recording of a performance and translating that to a media that can be shared, such as a record, cd, or mp3. The whole idea of recording started as a way to listen to performances while not actually being there for the live performance. Editing and mastering is there to fine tune the recording in to a finished product. The end result is a cd or mp3 or wav file for video use. That's basic music production.
 
Now let's define writing music...That's a different topic, putting notes together played on an musical instrument to make a melody, with or without lyrics. This is usually done before the performance and/or recording of it. Most musicians have written their parts before the actual recording of it. Not always, but most of the time. Some musicians will turn on the tape recorder, let it roll, and just start jamming and go back later and pick out the parts they like the most. At this time though, the focus is on the melody, and coming up with a complete song or musical piece. 
 
Now let's define notation...This is another seperate topic, that's the art of writing down on paper, the notes of a musical piece so that it can be communicated to other musicians, so that they all have an idea of what to play. Sort of like a road map of the song for the other musicians.
 
 
Sonar is being marketed as recording and music production software. It can also be used in the writing of music as well. It can do a limited notation job as well and can export to a more professional notation software application. Sonar's strong point though is music recording and production to a finished product which can be re-sold to the music buying public.
 
CD artwork and graphics are a different topic as well, Sonar does none of that.

You shall be disappointed.
