Sonar AND Pro Tools
Hi Guys like the other guy I have to move to the industrial standart Pro tools cause i`m doing some work in other studios at the moment and they all work with Pro tools.So I`m gonna have two DAWs.
There is no way I`m staying without my Sonar,how could I open like 15 years of projects that i have?
I`m learning it fast but there are alot of things I have in sonar i wish they where in Pro tools but i`m fed up loosing work just because i dont have Pro tools.
Thanks for all the support this is the best forum on the net.
Peace

I hear you. I teach at a local college and must use Pro Tools in the College studio, classroom and at my own local studio to stay informed. But when I need to get actual work done, I am in SONAR X3.
SONAR is top drawer, so is Pro Tools, but I know SONAR having acclimated myself to it by starting with Cakewalk Apprentice version 1. And if I had to choose, I way prefer the approach in SONAR.

One thing I have done on occasion, it is a bit awkward, but at times it is faster at least for me. I will do all my work in SONAR and then when completed I will export tracks and then import them into a ProTools session. And if necessary I will include two versions of every track. One version RAW the other with FX applied.

Yes NYSR I have that planned in the pipeline.
I work much faster in Sonar,there are other things i cant do without like ,track freeze,quick bounce and even the waveform on the master bus that gives me an early visual idea of what i`m doing.
They say its all coming in pro tools 12 but for me sonar is ahead.Sonar implemented these useful things years ago.

I use both.
But I only use Pro Tools to handle AAF and OMF files.
All my creative work is done in Sonar

This is going to be your best time-saving option... I do not believe there is a suitable translator/transitional file format that doesn't cause more grief than happiness if you are on a schedule. Mel

If it's my choice, I always work in Sonar. But I have worked in ProTools, Ableton, and even Sony Vegas (for a mix job, which was painful) when it's been required. I'll have a crack at anything.
I think DAWs are like mixing desks in this regard. It used to be very hard to work professionally if you could only use one desk. Now it's hard to work professionally if you only use one DAW. ProTools will come up a lot, but other things also come up.
Bottom line: be an audio engineer, not a guy who knows program X. If you understand engineering and audio fundamentals, and you're got decent computer literacy, you can work out any DAW fairly quickly.
