I know firsthand that Dr. John and Blue Oyster Cult have cut demos using Sonar. As far as their commercial releases, I don't know. Further, I had nothing more to do with either one of those sessions other than knowing the two guys who own the studio.

Define "success." I'm pretty damned proud of my latest album, all done in Sonar Producer (v8.5): http://www.MattSwiftMusic.com

I've given Sonar work to be used by some pretty famous artists. Sadly I'm not at liberty to say and I don't want to take credit for it. Studios generally use logic or pro tools (you are pretty much forced into this) but I notice a lot of musicians start from Sonar and hand it over to the producer to import into their DAW. Sonar is a bit like ableton in this respect. The pro music industry is dying/has died to be taken over by the Simon Cowells and they are all pretty much stuck in their ways. Personally I don't care who uses Sonar it's a just one good tool that I use. I think the perception of Sonar is it leans more towards home recording nowadays and not in pro studio environments. Still it gets used.

;-) There really is some insanely good (and humbling) material there. Bonus: Often times you get to learn a bit about what the creators did to get their results AND get top notch insights from other wicked smart folks on how those great productions could be even better... all using the tools we Sonarites have on hand.

Why oh why did I never notice that sub forum! I've been locked into the "sonar" only forum and never ventured to go outside. I feel so stupid now. BTW - Music posted in this thread is such good quality. It's like night and day for the stuff I find posted on other forums.

My next album "Neo-" was done entirely in SONAR, start to finish...mostly using SONAR plugs and instruments, too. Virtually all the guitar parts use the CA-X amps, and a lot of the basses also use the CA-X bass amps. Rapture's all over it too, especially "Little Pieces" on Side 2. Also the Gibson EB5 Bass Expansion Pack does all the bass parts except the ones credited to Juliette Duval. I haven't made the link public, it's currently unlisted...but here's a sneak preview for my fellow SONAR users. I also used SONAR to mix/edit the classical albums I recorded with the IHM vocal quartet (classical stuff, it got an award), Kathleen McIntosh (her Antonio Soler and Bach albums) and Argentinian Nestor Ausqui's classical guitar albums, as well as sound for hundreds of audio-for-video audio projects (music and narration). Oh, and I also developed all my sample and loop libraries on SONAR, and remixed a Boy George tune that unfortunately remains unreleased and I'm not sure of the status...in any event SONAR gets a lot of exercise around here

I agree about the Songs sub-forum - there's some seriously great talent down there! I've got a pretty fair track record of albums done in SONAR (either at my own studio or others that run SONAR), and I use SPlat to do all of the mixing and mastering here at my studio. One of these days I'll get together a document with everything in it, but at last guess it was in the dozens of international releases that were done either in part of in full in SONAR. Not sure if you'd say it's "successfully" because I'm still not a millionaire (HAHA!) but I seem to do OK, and I know some of the artists I've worked with have gone on to have some pretty good success in their own niche markets. And then you have guys like Mr Anderton who make my achievements seem pretty small fry! D'OH! HAHA! But that's what I mean about relative success. It's hard to quantify! If anyone's interested in a few things I've done in SONAR, a good place to start is with my band LORD I'd say: www.lord.net.au or www.youtube.com/lordofficial But yeah, if we can define success as making awesome music with these great tools, there's a LOT of really successful people in these forums!

I guess a lot of unsuccessful artists use SONAR.  One successful artist who used SONAR was Gibby Haynes of the Butthole Surfers. Don't know if he still does, but he did. As others have pointed out, it doesn't really matter. You can produce pro results from SONAR. A lot of people use SONAR (and other non-PT DAWs) to create and then drag their tracks to a studio, or record drums and such in a studio and do the mixing at home. PT may be the lingua franca of the music industry, but that doesn't stop us from good communicating in the vernacular.

To me "success" embodies more the passion and proficiency of one's chosen craft rather than the tools used. This tends to be a marketing gimmick often, and I typically use "expensive guitar" as an example... An expensive guitar doesn't make one a good player, the time and dedication of the player makes them a good player... At that point you can swap the tool, they adapt to it and are still good.
Just owning an expensive guitar makes it nothing more than a wall ornament in the wrong hands. Can apply that perspective pretty much anywhere.

We don't make music, but we digitaze tapes and vinyl for publishers and archives.
We restore this records in Sonar. Now we have over 10.000 customers.
For example, reprints and mastering of old vinyl and tape records to CDs
And for over ten years we make our daily money with sonar as a full time job.
So you can do professional work with sonar and can satisfy customers.
I think this is very succesfull.
We digitize tapes, vinyl, dat, md ... in broadcast and studio quality for publishers, public institutions and individuals.4 x Intel Quad-CPU, 4GHz Sonar Platinum (Windows 10 - 64Bit) and 14 computers for recording tapes, vinyl ...
4 x RME Fireface 800, 2 x Roland Octa Capture and 4 x Roland Quad Capture, Focusrite .... Studer A80, RP99, EMT948 ...
