 I wouldn't want a driver setup to cheat you out of trying Samplitude.  

As I said, it doesn't work like that (as it should) on the first attempt. I know the preferences in both programs, and how to select drivers. But - When I installed Samp at first, the Magix low latency Asio driver seemed to block my Qaudcap- Interface Asio driver, it wasn't available, couldn't choose it in Sonar. I had to reinstall my Quadcap-Interface to have them available. It finally works and I tried Samp. 
 
The chapter is closed now.

okay so you tried it. Did you like it

Not really. It's feature loaded, it's quick, ok. But it takes time to do simple things. Ok, when you are familiar with the prog, it might become natural and you will develop your workflow, but it's timeconsuming to get into it. For the Moment, since Sonar is still working, I don't really need another battleship like that. And it felt like yesterday. Not only the experience with the installation (you know, I survived Dos 5.0, Win 3.0, 3.1 + 3.11, OS/2, Win 95,98, Millenium, XP, tested Uhuru as well, ..... I'm kind of allergic to problems like that, today that's inacceptable for me), the design, Overloaded Menus, for me it's nothing to fall in love with. Maybe, someday, I will have another look, but for now i'll skip the offer. I bought S1, that's fun to me, and something to learn, too. And I will still use Sonar for sure.
Time, to make music again :)

I'm torn myself. I'll still use what I have, but I want to take advantage of one of these offers. I would like to have notation and so I'm looking at DP9.5 and Samplitude. The one thing holding me off on DP9.5 is the small font size.
Decisions, decisions
Have fun with Presonus Studio One

 
Digital Perform has no VST3 as far as I know . . . And  Overture has an special offer for cakewalk (?) .... Presonus has Notion for Notation, they say, it would integrate into Studio one in a way - don't know, didn't test ist. But they have a demo on their site. Last year I saw an ad for Microsoft Surface products and their digital pencil. Seems, there exists a Notationsoftware, that supports touchscreen and pencil on surface . . . much better to edit notation with a pencil than with mouseclicks . . . . On Apple hardware does Studio One support touchscreens, as far as I know.
If I will stay with studio One on the long run, and notion integrates in an useful way, and both support touchscreens - well, that would be an argument to go with apple :) :) :) But for now I will actually check a remote control (tablet) for Studio one . . . exiting :) :)
 
Good luck

The generic "Magix Low Latency Driver" is listen in "Programs And Features"... and can be uninstalled quickly/easily from there.
 
It's not absolutely necessary to uninstall it...
But (at least in my situation), I have numerous DAW applications... and I don't want to deal with extraneous "junk" ASIO drivers populating my list of proper (needed) ASIO drivers (Audio Interface, Helix, etc) in each one of those.
If you have an decent audio interface, you'll never use the Magix ASIO driver.

No, not on my system. But - as said before -  reinstalling my Audio interface after installation of Samp  finally enabled the designated procedure in Sonar / Preferences (simple change through uncheck / check).
