I have had Sonar X1 for a week......
It has been ROCK SOLID and so much fun to work with. I'm only posting this because I noticed many posts from people having issues. I hope their issues are resolved quickly (cuz god knows i've been there!) BUT on my setup, I can't believe how smoothly it is running!
Huge projects with tons of plugins and soft synths while using v-vocal (i always bounce each one when I'm happy with it).
MY ONLY COMPLAINT: I use the Mackie Control Universal with the C4. I am DYING to be able to use the Pro-Channel with my C4. The C4 was MADE for this kind of application. If the Bakers fix it, I will be in ZEN.
BTW. Sonar X1 runs like silk on my desktop AND my laptop (did I just admit to having it installed on more than one machine?!?!?!)
I have been using product since Cakewalk 8.
I have been reading forums for years- dunno why I waited so long to contribute.
Why am I such a selfish bastard!
I will edit my profile to show my studios setup asap.
I run a small but prosperous recording studio near Philadelphia called BlixYZ (pronounced Blix Y Zee)
