SONAR does not cook salmon the way I like it.
 
Can I get a refund or should I not use soundblaster?
 


Refund is really not an option, but SoundBlaster works great across the board........you should try it with ASIO4ALL.

In order to make, record or produce music in a DAW, you need just a bit more than basic computer skills.
DAWs are fairly complex softwares.



+1,000,000. I've told this story before, but a company asked me to do a document on how to transfer audio files from a program they made to an MP3 player. "Keep it simple, it's only three steps, won't take you more than an hour."
 
I handed in a document with IIRC 23 steps. They were very upset - "We told you to keep it simple!" I said fine, tell me which steps I can take out, and I'll do a re-write. Of course, none of the steps could be removed.
 
It was true that transferring the files took only three steps. The other 20 involved interactions with the computer's operating system
 
This is why I always recommend using computers designed specifically for music, a quality audio interface, and a basic graphics card. When I started doing that instead of using off-the-shelf computers from places like Office Depot, 90% of my problems went away.

When customers are complaining and Company lays off their customer support staff, disconnects their phone from the public, then starts asking for money in the future for services not rendered (lifetime support) or delivered (updates & upgrades) I'm just sayin' ....they are floating on thin ice...

Yes, Bob, we get it. But unless you have a current copy of Cakewalk's P&L statement, that just your opinion -- and you know what they say about those...

gonna open a beer for every time I still read someone complaining about the Cakewalk 'subscription' model, which shouldn't have had the 'subscription model' name.
 
old situation: customers pay to own and keep the latest version (Sonar X1, X2, X3 etc)
new situation: customers pay to own and keep the latest version (Sonar Platinum) PLUS GET FREE ADDITIONAL UPDATES FOR A LONG TIME.
 
Either people don't get it, don't want to get it or are just unreal.

Car dealership: Good day Sir, here's your new Chevrolet
Customer: Thank you !
 
Few years later:
 
Car dealership: Good day Sir, here's your new Chevrolet AND if you want to, just drop by now and then and we'll be installing new stuff and even better parts at no charge !
Customer: That's it, I'm off to Cadillac !'

heard a rumor a 'SUBSCRIPTION MODEL' episode of Family Guy is being made, and they then take over Cakewalk customer support.
