While many of us still plans use Sonar as long as possible it is no doubt those of us (like me) without secondary DAW chosen earlier need to start learn and pick something as secondary asap...
 
Could you please make a favor for us and create some video how to do the same things in your non-Sonar DAW you are expert as well? It would speed up significantly process of learning other DAWs to pick one of them. And later on to master chosen one.

Relax, no need to rush off. It is not like we lost our use of the DAW. For some of us there may be a contract violation but we still have a fully featured up to date DAW that will do for several years before becoming obsolete.
I'd suggest Reaper as one to learn in tandem to using Sonar. Kenny Goia does some great tutorials.
It is a powerful fully customizable DAW and like any DAW the shortcuts need to be memorized.
Sonar is a much more complete DAW for now.
 

SONAR can all we need for our work.
We have now bought 1 licence of Cubase 9.5. We will check this DAW and learn how we can do our workflow with Cubase.
But only when we see, that Cubase is better and faster for our work then SONAR, we will change. Therefore we have time the next 2 years.

No panic here...
 
We are just in the middle time where are good offers for secondary DAW.
 
I don't plan to finish work in Sonar soon however I would like to fix my bad and assuming I will use ever only 1 DAW... And slowly plan to learn something new but it would be a pity to miss opportunities for lower prices... Wait till BF 2018?  I learn my lesson after shock Gibson did to us... I need to start have always alternative...

If you are interested in Studio One, here's good place to start reviewing videos:

Thnx, Rimshot, I will take a look.

This will take some time but at cakewalkcommunity.com forums we have started to collect information for SONAR users how to do things in other DAWS.  Information is collected to FAQs.  A/B video would be cool...

Great link man!

For learning materials I'd recommend Berklee on Coursera
 
The course on music production is not DAW-specific. When I took it (a couple of years ago) the professor was trying to build within the course a wiki comparing how to do typical tasks on different DAWs.
 
coursera.org/learn/technology-of-music-production
 
This was the course that got me started on Presonus Studio One. At the end of the course they offered a great deal to students (I bought an Audiobox interface that included S1 Artist and they gave a free upgrade to S1 Pro).
 
For getting started on more "industry standard" DAWs they have
 
coursera.org/learn/protools
coursera.org/learn/ableton-live
 
Note: I think it is still possible to audit the courses at no cost but it may require some clicking around

just bought a licence for Harrison Mixbus 32C.I was in fact looking at it for a few months. The Gibson announcement kind of pushed me. This week the sale was at 70% off. I guess they are looking for Cakewalk customers.
It looks pretty good.
There is a learning curve but they have great videos and online tutorial.
It will work side by side with my SONAR platinum.
