Mike and Scott !!!! Thank you!!!!! You saved my life, yesterday i was trying to explain to my studio chief why we should change the DAW again and he sent me to eat cucumbers... He and I were really angry, each one by their own reasons...
Wetdentist. That's a good question, I spend a lot of time thinking about that... I came to one conclusion: By the time I changed (from SX2) Live was just a "project", Sonar was the only competitor that offered me to keep my audio hardware, I mean not to change to digidesign hardware or change to Mac. I get used to work in sonar and I and my lazyness keep me using it... There is also funcionality i use a lot in sonar that even now can't be found in Live. And for economical reasons (in Spain the crysis is really a crysis) cubase 4 and 5 weren't an option last year.
Don't missunderstand me, I like sonar, It's very very functional, it allows you to do almost everything you want. The problem is the workflow, as Tom and amazed realized, you need to pass thru 7 menus and 5 checkboxes to configure/do/change every single thing. It lacks on intuitivity and "interfacefriendlivity"...
