Bye then

I was experiencing a general lack stability with Platinum - so much so that I was considering getting a new PC thinking it was my hardware instead of SONAR. Also after logging multiple calls I wasn't getting very far with Cakewalk support, they were trying to blame third party plugins etc. I was also experiencing an issue where Sonar wasn't remembering saved patches in Steinberg Halion, which they fobbed off as a problem with Halion. 
 
A good mate put me onto Studio One version 3, him having just cross graded from Logic, which I tried, no crashes, it's much faster and generally a cleaner DAW/Workflow than what is now a 25+ codebase that is Sonar.
 
Sorry Cakewalk but you've now lost a customer.

while i myself converted over to studio one, i must say that it wasn't because of stability, i always found sonar (x3 onwards) to be solid as a rock for me on my systems, as i find is studio one. i know there are people who do have stability issues with sonar, but it is the same with studio one or just about any other daw, you will always find some who have issues that most/a lot whatever others do not have. computers having many possible combinations of parts and software, and daws themselves being complex things, seems to me to make it inevitable that these things will happen to some. i continue to follow even if i don't use much any longer, and i must say the recent events are rather exciting, and the lifetime deal seems to be quite awesomely inviting, so much so that i will be laying down the money to stay onboard and keep following into the future.

I will also be with cakewalk in the future, I just like what they have done with the product, its been solid as a rock.
I've have not had 1 crash/ new pc that I build 2 months ago using sonar every day.
it all depends on your set up. don't get me wrong, there will always be an instance or two of sonar crashing because of something to do with the software (bad plug in, compatibility, exc).
but this... "sonar crashed all the time..but it doesn't crash at all on studio one"
im not buying it. its not sonar, its more then likely your hardware or a bad plug in "Steinberg Halion"
how can so many other have success with sonar, but it crashes all the time with JUST sonar ?
 

Haven't had a crash for a LONG time.
 
I'm with you Mr Jones, 99% of the time it's NOT Sonar.

Just noting that DwayneM, who has made a grand total of 5 posts on the forum, has resurrected a post from practically a year ago, to tell us that he's fed up with Sonar and is off to Studio One.  Could be true, but my radar is screaming "troll!".

Well I guess that explains what the big June 1 announcement will be:)

I purchased Studio One as well and bounce back and forth between Sonar Plat and Studio One.  Sonar's routing is really excellent with the addition of patch points and aux tracks......Hope they round it off with VCA's like the Studio One implementation. That would be excellent! I also really want to see more pro-channel 3rd party support!
It's turning out like 3d TV at this point......:-(  
 
   Studio One is very fast and the workflow is very smart. It's not as deep as Sonar on features but it is like a little Ferarri....... I hope Sonar Plat takes some of the Studio One workflow enhancements and runs with them.
 
    My main beef with Sonar Plat at this point is what forum member "aslow" mentioned in a recent post .....the 3/4 second global hiccup that Sonar Plat has especially frustrating with the transport controls when you get a larger project loaded.
 
   The only other thing that really gets under my skin is not having a mouse wheel controllable scroll with the pop up menus.... example adding patch point or aux tracks adding or deleting sends and having to click on the down arrow to get to your selection. This is a super pain in the butt when you have many busses and aux tracks to pass over to arrive at your selection!
 
     As the updates keep coming in with Sonar I find my self using it more than Studio One at this point now that the Honeymoon with Studio One has faded..... but Cake really needs to fix some 
of these simple workflow issues and the 3/4 sec. hiccup. I have faith that they will..... but in the words of Varuka Salt....... I want it now!! ;-)
