Not blaming you personally, Craig. Without you, I don't know if CW would even exist right now. The fact that all these things are on your shoulders is in itself frightening.

It's great that SOS has a Sonar feature. It would be greater if the articles on mixing, or mastering or EQ were in Sonar too, now and then. And I can't shake the impression that SOS doesn't target the younger EDM-oriented demographic at all. I could be wrong.

As for all those awards, if they translate into sales figures that are comparable to Cubase or Logic, I take back everything I've said. And if they don't, I stand by everything I said.

Check out the Advanced Workshop videos I did for Cakewalk...they were extremely successful and well-received. I really need to do more, but there's this little company in Tennessee that keeps me really busy...

That's good, but most non-Sonar people would not watch video with Sonar mentioned in the title, they just filter it out. It need to be more tricky to attract them. For example there are videos where song is arranging in Ableton Live, and then it is mixing in Pro Tools, and it looks natural. Sonar videos are very straight-forward instead, often it is only features enumeration, and it is boring, and unusable for non-users.

...regarding all of the "Cakewalk doesn't do this, Cakewalk doesn't do that" complaints about not putting tutorials out there, several articles I've written on music techniques that were general but based around SONAR have been placed on multiple web sites and in magazines....I'm doing something, I don't just sit around and whine. I'd estimate maybe 30 of my Sonar-related articles have been placed in the last year or so. Yeah, I know. I'm such a slacker. Don't forget I work full-time at Gibson, too...this is what I do in my spare time because I give a damn. And it's not just about SONAR, I show people how to use computer-based tools in general because I want to contribute something to this stupid planet before I die. So sue me.
 



I'm not sure if here you were responding to my last couple of posts or not, Craig. 
 
If you were --  then you completely miscast what I was saying. Yes, I know there's a ton of useful stuff out there, a lot of it written by you -- I even pointed that out a few hours ago. I was merely building on what you said about the tutorial with the included files. I was agreeing that they are good, and suggesting (not complaining) that more like them might be a good idea, not just for me as a user, but for CW as a marketing tool. Now, strictly speaking the latter's not my problem, but having used CW / Sonar from '97 - '05, and then again since a year ago, I give a damn. Sort of, anyway. Though not so much that I'll offer any more suggestions if I'm gonna get my head bit off.
 
If you weren't -- [Gilda Radner voice] Never mind.
 
Either way ... it's Friday night in Tennessee. I hear they make good whiskey there. Why not unplug for a while and try some?

OK?
 
NO EXCUSES - If every single one of you bothered to do so - you might make the bakers more money and in turn a better product... Just 5 MINUTES of your time. A lot of us spend a heck of a lot of time in these forums trying to help people here, we love this product, I love the fact the bakers allow us to say more or less what the heck we like (good or bad)... now it's payback time... please contribute...

Sorry, but I'm not giving them my info, just for what is probably a not very productive survey.

Well now another 80 views. Of course not everybody is going to be on board... but if you love Sonar...
Remember SOS is probably THE most respected sound engineering publication out there, I remember it from the 80's
Actually this is VERY PRODUCTIVE....
Use a fake phone number and email address, what the heck if it worries you...

It's a tough thing to argue about who's opinion count's , who's  doesn't ,  What's the best DAW ?, or What's not the best DAW ?….
 
My feeling is , It is almost impossible to be totally objective about such a totally subjective topic …
 
one size don't fit all and I'm glad it is that way ,
