The lack of courtesy shown to the company that pays for this forum so he can promote another DAW is truly mind-boggling. 
 

Don't worry. No matter how hard he "promotes," not many of us are jumping ship. Maybe none. Also, users here are pretty good at spotting a troll.

I use StudioOne at times. I tried the arranger track and the Scratchpad and as much as I like it, it doesn't come anywhere near Mix Recall when you really now how to make use of it properly. Would I like the arranger view? Sure but I have a way to do that and with Mix Recall added to the mix, I think Sonar is still the better fit for me.

No need to mess with work around's, just use the real thing, the arranger track and the scratch pad in Studio One are IMO awesome, as is Studio One in general, I find I can get stuff done much quicker in the Studio One environment, and find I feel at home, and things just feel right, the way you do stuff, workflow, whatever, it just feels better, natural or something, plus it has quite a number of features that since I have become acquainted with them I really wouldn't want to be without. Only started using Studio One on release of Studio One 3 back in June or July or something I think, since then haven't really touched Sonar, just never felt the desire.  

Presonus must be getting desperate...

Have you noticed that Studio One gets smaller every version?
 
Studio 1/1, Studio 1/2, Studio 1/3 ...
 
I don't know about you folks, but I want MORE when I upgrade instead of less 

I can make a list of tons of things SONAR does that Studio One can't do. I can also list very cool features Studio One has that other DAWs don't have. And what would that prove?
 
Stand back, and be prepared for a profound realization: Products from different companies are made by different developers who have different priorities, which results in different features.
 
Yes, I realize this is an earth-shaking, precedent-shattering concept which has never been mentioned before by anyone on planet earth. In fact, I thought long and hard about the awesome responsibility involved in revealing this Ancient Esoteric Knowledge to the masses. But be strong - I believe you can handle the truth.

I'm glad I was standing back when I read that . Almost sprayed my computer screen with coffee and laughter after hearing that one.

I've been messing with studio one lately and it does have some excellent workflow features but so does Sonar.
 
Sonar's Mix recall is something I use all of the time and don't want to live without.....it's really an amazing feature however I would like the Cakewalk to enhance "Mix Recall" Manager so that you can select and delete mixes without having to load them. Maybe import mixes back in as well. Is there a way to do this already?

I'm seeing comments of a non linear approach. I get that has some merit.

I feel though that I get the best with a linear approach. I just record the way I think a piece could flow naturally.

Then, any time along the way if I want to open up space to slip in another section, or move something I use Select By Time. It's like moving parts of the song around like Lego blocks.

I like the linear approach so that I can just hear the flow. If I want to change or move a part or extend a part it's easy with Select By Time.

AndertonSONAR users are simply a better class of people.

 
Wow. That's quite a statement. Some of my best friends use other DAWs (as do I at times.) Maybe you left out a smiley?

SONAR users are simply a better class of people. You don't see them going into other forums and mocking other DAWs. They're probably too busy being productive and making music to spend time elsewhere.

I quit S1 when v3 was announced. Classic PreSonus. Marketing-driven. Lots of new products. No support for existing products. Audio interfaces whose drivers have NEVER worked for a large number of people (including me). Lots of frustrated users. NO formal PreSonus presence on the user forum (hangs the mods out to dry).
 
Do I go back to the PreSonus forum and post about how much I now dislike S1 and prefer SONAR? Nope. Why not?
 
Who the hell has the time? Not me.
