Congratulations to Cakewalk on the smooth release of the new Sonar.
While there may have been a few complaints here and there, the rollout of the new product went fairly smooth and I know I'm happy with it and the new purchasing model.
This congratulations comes on the news of the DISASTER of a rollout of Pro Tools 12. For those that also use/own Pro Tools I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. There's absolute chaos over there about no new features, no licenses, and wrong downloads in people's accounts. All the hype about track freeze, collaboration, and neither is in the new release. An embarrassment to say the least. Major web blogs are telling people to not even bother trying it.
I started with Sonar years ago, I do also use Pro Tools when I have to, but I've been back to Sonar since the X1 version and now use Platinum as my main DAW. Glad I came back.
