We get it. You want a million loopty loops at hypersonic fidelity so moles can appreciate your superior audiofile sensabilities and anyone who plays an instrument are ignorant dinosaurs who should be left to sink into the swamps that will be the future oilfields of the looper community to extract and press into five gazillion bit discs at a whim.
 
Sonar is a well rounded DAW and yes... many of us play guitar or other wood and steel based instruments that require physical movement.
 
If you want something that caters almost exclusively to EDM production there are other options such as Ableton, FL Studio and now Bitwig.
 
Sonar could and should improve on a few things to take advantage of the EDM market HOWEVER they already have extensive features for that type of work AND they need to make sure us creaky old farts, who make up a large portion of their user base, remain happy.
 
And I said it the first time I saw you freaking out about this stuff... GO BUY PROPER THIRD PARTY SAMPLES if that is what you want! Cakewalk is not in the business of sample creation. They are a DAW manufacturer and I for one would prefer they continue focusing on THAT.
 
kthxbye

Abelton Live to create, Sonar to Mix.
 
Not a cheap solution, but a great pair!

Apparently "Music Creator 7" is the successor.
 
 
Or then again there's the all-new "Tracktion 6" ($60) you might be interested in - just released. It has Melodyne Essential with ARA Integration as standard, it has the worlds best Time Stretch Algorithm (Z-Plane's "Elastique Pro"), it also has a nice suite of built-in plugins, plus comp-swiping for editing waveforms, and a true single-screen streamlined interface, and also an all-new Step Sequencer blah blah...  And a big-name producer is also quoted as saying "A mix in Tracktion sounds better than in Logic (there's something beautiful going on with the summing as there's more headroom in the mix bus)."
 
This is what happens when DAW-makers peeve me off, i start looking at the possibility of alternatives...

 For now, i'll give Cakewalk the benefit of the doubt though.

Considering the majority of the promo and tutorial material released is intro'd by electronic type music and the subject material is a gain mostly dancy type stuff I highly doubt they have an aversion to the genre. If anything on this side of the spectrum, as I was still learning, I wondered whether they cared about live musicians like me due to that stuff.
 
Now that I use it regularly I realize that it is extremely powerful for what I do AND now that I am literally in the process of studying up on all the samplers and synths included in the program that the electronic/sampling possibilities are endless as well.
 
Seriously I cannot even imagine being stuck trying to create synth/loopbased music in Sonar with all the things included.
 
Sounds like someone is blaming their "instrument".
