There's a thread there now...
"Do all DAWs suck?"

The OP mentions that Sonar's "latency" gets worse over time.
Well... latency only has two sources.

• audio interface
• latent plugins inserted in the project

That particular complaint has to be pilot error.

It could also possibly be caused by a software bug, in the PDC code for example

Not that I've noticed it myself

Yes, a bug in the PDC code could affect latency.
But... the OP in that thread was essentially saying Sonar's latency has gotten worse over time.
That's not the case... or everyone would be experiencing it.
My guess is that the OP started using latent plugins... and is blaming additional latency on the host.
 

I should go and read the thread :-)

I didn't get past the first page, but the OP is either an arrogant noob or a level three troll :-)

Claiming a company has no future if they do not support "whatever crap I have decided to buy" is pointless.

Some quotes don't age well. I was just looking at the exciting "Future's So Bright, Gotta Wear Shades" news release of this past summer: http://blog.cakewalk.com/cakewalk-kicks-off-30th-anniversary-with-major-sonar-update-much-more/
 
Yes, it was going to be an exciting year of celebrations, but the birthday party turned into a face-down on the floor bender that didn't end well.
 
I've been looking at other DAWs for about a year. I've jumped to Studio One 3.5 and so far I haven't found any gaps in my workflow (and I'd say my workflow has improved in terms of speed). It's an easy jump, but then when I took up CW on the "lifetime updates" offer, I knew that the end was nigh and I had to get doing some homework.

All the emotion about the shutdown should be reserved for the staff and people directly affected by the decision to shut down.
 
SONAR is long in the tooth and could use redevelopment, but that's an expensive proposition and I suspect Gibson's board wasn't interested.
