Had a long conversation with Softube yesterday and this topic came up. All I can say is the integration being developed sounds impressive, so much so that Softube will be launching a full press release when it's lanuched.
The delay is partly due to the fact they underestimated the take-up of Console 1 when they cut the price and there a couple of bugs still to be addressed.
300% increase on orders has caused delays (7 weeks for me) in deliveries. They are expecting to clear backlog by next month and don't want to make the same mistake again if the orders spike. Couldn't get a date from them but may be only a month or so away.

I am literally now in the process of shopping around for a good deal on Studio One, and when I find one I will drop my Sonar subscription and that will be it.  I feel a little sad about it actually.

Go ahead, nothing to be sad about. Many of us have multiple DAWs. I got Studio One earlier this year. It was a sobering experience.

Wow.  Are you quoting back on the first post, from three months ago (!), without reading the rest of the thread?  Conversation went a few places in-between then and now.

The whole thread is a bit fancy for me. The discussion is about $700 set of FXes (I hope worse the price, I do not have experience to judge) delivered with may be $100 worse hardware MIDI controller and about 2 different DAWs, less then $500 each (top versions). It is rather difficult to understand the point

It's simple an extension that allows a vst plugin to talk back to the host and set mixer states. Not that complicated. I'm trying to get more info if isn't proprietary well consider it.




I'm a primary user of another DAW, but have been considering updating my Sonar X3 to the new Platinum Lifetime updates. I gotta say, Noel, your engagement here on this forum and pursuit of feature-matching has won me. I'll be putting out that $199.

Wow what a conversation.  
 
 

I'm surprised this thread doesn't have a "conclusion" post that mentions this integration has been completed and SONAR is now identical with StudioOne when it comes to track control with Console1. A major kudos to the Bakers.
 
(now if Console1 could control Pro-Channel fx we'll be off to the races! :-) )
