+1 to the issue being personal choice. No different than asking humbucker vs single coil, upright vs baby grand, etc. People can explain their preferences, but you have to experience for yourself.

No reason you cannot use both. A good test for yourself would be to do something end to end in S1... Could simply recreate something done before in SONAR and evaluate the new workflow. You may get an epiphany one way or the other to your own question.

I don't know one guitarist who switched from, say, a Fender to a Gibson. They play both.

Although Gary Moore was a famous Gibson Les Paul player, he would often play strats in his early days. Ritchie Blackmore started with Gibson ES than switched to the Fender Stratocaster. Jimi Page Replaced tele with a LP.  So it's not uncommon to finally settle with a particular "weapon of choice". I still don't have a Gibson guitar in my arsenal, although I own a very rare Epiphone FlameKat.

Has he gone yet (the OP)?
 
Can we start talking about him now?

You're already talking about him.

Any reason not to lock this thread? We've established beyond a shadow of a doubt that more than one DAW exists in the world.

Meh. I say leave it open. I think it has value and no one is spazzing out.
 

Dueling "helpfuls." 
 
People should use whatever software they like best, and there's no law against using more than one program. SONAR users have already chimed in that stability problems typically have more to do with the environment under which SONAR is run than SONAR itself.
 
What more is there to say on the subject that hasn't been said? 

It's just interesting to hear what people do in regards to multiple DAWs within their workflows and how SONAR fits into that.
 
Meh. I thought it was interesting.

To the OP - Never trust a DEMO! All the ones I've ever tried behaved differently from the full version.

I dunno. I'm still in the shadows for this one. Sure I've "heard" of others, but hearsay never proved anything. People believe anything they hear if they like the sound of it. I need convincing!

any excuse, right?!
 
 

It depends on who is driving and what sort of things you are doing. To me sometimes Sonar feels like a clunky old truck and Studio One is the sports car.  For me personally I don't need multiple DAW's either. You can really do everything on just one and you only have to remember one set of keyboard commands and workflow. The moment I start using a different DAW everything slows down.
 
The problem is too that many don't know how to do most things on the other DAW so they think they cannot be done. e.g. opening multiple projects in Studio One. You can, and not only that have scratchpads for all of them! Having said that what I really mean is for me a lot of DAW's are very similar so you are not really achieving much by using two of them. I do use a second DAW and that is Mixbus but the reason for that is, it is nothing like Studio One. Very different. Two very different DAW's can work. And compliment rather well.
 
The AR16 mixer will probably lock into Studio One better as well. The Presonus hardware and software is quite integrated.
