Peter - love the song. 

Tell them about your (I hope you have it) lifetime free updates and ask them if <insert their DAW name here> offers that?

Why is SONAR perceived as to not be a professional DAW?

I can't tell you why...

Yes and I do believe it's not in the gear so much as what you do with it.

You answered your own question Oftentimes you will find those who can't/don't do have plenty of time to criticize those who do do (I got doo doo into a post without vilotaing the TOS!). The end result is all that matters, and unless you told them, no one would know "how" anyway.
 
At least they didn't ask "How did you do that with Gibsons?!?"
 
Ignorant people (by choice) abound, it is a waste of time entertaining them.

One of the best lines I've seen characterized the YouTube comments section as "where intelligence goes to die."

Branding seems to be very important
Cakewalk needs an endorsement from a major producer
I have no idea how to go about doing that.
 
How many guitarists play Strats because of Jimi Hendrix or Les Pauls because of Jimmy Page.
 Ibanez became a player after Steve Vai and Joe Satriani came on the seen.
 

Nice tune.  Long time Alan Parsons fan here!
 
Also liked "The Long Road Home".  Picked up a David Gilmour vibe from that one

No need to make excuses, pumping out tracks like that does all the talking for you.
 
Killer guitar tones, great tune.

I think you're going to find quite a few defections from ProTools to Sonar in the near future due to their expense, update foibles, subscription model and expensive TDM plugins.  I also own ProTools 9 but haven't used it in a while now.  I do everything from tracking to mixdown to content delivery in Sonar.  I do demos for the Nashville market and I don't hear any dismissive chittering when I tell them I work in Sonar.
As long as it works and sounds great we creatives will use it.
Mark.
Btw, I started on Cakewalk Pro.

Frankly I don't give a damn what people say.  I like Sonar.  Besides you can't tell what DAW was used by just listening to a CD or MP3.

Love this post.  The market which is the listener doesn't search iTunes or Amazon for tunes made by certain DAWs.
 
Sad that there are people (often amateurs) who have insecurity issues with the DAW they use. I see this with users of FL Studio - often voted the most popular DAW.
