This is a very good link. Thanks musichoo. To make the transition better I suggest people read this. Instead of trying to expect or make Studio One behave like Sonar, learn the program and the thinking. There is some important stuff that works differently. Different thinking. The first post in this thread explains a few things.
If you think you are going to able to just barge straight in with your next big complex project and do everything you do now immediately, you are wrong and you will hit a wall quickly. Like setting up multiple outputs say on a virtual instrument. You may not know where to look to do it. You will become frustrated and post silly subject lines like this DAW sucks!
You have got time to keep using Sonar like it is and learn a new powerful and very deep program over a longer time. In tandem even with your existing projects. Plan you existing and next Sonar project or two with migration in mind later. There is a ton of stuff you can do to make migration to Studio One smoother and better and will allow you to remix and master any existing projects. Personally I feel they are best left where they are and in time when you are ready start fresh new ones in your chosen DAW. And if you have got the time you could start a new project in it now (after some learning though!) and quietly figure out how to do everything you may wan't to do in that mix.
For the DAW you may end up with, watch all the Groove 3 stuff, all the developers own tutorials, all the YouTube stuff as well. Practice doing simpler things working up to more complex projects.
In time you will become very proficient at using it and your old DAW will fade into your memory.
There are some very nice and very helpful people over on the Studio One forum and they are willing to help any of you that decide to make the switch. There are also some excellent educators there as well. Don't forget Studio One Expert. An entire third party website dedicated to Studio One. There are tons of great teachers there as well. And lots of videos you should also be checking out too. They release videos on all the updates too.

This weekend I converted a project over from Sonar to S1 and I started a new project in S1. I did this for two reasons - one to verify that Melodyne Editor 2.x works in 3.5 (it does) and secondly, there aren't critical projects so I can take my time stumbling about. I may also start collaborating with another musician on these projects and he happens to use S1.
There is a lot of stuff in the software that is similar to Sonar, but just different enough that it takes a bit of time to figure out. Multi outs on Instruments is a good example (its actually better, imo). However, the amount of tutorial videos on the web is incredible. These make the program very accessible.

Durn, I was leaning towards Cubase after almost getting S1P, but now I'm still on the fence. I do feel lots of compassion for those who use Sonar as a work tool is that's their job. And those with Sonar on several workstations have choices to make.
If this was a work item we'd already have different vendors coming in to put their best foot forward.
Professionally unless a small business where it's a one or two person choice..., using out of business software would not typically be done.

I've been with CakeWalk since the DOS days. Sequencer only, 5"floppy. Now Sonar Platinum. Got the life time upgrades(short lifetime) should have known then there was something up. But this has been a blessing in disguise. Now I have StudioLive 32 series III with s1p and Digital Performer. This has been very Kool! Expanded my world immensely, I've always wanted to switch to Mac's but because of Sonar didn't, but now I can and I did. So I live in both worlds now. My FW-1884 (Tasam) has served me well and I will continue to use it but I have a feeling less and less. I just want to write this because when I heard the news I was really bummed, but it has turned out for the good! I would have never made this move without the push that Gibson provided. Negative side, hundreds of recordings that I haven't processed yet but it's not that bad. I do feel for the pros out there that have to deal with this: you have my prayers!!

I am very glad I started switching prior to the mad rush. The most frustrating way to learn a new DAW is to try and make it function like your previous DAW. I went into Studio One with total beginners mindset because i knew the kids I was working with would have zero DAW experience, so everything needed to be from the ground up. Hopefully this link gets people up to speed. Thanks for sharing

The best way to learn I found was to start studio one and press F1. Then read the manual from beginning to end (and/or download the PDF version). Forums helps best when the manual is not correct or is missing something (it often lacks screenshots for instance). I've tried to avoid asking questions unless I def know it isn't in the manual.

Plus the kids can download and use Studio One Prime for free. That, a cheap interface, and a microphone, and they are well on their way to learning to record!

That is the prime reason I picked Studio One. It was, imo the choice that allowed for most similar experience between free and paid product. Plus files are compatible going back and forth. We mostly work with the effects and VSTs that are also included with prime, since they are less overwhelming.
