I'm definitely something of a novice compared to you guys.
Whether that is true or not should make absolutely no difference whatsoever because the whole flaw in that theory is primarily based on "human nature " ..
It may be true that a number of people here may have a powerful online presence ...or they may be considered to be very helpful and a valuable resource in many areas of SONAR and Music production ...I will give them that ...
If I was to make a comparison of myself to any number of them , my inherent human nature would set up a little game where it would use "my own faulty perceptions " to stack the deck in the other persons favor ....
I would be better off comparing myself to the poorest people in Africa and then to the richest people in the World
Using that as my scale of comparison ...it may show that I'm not doing as bad as I thought ....maybe I would find that I'm even doing pretty good ..
Speaking Musically ..
Would not a better comparison be to compare oneself to the person they were when they first started in Music to the person they have already become musically , with an eye and an ear on becoming the best person and musician they hope to be in the future ?

To be honest I'm rediscovering home recording after a bit of a break. Moved house recently, divorce blah, blah
Actually that sounds like a very good position to be in ....Out with the old . In with the new ....
Recording and Music can be a very good outlet when one is going through something like that ....
It may not sound like much , but I get to play and record in front of a captive audience every night .....

I'm the sort of bloke who will probably need quite a lot of support. Even the registration process seems a bit problematic. Just nervous that I won't get the help I'll inevitably need.
If you happen to need a lot of help and support in areas that are not your expertise . Your in the right place ..
You can get the fastest help and answers asking a question here on the forum ...
Last month some of the Windows updates brought me into the championship rounds of the fight ..
SONAR kept crashing for some unknown reason .Since computers are not my thing , I asked for help and a few of the forum members helped guide me to fix my problems .
FWIW the problem had nothing to do with SONAR at all .It was a Windows failed update issue ...
The registration process has gotten much simpler since X3. I happen to like it much better than the old way ...
The Cakewalk Command Center does a real good job at keeping SONAR up to date and having all my products registered ....just so you know ...I fought it tooth and nail and swore I would never use it when I was on X3 ...
I've come to depend on The CCC and I'm very happy it's there ...

I probably will upgrade.
I hope you do upgrade ..the only reason why I'm in your thread in the first place is to tell you what my impressions are between X3 VS SPlat ....
Having them both on the same machine and being able to see and hear for myself has brought my opinion to
there's absolutely no comparison between the 2 ...
Just in performance alone SPlat runs rings around X3 in Win 10 .
Some of the newer features in SPlat may or not matter to you , yet they are there and included ....
If you read the list of whats included in SPlat since SPlat came into being it's pretty amazing ....

If I move away it's another learning curve (not that I'm far up the Sonar slope).
If I'm reading this correctly , I'm getting the impression you like to use other brand DAW's from time to time ..
If that's the case . Yeah I hear you ..lol
I have many of the main DAW's engineers would consider to be SONAR's current main competition in both PC and Mac ...
Having said that , there is no doubt in my mind that many of the people that develop and produce Cakewalks SONAR also have many of the main DAW's folks / engineers would consider to be SONAR's current main competition in both PC and Mac ...
They would have too
just to be able to have developed a competitive product in the DAW market place
I happen to think that is a good thing ...from that angle I will leave it at that ...for now ..
As far as learning curve goes ...I hate to say this ...it is a tough one to admit and swallow ...
If I don't know how to use a compressor , eq , or any plug for that matter in SONAR
It also means I do not know how to use a compressor , eq , or any plug for that matter in Logic , Cubase , Abelton Live , Samplitude Pro X2 , Mixbus 3 or any of the other 7 or 8 DAW's I have not mentioned
The other side of the coins is... all knowledge that has been learned correctly is transferable
all the best ,
Kenny
