[Posted Dec 2003] Why is Pro-tools the choice of most studio professionals not Sonar?

I have never used any other DAW/Software since I started using Sonar but I am just curious as to why "almost" every hit record/Album you look at today will give credit to Pro-tools as the DAW/Software used to record the abulm.

1. Is it because Sonar is exclusively PC based?
2. Is it because Cakewalk does not have hardware interface exclusively designed for Sonar?
3. Is it because Cakewalk products does not cost $200.000.00?
4. Is it because Cakewalk as a company is not giving/shoving free products down the throats of pro/engineers/producers?

What's your thought or reasons? Like I said I have not used Pro-tools exclusively but would like to understand.


Lets discuss people.
