Sonar 5 studio edition with Rapture

Hi guys. You already helped me answering many of my questions , should I get this or that etc... Afterall I decided to add Sonar 5 Studio Edition to my collection so I can use it with Rapture. I went and ordered it and thought let me look at Sonar Forum. I was sadly shocked to see and hear nothing but people complaining. I thought man you should have checked it before ordering it.. Any feed back ? I read complaints about the new updates and all that .... is it major problems or just small situations here and there !!!!
in other words should I open the box or should I return it.

Any help will be appreciated :) Thanks fellows

No, I haven't had any problems with SONAR5 at home - tho I've been mostly running rapture and trying out Acid 6 these last couple of weeks. I plan on mixing some older stuff (again!). I'll post any problems, but usually there are a few bugs that get worked out by the .2 or so.

How is Acid Pro 6 and Rapture? That's a combination I was considering.

Acid seems to run heavier with VSTi's than your run of the mill DAW. Of course, it is .0 version so it should get better. Otherwise, it works fine.

Acid 6 seems to be a fun program. Easy to work with, tho not as many loops/patterns as P5 come with it. I started banging out a song within minutes of starting it. Rapture and Z3TA+ plugged in fine, but with both open the system got sluggish. Converted to audio and started adding loops with no problem.

I had some sony acid files my buddy at Sony sent and they looped better than in Cakewalk (big surprize there, I guess).

Most programs seem to work pretty good these days, so it is mainly a matter of what you have, how you work and what it might be able to do. I have to balance having fun with trying different programs and actually getting something finished here at home. There is something to be said for actually getting better at one program than trying to find the mythical perfect one that you'll never get good enough at.
