Thinking of Purchasing Sonar Producer - 3 ?s
Hello to everyone!
I am breaking the chains of Steinberg and am looking for a new DAW. I was about to go to the Mac platform and purchase DP when a friend turned me on to Sonar. Truth be told I had not even considered it but after having looked at it I am really impressed. What a great app!
I've got three questions I would like to ask if you all don't mind. :)
1) ASIO or WDM? Does WDM give any advantage in Sonar? I'm looking at either a Focusrite 10 I/O or a MOTU 828mkII. The Focusrite does not have WDM. Does WDM provide lower latency in Sonar? This matter to me, I do alot of MIDI.
2) I can't figure out how to change velocity settings when in piano roll mode!
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
3) This one is truly embarrasing. I've looked at the help file tutorial, some videos on YouTube and I can't get a soft synth to play from my Evolution MIDI controller. I know it is working, I can use it in (ugh) SX. I don't think Sonar is getting any MIDI data from the controller. Is there someplace on the interface that shows that MIDI data is being received? A blinky light or something? I don't understand the Synth track either. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks to all for reading this and for any replies. Sonar has really surprised me and if this works out it will save me a bundle!
