Rain .....we discuss stuff, even trivial things, we disagree all the time, and don't put each other on trial all the time. It's great, I tell you...
Well said.

That's probably it. ;) Nah, I just had a look - Sonar did look relatively nice from version 4 on... Sonar 9 would have been killer, I tell you guys. ;)

FWIW, I have Cubase 7.06 and S1 Pro 2.6 and I find X2/3 to be much easier on the eye's. The foreground/background color scheme makes it easier to discern small objects, and this alone makes it easier to use. With X3 catching up to S1 Pro in several functions (ARA, for example), I now find myself wishing that SONAR had some chord analysis tools like Cubase 7. THAT would be an excellent addition, IMO. G

John Rain is cool. I disagree with him a lot but not because he is boorish. He is one of the few Mac people that actually has a brain. I like the look of X3 too.
LOL Thanks, John. Actually, I managed to retrieve tons of old Cakewalk projects from a bunch of old hard drives during our last trip back home. At first, I entertained the idea of slowly re-building them in Logic, but considering how much work that represents, I'm now thinking that maybe it'd be a good idea to grab a little inexpensive PC to run Sonar X and access the projects in their native format. For some reason, I prefer that option to BootCamp. I'd be like an honorary PC user I guess... :)

Yep, I definitely do recall... It wasn't of any import or worth a mention until someone inaccurately mentioned it as 'little'.... Now, sarcasm doesn't bite unless it hits a nerve, and it's much more polite than saying 'bullsh*t!'. If something is so utterly unimportant, yet it manages to get past the effort to post it, it is in fact important, claims otherwise not withstanding. Many of us are absolutely sick and tired to death of all the negativism being displayed these last few days. Take it to the KVR cesspool.

SuperG That a tracker?
Yessir. One of the best! Trackers are still going strong (albeit with a smaller user base) and I'm thinking about adding one to my toolbox...it's a totally different way of arranging music that makes you think differently about the whole process.

I love my workflow in Sonar, I mean I really, really love it. I understand it and somehow the development team at Cakewalk seems to understand how I think a program should work because many times when using the X series I will think "if I developed this I would provide..." and I test it out and voila it's there. It's eerie. But when it come to the cosmetics of the interface I have to side with Rain. FL meets Reaper. Regards,

I not record, mix and masterize with eyes, but with ears. So, is so much more important for me the tools that the DAW program put at my disposal, the stability and facility of obtain results that the DAW program can give me, than if it can put colors in tracks, have an elegant visual, etc. Only my 2 cents.

McGurk effect, very cool! I've always liked the way Cakewalk DAWs looked. X3 is looking even better. Better visuals help the engineer for sure, but I can also you tell from the standpoint of someone who runs a professional studio, clients and their friends love watching the music on the monitor and a better looking DAW makes them feel better about their decision to go with your studio on a subconscious level I'm quite sure.

I don't understand this thread. Why would anyone complain about having options to change colors? When X1 was released I was forced back to 8.5. The GUI for X1 was a disaster and if it were not for Sonarmods, I would never have been able to use either X1, let alone X2.

All kidding aside that is a good idea Rain. Take care my friend.
