So was mine until last night - when WINDOWS decided it was going to completely splat my system

Not a happy bunny

Your unbelievable chuckybaby, more beguiling misnomers. You failed to state with your first link that the guy said normally he gets no such problems with latency on any other effect; might that mean that the SIR effect he was trying to use was at fault? I'd say so. Mixcraft has PDC, what part of that don't you understand??

That second link of yours, man oh man, try running Sonar on an i3 and then tell us what happens, you'd be better-off burning yourself at the stake than trying to put-up with running Sonar on an i3 with 4 gig of ram.

That third link of yours, well hey, 0.001 percent of users had a fatal error message, what are you trying to say? Sonar has 33% of users reporting such a friggin thing.

That fourth link of yours, well that guy is using Mixcraft 5 for god's sake.

Unbelievable man, chuckebaby comes in here with four links trying to diss the credibility of Mixcraft, and three of those links had no substance, and the other one sounds to me like he needs a registry cleaner. If those non-issue examples are the best you can come-up with, well hey, that is one hell of an endorsement for the stability of Mixcraft. 

Nothing to see here folks, move on, just a kaos agent spreading false propaganda.

Now would you like me to post all the links from sonar users having issues in the last 3 months? No, thought not, on your bike.

And FYI, i have already been told by the Mixcraft developers that Mixcraft 7 will have brand new graphics similar to Studio-One and Logic-Studio. Not that the graphics have anything to do with the sound. 

And how is Sonar gonna give me better sound chuckebaby? How? The integer maths for mixdown and recording in DAW's is all 'identical' across the board, and is the same for ANY DAW, just like the rubber on car tires, it's all identical. Anyone claiming otherwise hasn't got a clue. Thanks to the low cost of Mixcraft i was able to spend money getting high-end plugins like Lexicon reverbs and Izotope Mastering tools among others, so how the hell is Sonar gonna give me better sound?? Delusions of grandeur chuckebaby, or just self-deluded?


Next please.

wow,im not sure what to say,i guess nothing.
i was offering you my help man.

I think I'm getting the picture...the OP is 42...has just now in the year 2013 joined the rest of us who have enjoyed computer digital recording for years...and is suddenly an expert on Sonar, a program which he doesn't even own and use.

If you check he, she or it's post history, they've quickly gone from "what up guys; well just before i take the jump and buy Sonar X2 in preference to Studio One 2 and Cubase 7, can you please tell me how hard the learning curve is" on January 11th, to starting this thread less than a month later with " i thought Sonar X2a was mean't to fix the problems, but in actuality it has created more, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER PATCH Cakewalk releases..."

It's quite a leap from "Hey, I'm thinking about buying Sonar. Can you give me some advice?" to "You all suck if you don't like what I like!"

This thread is certainly not based on any depth of experience with Sonar, so I can't really take it seriously. 

Bye!

I had a discussion yesterday with two friends that have just started using X2 alongside
their main DAWs LogicPro, Cubase & Studio One.  They both have many years industry
experience, and one of them teaches at university level.

They cited Sonar's fast workflow, the Pro Channel and the quality of the audio engine
as reasons they were impressed and intend to dig deeper with Sonar.

Sonar is simply a tool, every tool has a purpose.
Use the tools that help complete the task.
If a tool is of no use, swap it out for one that is.  Bloody simple really!

I don't get on with left-handed screwdrivers, I'm right-handed you see ;)

I cannot believe some of the things that get said in this thread, please tell me what your taking man, i want some.

chilldanny reckons two people told him their opinion about Sonar. oh, ok, so now two people out of 100,000+ music DAW users is who we should be listening to, is that correct? Sheesh, what planet are you on man? These guys you mention are using 4 different DAW's, that tells me they can't make up their friggin mind what to use and that they are not happy with any of them. Yeah right, great endorsement for Sonar, utterly convincing.

Well for starters, there's no way the workflow in Sonar is faster than Mixcraft, fruityloops or Studio One.

Secondly, all audio engines in DAW's are identical, and only the VST's effect the end result.

Thirdly, the 'multi-aspect' 'variable harmonic saturation' modules in Izotope's Alloy II, allow me to achieve exactly the same result as the pro-channel.

Can't you come-up with something more convincing in favour of Sonar, forget it, it's full of bugs, and always has been.

Surely he's on a windup?

If so fair play to him - he's dragged loads of us in, hook, line, sinker & copy of Angling Times.

Now, please do us all a favour and bugger off.


I've purposely stayed out. Can't help thinking I might have missed out on some post count opportunity though.

I'm like you FBB, until my eldest son a Physicist told me that;    The "God Particle" is the name physicist and author Leon Lederman gave to the Higgs boson in his book The God Particle: If the Universe Is the Answer, What Is the Question
Lederman said that he settled for "the God Particle" because his intended title, "the Goddamn Particle," was rejected by the publisher.
I think he should have kept the original, it suites our friend better!!
Oh dear, I've been drawn in now.
