Who cares! S1P is actually so much better. I wish they would have done this before so I could have gotten on a good DAW before now. I had no idea there were so much better DAWs. Better late than never!
 
S1P has a better workflow, better options, as good if not better plugins and FX, more content, and takes less CPU. It's a far superior DAW in my opinion. Yea there are a few things missing, but mostly things I don't use much and there are many other things that are welcomed additions that I will use. 
 
Blow a hole in that boat and sink it!

I'm rapidly coming to the same conclusion, and that's after only around 5 hours or so using it.

Been working with Sonar for several hours today, and to my "amazement" it is working just fine. Go figure, the sky is not falling just yet. :)

"Someone left the Cake out in the rain
I dont think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no, oh no!" :(

Gosh ... we never thought that the song was that important or meaningful. Now, hearing Richard Harris sing that one more time, makes me feel like ... wow ... a true geek ... can sing better than most singers!
 
Fine actor, though ... really fine actor!

The captain has already jumped of the boat or should I say been pushed off. We are still on the boat wondering if the captain will help us. The captain is already sailing on another boat and the crew are scattered. Some are here still sailing on the same old boat wondering where the boat is going.

This is usually the case with a lot of "leaders" these days ... they did their job ... closed down the competition, and now they can continue their work at the real company they belong to!
 
Come to think of it, in College Football, it is just about the same thing ... loyalty? Go get yourself another whore!

I feel good working in Studio One and can't wait to get back to it. I miss it more than Sonar.

It sounds interesting that you guys like Studio One so much, I think that is promising. If at some point I have to change DAW, it is good to know previous users of Sonar like other systems. Personally I could care less if it says Sonar, ProTools, Studio One or whatever on my DAW, I am not loyal to software in that sense, all I care about is usability and time sunk into it. Time is one BIG reason for why I want to use Sonar until I can't. Spend countless hours with it and that is an investment much more important than the few dollars spent buying the damn thing. 
It is the reason I am not swithching at this point. That time is too valuable to be thrown away unless thereis no choice. 
 
Will be interesting to see what you guys think after a month or two, given this place is still around of course :) 

I was expecting a final release to allow operation without Cakewalk servers.  If Gibson does not take this step it will be unforgivable!!!  They have a black mark in my book but failing to do this will drive a major backlash from me and possibly others...
 
Long live Cakewalk Sonar!!!

Why do you care so much about what everyone else is doing/thinking/feeling?
 
This thread adds nothing to the dialog.
