It's running a project knowing that Sonar could go lights out at any moment. So enjoy Sonar dont conplain in Studio One when it all goes tits up.

I would hate to lose all my projects.

Just out of curiosity, how do you work with projects? I usually only have a few going, the finished ones I can't lose like that because those are exported to audio format and I always write out the charts for them. And after they are done I usually never go back and mess with them, and even if I would I have all I need in the scores and charts. 
So at worst I would lose a few open projects if everything just dies out of nowhere.

Well if you took a break from starting threads about Cakewalk, you could go and back them up then get them started in S1, if that's what you're using now. As mentioned above, why on earth do you care what anyone else is doing?

If Studio one was so great, you wouldn't be here trying to motivate everyone to stop using Sonar.
You would be using Studio one all day, trying to learn its new features.
 
It's depressing enough thinking about the possibility of Sonar going off line without heaving someone rub it in our faces.
 
Studio one is a great DAW, so is reaper and Cubase.
But so is Sonar. There might not be any more updates but its still working fine offline here.
I did the off line authorization and the way I figure it, I can use Sonar for another few years until I slowly work my way in to a new DAW. Rather than running around in a frantic, panic attack buying a new DAW that I didn't research properly just because im so worried about Sonar.
 
So what are your promoting ??
Trying to put fear in to users to go out and buy a new DAW ASAP because "Sonar could shut down any minute now".
 

I'm not rubbing anything in. Sonar was good for what it did/was. It continues to be stable strong and robust. I like the product as much as John. But I like to keep things real. If cakewalk said tomorrow we are still running Sonar and a company came in to buy it I would be very happy.

I'm expecting everything to stay open indefinitely

S1P is actually so much better.
....
 
Yea there are a few things missing, but mostly things I don't use much 

So, S1P is so much better for you because even though it has missing things you don't use.
 
That debate (what is better for the individual than for the masses) has been going on since the 2nd DAW came into existence.

Long live Cakewalk Sonar!!!
The only real professional DAW software. You wont find anything like its Pro Channel in any other DAW.

I've not checked it out but what does S1P's channel strip add-on look and act like?
 
FWIW, I rarely use Pro Channel and I've been with Cake since PA4 (I only skipped V2 for some odd reason, but I bought V2 for my son, go figure).
