i have been away for about 5 years now, and was just wondering what all has changed since sonar 5? or in general in the audio world since 2007. i'm about to dive back in, and was wondering if i should purchace the new x1, or anything else for that matter. thanks.

Ummm, well, let's see, Michael Jackson died, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead, the zombie apocalypse may have begun in Florida, and oh yeah, SONAR may have changed a wee bit. But it's all good. Everybody loves it!
Seriously, Go for it! X2 is the shiznit.

Major interface and workflow changes, a video about it is here http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=2669041

It is about X2 however not X1.

I have been thinking about you for the the longest time wondering how you are. It is so good to hear from you again. I hope you are well. Needless to say you were missed.

Yes you should get Sonar X2 Producer. It will blow your mind!

How long have you got?

My advice is get X2, acclimatize to the changes and then wonder how on earth you managed with previous versions.

It will definitely be a very big change from SONAR 5. Be ready to spend some time learning how to use the program all over again.

Hey Ognis,
Welcome back. I vaguely remember hearing that your health hadn't been good.

Hope all is better now.
