Hi
I have Sonar x2 but mainly use cubase elements 6 as I could not get the R16 to work with Sonar x2 plus I find Cubase easy to work with (more intuitive ) for doing simple things like the scissor and rubber tool to select and delete bits of a track I don't want (I am not saying it is any better than Sonar as a Daw in case I upset anyone here just that for me I find it easier to use) . However have been offered a good deal by Cakewalk to upgrade to X3 and it looks a very nice DAW and if I could get it to work with my Zoom R16 that would clinch the deal for me so anyone use the R16 without a problem with X3?

Works fine for me.

Please make sure you launch the X3 installer with the explicit Run As Administrator, as it give the install process more execution privileges than you get normally - even if the user account is an administrator.  
 
X3d is quite stable, and lots of folks are pretty happy with it.
 
Many people in the forum have more than 1 set of recording software - lots of people do different tasks in different software.  Nothing wrong with that.  I wish I had that kind of money, though I would probably spend it on better reference monitors or food.  :)
