Seriously though......... there are many good people who can and will help you here, but the educational stuff these guys produce is excellent, even if somewhat late (I'm looking at you Scott !)



Thanks, Paulo! Better late than never.

Welcome. I don't think you will regret your decision. I am a faithful Sonar user, though I don't use it as much as I should. I have looked at PT 11 and at all the hardware available to go along with it... and if I ever want to go first class with PT.. I am going to spend some major bucks, not so with Sonar. Besides that, I really think that Sonar is better, if not better, more diverse, no better! It is more conducive to creativity. Then there is the residual rebelliousness from when I was younger, I never considered myself a lemming and find it offensive, not so much that I make anything out of it, but that inevitable unspoken "ahem" when someone tells me that they use Pro Tools. You can hear almost always hear it between the lines, not always. "I don't use a "toy", I use Pro Tools"". Maybe it is just me.
Somehow PT got in the big studios and cultivated an image of being the only real professional DAW. I think that is changing but change is slow and hard. It says a lot for you that you switched. I have been in business (not music related) for over 25 years and a lot of people will stay with a company they don't even like, people just generally don't like change.
It is good to not be part of the herd sometimes! Again, welcome. You will find a lot of helpful people here. There is also the Coffee House if you need a dose of silliness!

Welcome!
 
This thread is an interesting read; many nice points. Another point is that music is universal and not (pro)prietary, and there are many who are (avid) hobbyists, etc., without desire to be "(pro)fessional" but simply enjoy music for what it is. The topography changes a lot when people can do this with fairly simple hardware setups and create works of the same quality. [puns intended, couldn't resist ]
 
You came onboard at a good time... X3 is a real gem in many ways... and this forum definitely the #1 asset to Cakewalk!

G'day Jordan, as we say in Australia. Another welcome to Cakewalk from me.

I don't remember being welcomed to too many forums. But this is a special place with contributors from all around the world.

Welcome to Sonar, Jordan.  If you are curious about what kind of results you can get from CW, go to the Songs forum and listen to what's being made on Sonar.  I think you'll be amazed at the talent and diversity of music there.  Regardless, you've come to the right place.

Hi Jordan, may you have many years of making good music with Sonar. Keep your eye on this forum, there are many talented people that frequent the site, and there are often Cakewalk administrators around to lend a helping hand and keep us on track.
