Virtual Machines require a major performance overhead, latency is a nightmare. Of course hardware will get faster as the decades roll on in future making this less of a problem, but not a good option right now.

Your observation is extremely valid, as is your sage advice to get up to speed with Studio One (since many ProTools pro engineers/producers are doing this as well).

Given your amazing contributions in the past and continuing today, I don’t feel you should need to explain or defend yourself against “hater” comments.

Rock On, Craig 🤘🏻

Agreed; I've considered Craig's input here as a valuable resource.
 
While I'm still using SONAR for daily client work, my nights are usually spent learning Studio One ( I really like the workflow). I will freely admit that my decision to use Studio One as my pivot away from SONAR was partially influenced by the fact that my "resource" (Craig) is also available once the full transition occurs. 
 
That kind of value to a community is anything but "silly". 

Fair enough, Craig is right because Craig. No surprises...
Moving on then..

I've been around this forum for a long time, probably longer than most of you.  I personally thank Craig for his continuing interest and contributions. I also have Studio One 3 Pro and had version 2 before that.  I also have Reaper, Mixbus, and recently picked up Mixcraft Pro 8 which has some similar Sonar features.  I will probably start learning S1 3 in earnest in the days ahead as well as migrating to it.  I will still use Sonar since that is what I know best.  I also downloaded the trial version of Digital Performer 9.5 and am checking that out, but I prefer the Studio One 3 interface better.  I'm just trying to find the DAW that feels the most familiar to me.  I secretly harbor the thought that Sonar might be picked up by some company who can take it forward into the future, but I'm not holding my breath!
 
Cheers!

Craig is right because of Craig? Hmmmm.  That is a correct statement. Genius on second thought. 
 
Craig has opinions, he takes a position, he validates to the best of his abilities, he communicates well, but more importantly, he reports on topics that the majority of the forum appreciate, may learn from - AND -  continues to follow up when there is an importance to the subject. If he is wrong, he admits it.  If he sees something of value from someone else, he reports his appreciation. He's a consummate, no BS teacher and author. Maybe because of his decades long involvement in recording\midi\engineering\publishing\invention and his trusted working relationship with the best of the best in his selected field(s), his perspective carry's a truth and is weighted in high regards with our community. In that simple way, I wholeheartedly agree- Craig is right because of Craig or said in another way, Craig is trusted because of the person he is. Right?
 
No surprises. That is an incorrect statement. But again, genius on further review..
 
Usually, when I open a forum post from Mr. Anderton, I am pleasantly surprised by a few things.  How the content fits one of my needs.  How well the content is described. How timely his information is.  I disagree - Craig is full of surprises. Right?
 
Take care,

Virtual machines are very cool and I use them for other purposes, but I don't think that they are capable of real-time audio.  Dual booting instead with an OS that supports a direct interface to audio hardware and drivers is a must for real-time audio.

Have to agree on this point. From my experience, even VMware on a decent PC has a tough time processing direct input audio and video hardware.
