Don't you just love popularism.

CakeAlex, you are a legend around here, but not in the way you wish. You are well remembered as the tool who attempted to hijack this forum a few years ago, pretending many of us were unworthy of having a problem addressed or even participating in a discussion without your blessing. You continue to post here, trying to appear to be the smartest person in the room, while in the end you come off completely the opposite. 

Craig has every right to have an opinion, but then so do I and others. Then again apparently not... and yes I did get shut down and here is another attempt.

I have pointed out that the comparisons Craig made were extremely misleading, there are some very clear quotes if you read his first 3 or 4 posts.. which of course no surprises has thrown me straight into the lion's den. I had hoped things may have changed but no.

I appreciate some of you all want to drag me into an old historical arguement, the temptation to say what actually happened is very strong to be honest, but then I realise it's not going to do any good really and whatever happens the fanbase simply won't allow another point of view without shouting people down. It's a religion.

I think this thread in it's entirety demonstrates why many people found Sonar unapproachable. Some people should bare some responsibility for that imho but that's another debate and ultimately it does not matter any more.

It's clear that there going to be no sensible discussion about how Sonar may stop running from a technical perspective, so that's all folks.

RIP.

“Moving on then..”
 
“that's all folks”
 
Again, you have lied. A small piece of sanity inside you says you should quit spouting hateful rhetoric and move on while you still have a smidgen of dignity, but you just won't listen. Poor self control, like always.
 
And since you are apparently incapable of honest intelligent venomless conversation and it is futile to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man...many of us now have you set to “ignore”.   

Craig, I don't think there is any particular reason why Sonar would suddenly stop working. As you say, there is ancient software that still works on Win 10. However, it is still a big risk without a backup simply because Sonar won't be getting any more development to fix any such issues if they arise.
 
I got Studio One and Samplitude in the deals, and against all expectations, I am loving Samplitude and now prefer it to Sonar. I am still having to use Sonar for some things, but to be honest, I hadn't realized what I was missing out on elsewhere. Sonar is unstable in comparison - the audio engine now keeps stopping for no reason on a couple of legacy projects. Beyond legacy use and porting old and current projects to Samplitude, I don't really see any reason to continue with Sonar. It can't do anything that Samplitude can't do and in fact, Samplitude can do a whole lot more. Sonar is a bit like a sick fish floating on its side in an aquarium at the moment and it doesn't look like it's going to recover. The kindest thing to do really is flush it down the toilet :)

I understand your sentiment, but as one example, I still can't make an acidized loop library with anything but Sonar or Acid Pro 7 (which has been on version 7 since the Visigoths attacked Rome). Also without Matrix view, I need to ReWire Live into a host. I think Samplitude has always been underrated, but last time I checked it doesn't have DSD import/export, and while Mix Recall isn't crucial, it saves me a lot of time. I also don't think Samplitude has a step sequencer or FX Chains with the same kind of customization as SONAR (although Studio One's FX Chains definitely improve on SONAR's).
 
As I've said before, not only do DAWs have a lot in common, but they also have their own deal makers/deal breakers. There are many areas where SONAR is deficient, but it also has some unique features that I would hate to lose over time.

 CakeAlexS ahole because ahole.

What was this thread about again?

 
Which sums you up completely. You are the reason I ditched the forum, for some time, years ago. As I stated to you all that time ago, you are not, and never have been, an expert, employee, even a good Samaritan, of Cakewalk. You crowned yourself king cake alex. No one else.

If I had a dollar for every time you said something similar to this, I could buy SONAR myself. Far better people than you have already contributed enough information from a 'technical perspective' to arm us accordingly.
 
So do as you have said many, many times, and leave. The door is wide open mate..
