Does someone knows if some day the Mac Users will have the honor to use this piece of software?

I was a user of cakewalk for several years, but OSX, Logic and pro tools take me to the dark side, I love Sonar but I hate Windows, if there any chance??

If you have Logic and Pro Tools why would you use Sonar?

Get over your religious convictions. Once I'm working in Sonar, Windows barely comes into play. On my computer Windows is called the "Sonar Operating System".

Sorry you missunderstood my post - I have Pro-Tools and currently don't have a Logic workstation. I was responding to what seemed to be a troll like sentence.

I completed several commercially released CD's in Sonar last year and am currently working on three. I also produced twelve broadcasts for NPR in Sonar last year. It's possible you've not encounted some of my posts.

I kind of see my "why would you use Sonar" comment as if it were coming from Ron K.

I'm not too adept at the smiley icon thing and therefore my irony was probably lost.

BTW there are times were I must use Pro-Tools or Samplitude for due to a Client's needs and inter-studio portability. I'm happier that I can now run M-Powered Pro-Tools on XP which is why my Logic workstation is no longer in operation. I just haven't gotten many calls for Logic oriented projects in a while.

Sonar is what I reach for for every project initially, and each year I teach several hundred students to use Sonar in my Sound Design class at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.

Too bad you can't delete your post?

Great point. Almost all the plugins are useable on both platforms and you probably shouldn't run pro audio apps on a general use computer anyway, so why not get a music only Windows PC?

Hey nobody get my point, I don't want you to get mad about what system you are using to make your music, I only want to know is somebody here (SONAR EXPERTS) know something about Sonar for Mac OSX.

Thanks for your help and remember, the real music it is in your heads, no in your computers, these are only tools.

This has been done, redone, and overdone!!!!!!
Most think that there is no compelling reason for Cake to go to the Mac side.

Erm, no, Sonar experts don't know anything about Sonar for OSX, because there is no such thing.
But soon, Macs will be capable of running Windows, so if you wanted to I suppose you could run Sonar on a Mac then.
There really is no need for this "I want to move to MacOSX" thing, both platforms are equally adept at handling audio, and indeed some of the major players (SADiE, and Pyramix come to mind) only run on Windows, likewise, as you well know, there are several top-flight software solutions that only run on Mac.

Hola, llevo años en windows, y despues de alguna conversación con personas que trabajan y viven de esto, Mac, es mas estable, en su propio conjunto, y esto es de valorar, Sonar es practico para mi, y hablar o comparar otras Daws es algo normal en el ser humano....pero hoy por hoy creo que SONAR debería de dejar decidir al cliente con quien trabajar, seguro que aumentaría la estima en la mayoría de personas hacia sonar. No culpo a Sonar, sobre inestabilidades del sistema, pero el poder elegir el sistema operativo es ser mas libre.
