I began working in the digital domain with the original Cakewalk MIDI sequencer. After some 27 years I'm cutting Cakewalk loose. After waiting patiently and continuously requesting that the company at least correct the bugs that have been present for many iterations of the software, I hit the wall. I've just spent 10 hours mixing a 5 track solo piano recording that should have taken 2 hours. I won't bore you with the illogical behavior of the program, but after many many workarounds, including those always recommended by support when they realize it's a bug or maybe several bugs, I finally got a mix. I have come to the conclusion that Sonar is not a professional audio workstation. I'll leave it to those in the MIDI realm, where it seems to shine. I'm moving up to MOTU Digital Performer.
 

Sorry you're having trouble Eddy. Maybe someone can help if you tell us what's going on.

Kinda had a feeling that there wouldn't be a response...

for what it's worth I don't feel DP is a mature enough product yet on pc.. and if it works for you great..
 
I would try a few things first, see how you get on... a lot of things have trials/demos
 

Heads up, Cakewalk people, if you hear ecstatic shouts of joy from across the river, it's MOTU having finally gained a Windows DP customer.

I always wonder if people who make the dramatic "I've been a cakewalk user since 230 BC...and Plato really knew midi...Cakewalk walked out on our three children..I'm leaving to the arms of another DAW" posts expect a Cakewalk rep to chain himself to their ankles.

Well goodbye to you to.

Yeah, especially when they don't take up the opportunity to reply back & see if one of the many kind people on this forum can help them!!!
 
Sounds like a "goodbye cruel world" statement...  well go on then, JUMP!  

I was intrigued by DP when they announced the Windows version, as MOTU is clearly trying hard to be a serious player in the DAW market.
 
But I imagine walking into their offices and seeing cubicle after cubicle with Macs. The only guy with a Windows PC is that one weirdo in the back who nobody ever invites to lunch, the one who's never tried to kick a hackysack in his life, hates granola and wears shoes to work. Oh, and you can be pretty sure he's not the guy who'll answer the phone when you call in with a Windows-specific question.

I never knew you were working for MOTU Bit.
