All that software was useless - how much for computers?
 
But Cakewalk thanks you.  As should every SONAR user since you've done a yeoman job keeping the price lower for everyone who buys.
 
Thanks, bapu.

how much have you spent on 2" tape?  phew...

I never had 2" tape. I only ever owned a TASCAM 80-8 (8 tracks on 1/2 tape). 

$1200 is what I paid for my 3340 4-track tape recorder. Times have definitely changed!

I too had a 3340 4 track ($1200).  Then bought a Fostex B16 1/2 inch ($5000)....and an Otari MX5050 1/4 inch 2 track mixdown machine ($1800)...A Mackie 32x8 console ($4500).....then and Alesis black face ADAT ($2500) + BRC ($1500)....a Tascam D30 DAT recorder ($1200)....then an Alesis HD24 ($1600), which I still use.....and the list goes on and on....

Yes, I think we all have something similar to guitar players with GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome). Maybe SAS (Sonar Acquisition Syndrome). Jajaja 
 
Anyway, I might spend more in burgers and and junk food than into this wonderful software!

I started out with Pro Audio 4 and I have since upgraded/purchased PA5,6,7,8,9,SONAR XL, SONAR 3,4,5,6,7,8,8.5,X1 and X2.
(note, somehow I skipped SONAR 2).
 
Fortunately, I was really only charged $149 for X3.
 

But please tell us how much you earn using Sonar softs!

About 10 years ago I added up how much I had invested in my home studio and instruments and it was around $25,000. I have added a little more since then but not much.
 
I wish Sonar X3 would have been available 20 years ago, it would have saved me a fortune.

I'm a hobbyist.

I'm pretty sure XL was Sonar 2.

That's great Craig - but did you have to spend my money as well?
 
Your "Electronic projects for musicians" probably was a large part of the reason I went this route in the mid-late seventies. If it wasn't for that book I would probably have been one of those guys that plays in a couple of bands in their youth and more or less forgets about it. And then I had to make the addiction worse with "Home recording for musicians" that pushed me into buying a Tascam Portastudio, back then it was definitely well above $1000 here in Sweden.
 
First software sequencer Voyetra Sequencer+, then over to TTS Cakewalk 2.0 and stayed with them ever since. A few version gaps when family and work was taking too much space.

I got that "home recording for musicians" too. I remember that while reading it I was shocked to find out that we were doing most of the stuff right.
 
Ran cakewalk sequencer on a 286 with 14" monochrome monitor. It controlled Roland  MT32 synth and Yamaha DX7, chasing a sync track on the tape.
 
The reason I got Cakewalk was that  Voyetra wouldn't work with the hardware. I've been through many upgrades. Its always been fun for me. The money spent on the studio saved me from wicked wimmin and drugs. ;)
 
I still have my Tascam 32 and 38 matched tape machines, along with a 16 channel mixer and an 8 channel sub-mixer. All built in to a beautiful 10 foot long angled recording desk.
When I went digital (currently on my 6th computer and I/O upgrade) I put a big sheet of gold plexi over the whole desk, and the new control surfaces, keyboards, etc. sit on that.
You can still see the old stuff through the crinkly plexi, thus preserving the mojo.
