@Jim I don't know if you remember me - I sent you some pages on gear that Mike Rutherford used to use, for the Lamb days.
 
Anyways, my offer stands, if you ever need any midi tracking for keys for any Genesis stuff.

The poll had a total of 163 respondents.
What does that tell ya?
I'm going with "not much".

 
You answered your own question incorrectly. A survey with 163 respondents, especially when drawn from such a specific group of product users, tells plenty and is quite accurate.
 
During decades in broadcasting and advertising, I have personally headed multiple research projects. 100 respondents is a totally respectable sample size for any study that requires the input of specific product users and not the general public. 163 is even more reliable. The UAD survey was set up so no one could vote twice, and since it was not plugged here on the Sonar forum, it's quite unlikely that the Sonar ranking was hyped.
 
No survey is perfect, but the one in question is about as accurate as possible.

The poll says "Which DAW(s) Do You Use?" and the Sonar in the list doesn't say "X2" so it's possible that some of them still use v8.5 or earlier, no?

For sure. And some of the Cubase users could be using version 5, etc.
 
I'm not saying the UAD Forum survey is the absolute gospel truth, but it is an indicator of UAD users' favorite DAW's. It's not an endorsement of X2 specifically, but with Sonar in general ranking #4, that's a respectable showing for the brand. (Again, only 4 systems showed up with double-digit per centages; everyone else was lumped below that.)
 
Those who continually worry on this forum that Roland might abandon Sonar should realize that no company that owns this size of market share would ever discontinue such a product. Also, since Sonar is jam-packed with plug-ins, I would guess that it ranks even better with people who haven't invested in UAD cards and plug-ins.

Running a small poll seems pointless for Universal Audio.  It already has this info, i.e. what DAW do we use, for each of its many thousands of registered users.

When I see threads like the one on KVR, I can't help but think every minute spent debating the efficacy of a DAW in an online forum is one less minute spent making music.
 

You nailed it Craig!

So after what's been going on here for almost a year what you're "just sayin'" is like a fart in a tornado.

Well, he did say "just sayin"
 
But it is kind of interesting to read the responses. The thing of it is that there was barely any mention of the one DAW that some just love to poke in there as the cover-all-bases  DAW...R*****r. 
 
DAW wars ...gotta love 'em

But some see it as a means of gaining converts!!
