I think having it for several versions is a big help. Using any sonar version is almost auto-pilot for the work I do. It works and I appreciate that.

+1 Sonar is a great program. It will be even better when they get us better notation.

Yes this is why it doesn't bug me when some one talks about leaving. Sonar is a very easy DAW to use.

Well Done!

...I've recently done some work on anther DAW and I did enjoy it, especially once I got the workflow down.  I'm sure I'll be doing more work on it.  But coming back to Sonar makes me appreciate it even more...

 
Same here.
 
I just bought Studio One Pro, and Pro Tools 11 and I Am bummed that they don't have layers like my SONAR install.
 
 
 
 
 
I also learned that I will probably never, ever, try to use Audio Snap again.

I don't know what the story is between you and John, but the joke is wearing a bit thin.  Give it a rest, Bapu.
 
It's not big, and it certainly isn't clever.

It's just been insanely easy to do what I've needed. I got so into it today I even broke out my mic and guitar...neither of which have been out in over a year...what a great feeling. Just happy to report smooth sailing.

I have used every major DAW over the years, and Sonar is defintely the easiest to use IMHO...it's like an old-school tape deck, and very intuitive. I use it professionally, and it has always been rock solid. I think most of the chronic complainers on this forum have never tried using other DAW's on a professional level, because believe me, they all have their share of bugs (and yes, Mac's crash in front of clients too). The funny thing is, Sonar is so far ahead of the game when it comes to features that we all take for granted. For example, Logic Pro X just announced the ability to group tracks into folders LOL!! And Pro Tools 11 (which has an entry price of $700) now has offline rendering and 64bit support....now THAT is funny!! I use Logic as well for film scoring, but Sonar is my "meat and potatoes" DAW that I can always count on. You made an excellent choice!
 
 
 

I too am EXTREMELY pleased with Sonar, both for its functionality and for its stability.
 
Please note that I had made a deliberate choice to set up a system with lots and lots of memory and a fast CPU, AND that I deliberately stopped using 32-bit plugins in 64-bit Sonar.  With those 2 sets of changes, I literally have not had a single X2a crash.
 
I did install 32-bit X2a for when I need to do things with 32-bit plugins, and that too has run with zero crashes - I just keep my 32-bit and 64-bit effects and instruments associated with either a 32-bit or 64-bit installation of Sonar.
 
It just works, and does so every time I use it.

+1000 so very true.
