everyone is different but be prepared,
my old guitar player called me last weekend asking me me about x2 and how I like it,
he had just bought Cubase 7 and didn't like it, wants to move to something else.
he said that has bugs, go figure.
he downloaded the sonar 30 day trial.
to be fair, I haven't heard back from him yet, so im not about to say,.he loves x2.
I don't know yet.
but the story goes, grass always look greener on someone else's lawn.
just like after 10 years of marriage, the eye will wonder.
don't mean you want it, just means it looks better on the outside.
my advise is go try it.
spend your money and go try it, see what you think
you may like it. you may not.
my experience has been ive enjoyed features on other daws and said, wow this is awesome.
but when I go to grab a simple tool ive used for years in sonar, its not there.
so its a trade off.
also be prepared to be sitting there in 3 years complaining about your new daw.
its a fact of life. ive done it too.
but ive settled in with sonar and im finding it productive.
sure there's still times now I find something that terribly annoys the snot out of me.
but you know what, I expect it. I use my daw 5-7 hours a day from 6am -3pm.
I expect to see things in the hours I use it.
but im never stopped in my tracks, sonar is not unsable as some claim.
when I get to the point or if it comes the day I find sonar not being productive, you wont even hear from me anymore, ill be gone to a new daw,
no goodbyes here. just later !
