• SONAR
  • Since the collapse of Cakewalk I have been really enjoying Sonar. Is that psychological?

I believe that these forums haven't been this popular (or busy) for a long time.
It's possible that many members have been enjoying the social, collective, and emotional aspect of things recently, plus they might not have appreciated just how popular Sonar was.
That, in turn, might empower one to explore Sonar some more.
 
A few people have also been trying other DAWs recently, only again to further appreciate just how complete Sonar is.
It would be interesting to get the opinions of hobbyists (like me), and pros who use Sonar for a living.
2 songs a day is good.

Yep , I´m enjoying to work with Sonar now even more than before.
Sure this is also a psychological theme, but what is not a psychological theme ?
 
Getting more and more aware what an intuitiv workflow Sonar has
and how easy it´s for me , to work with Splat
 
It will be not easy to replace it one day.....

Well what I can say is that I've been demoing a number of other DAWs during this time - S1, Reaper, Mixbus, Live, now Samplitude... figuring out how things work and kind of trying to imagine working in them... and then I pop open Sonar and go Aaaaah, right, *this* is how I actually want to work. Which is kind of a complicated feeling to have under the circumstances.

Great thread.
I have been enjoying sonar in this way for at least a year. Maybe 2.
The stability and performance have made it truly enjoyable to use.
I am not looking into other DAWs at this time because I think it's premature. It doesn't make sense for such a successful product to be utterly abandoned.
I use sonar professionally in three capacities- as a teacher, it's an essential tool in my music classroom. As an engineer at The Gradwell House Studios, it's my DAW, and as the president of BlixYZ Records, it's the platform through which most, if not all of our releases are built.
I have used Reaper, and I have taught garage band and Logic at the Settlement School of music. I'm not afraid to switch to another DAW.
But I'm not going to until it's clear that that is necessary.

The search for alternatives has brought it home to me just how advanced and complete Sonar is.
 
A sobering realization.

What I’ve been finding too. But I think it’s more than Sonars competence as a DAW.

I think we have a unique bond with this forum which in turn is heightened very time we work with the Software.

Because music is generally an emotion charged art form it’s not a big stretch to see how our emotions are triggered on the forum and relived as we then become creative using Sonar.

Or some such babble.
