You never know John, things may have changed since the last time. I doubt it, but how can we know for sure without another debate

No we know, its the same question. Besides shouldn't God know which DAW to use? Then does God even need a DAW?

Just asking.

im not sure how to take this thread,i thought he had moved on to mixcraft.
but then again i was also under the impression he owned sonar and thats why he was so upset.
im very confused,i can only hope he uses this forum to his advantage because there are a lot of good people here when your not yelling at them.

more importanty,there are a lot of smart people here,when you need an answer and need it fast,i dont know of any other forum on the net that produces answers faster than this forum.

its as important as the smart tool.
matter of fact,sonar should have a forum tool inside sonar,CNTR+SHIFT+F takes you right to the forum 8)

Recently I was asked to collaborate on a project using Cubase 7 so I purchased it and have learned enough about it to be mildly functional (or perhaps not totally dysfunctional). I didn't find it difficult at all, it just took some time to find out "where they put everything". I actually like the "look" of Q better than X2...but I like the integration of X2 better (the Multidock is the BOMB in my opinion).

One thing the Q doesn't have is this forum...and this forum seems to be unique in that there is a thriving community of users trying to honestly help one another (for the most part). I don't really get that feeling when I check into the other forums.

OP: I'd go with what you know and love: MixCraft.

So I learned to use Reaper and I can't belive they chose that over Sonar. 

Actually Reaper I think is a great DAW.  I think the biggest drawback to Reaper is that it just looks dated. I've heard that it's MIDI support is lacking compared to other DAWs but I never attempted to do anything MIDI in Reaper so I honestly have nothing to base that on other than hearsay.  I was using Reaper before coming to Sonar, the only reason I purchased Sonar was because ( and this is superficial ) I really liked the user interface. It looked modern, sharp, it just looked cool and exiting in comparison. 


Now mind you, I am NO professional. I'm a single guitarist who wants to record his music. In fact, Sonar may be overkill for "me" personally.

Hi all,i don't wanna enter in technics stuff but i can say one thing,Cubase 7 is really........ugly!!!
Best

It looked strange to me which was why I didn't go there and chose Sonar.

Just yesterday I was hit by just how beautiful X2 looks. The clarity, the detail, the real-machine reality, I love it.

The only part I'm not thrilled about is the tracks/lanes being more or less awful shades of grey, but the rest is awesome.

im still in awe over the gui in x2,if you open x1 then open x2,you just go wow.
the improvements are nice.
but i too would like control over colorizing,
my only fear is i will spen less time creating artwork with sonar then i will music..lol

I have to agree with you Paul. It grows on you. The points you make are true. At this time I have no desire to change the looks of X2. I know that is sacrilege but I like it just the way it is.  

@RedBarchetta - Ok, so if you had to choose Reaper or Sonar, which one would it be?   :)  just sayin.......
