Have you seen Steven Slate's touch screen controller. Pretty sick!

The pictures shows ProTools and Slate's own fader setup, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with Sonar

I just have to say I'm very excited about this! I've been using Windows 8 since it was in preview and recently got a Windows Surface. Obviously the Surface is running Windows RT and doesn't support x86 application but after just a little time using it I can already tell that keyboard/mouse/touch integration is going to be fantastic.

Any chance that Cakewalk may be working on a version of Sonar that would be compatible with some of the ARM devices? The matrix view on a tablet would really make Sonar my goto app for playing live music.

What about this project? The BendDesk:

It could have been fun messing around with Sonar on that device...

Hi all, 23"10 point  touch monitor, installed, Windows 8 Installed, Update X2a installed.
Had 2 weeks with this now. And with a mixture of keyboard, mouse and screen i love it. Having said that it took a while getting use to not using a mouse or reaching out for a fader. With a few more weeks practice and learning keyboard short cuts this will be a great system. I will be upgrading to a larger screen toward the back end of this year to at least a 27" and an upgrade to the PC.
To think only just befor Christmas I was considering a V700 system. In my opinion almost as good, however a fraction of the cost. I am shure with a few more upgrades to sonar and the improvement of touch technology a system like this will be better than a V700.
Many thans to the hard working Cakewalk guys, great job.  :)

With the specs of these laptops shown by hp, how much can you really do with them, and what other laptops have these capabilities?

Screen rez is pretty much tied to the HD TV standard of 1920x1080.  Hard to find much beyond that in any size...

Yep, this is true for right now. However, there were 20" 4k touch monitors at CES earlier this month and I've heard of other 4k touch prototypes floating around, so it won't be too long before we see higher res touch monitors on various sizes on the market.

This new wireless touch monitor would be great for controlling Sonar while doing vocal or guitar takes.

This is so cool for so many reasons. I think WiDi (wireless video) is going to open up a whole new level of creativity in the home and the workplace. For SONAR, yah, this would be awesome in a vocal booth or really anywhere.

Hi All
I have found a couple of 10 point touch monitors here in the UK that seem as they could do the job and not to expencive. Both are Acer modles with good rewiews, Acer T272HL 27" at around £700.00 and a smaller version Acer T232HL 23"  at around £400.00.
I am going to try the 23" and if its comfortable i will eventualy upgrade the whole system to an all in one PC and monitor combined running Windows 8 on a 27 inch monitir or lagrger, that is once i get stable drivers for my hardware and we have a couple of updates to Sonar.
Hope you all have a happy new year. 
 

I just used the Acer 27" touch monitor for a week at NAMM and it was pretty nice. The only downside is that it slide down to only 80 degrees and not 90 like the Planar and others. Its screen is nice, though, and the picture quality and off angle viewing is much better than the Planar, fwiw.

Zeth, thanks for your hands on review. That's what we really need here is a user that's making the switch and how it's going for that user. And also to you Seth for your opinions after using these things a while!
