Wow!  Sonar's SV features are light years away from what Cubase can offer!!

Now I finally realize that Sonar may/will NEVER have these same features :(

DARNIT! I thought this thread had finally died.

Have fun with your new dongle !!

Just checking to see if X2 improved the staff and lyrics view. After Sonar 8 destroyed my university assignment with the lyrics/clip bug (*) I vowed not to spend another cent (yen actually) until they fixed it. So it looks like I won't be buying X2 either.

I really don't understand people like the above who try to argue against any improvements in notation or try to defend Cakewalk. There are dozens of features I never use but never comment on, I'm not interested in the latest Analogue Tube Warming Exciter FET Compressor Buss Channel (TM) but if that floats your boat then great - I'm sure your killer synth track will sound so much better with preset 3. And X2 has the Advanced Arpeggiator! Not even Kraftwerk had that!

Perhaps notation invokes some sort tall poppy syndrome, but to those of us who have been using notation since we were children, it's simply the language of music.

For my needs Sonar notation comes so close, all I want to do is print out a rough lead sheet and it can't even do that properly.


* the introduction of clips broke the lyrics view, it's never been fixed or documented, and the simple work around of keeping the track as one clip never mentioned.

You obviously got me wrong and are believing the negative hype the supporters of notation are spewing about me.

I am not against improvements to notation...why would I be ??

I just don't care about it because it's not a priority for me.

I've printed out a sample score with lyrics to check the system. It worked fine but what am I going to do with the score I printed out ?? Blow my nose with it ??

I'm not going to boycott Cakewalk.

I'm not going to threaten Cakewalk.

I'm not going to run crying to Cubase.

I'm planning on buying X2 as soon as it becomes available because I like the many other features that X2 has.

My world doesn't revolve around notation.

If I want to enter in notes to my music, I'll simply just use my midi keyboard.

You seem confused 

"Sonar works well for me and my needs. I don't need notation and I don't want to be forced into paying for it or the developement of it."

"I don't need notation and I don't want to be forced into paying for it or the developement of it. "

You certainly put a lot of effort into not caring.

Give it to a musician, he'll know what to do with it.

I'm not a psychologist but you may suffer from paranoia; you think that people are talking about you when they aren't, and you think that your opinions are more important than they really are.

I'm not confused.
 

I put a lot of effort into defending myself against negative propaganda.
 

I'm not currently working with other musicians.


My opinion means very little compared to the hundreds of other Cakewalk users. Why do you feel so threatened ??

I think what we have here is a case of cubase salesmen trashing X1 to help cubase sales.

^^  Couple thoughts:

1) Not opposed, but could care less. Why keep coming back?  Plain weird.

2) Most people commenting here are very long time Cakewalk/SONAR users. Comment #188 is quite out of place.

mmmm....methinks some doth protest too much.

DJ...if you really do not care then why go on a stump about it?
