Surely people who use Sonar actually think it's the best option for their use and circumstances don't they? In exactly the same way as anyone who chooses a different DAW presumably does so because it's the best option for them.

I can't think of anyone who would do nothing but complain about how useless a program is for years on end and still carry on paying for upgrades can you?

I can think of several who fall into that category.....

So can I, now you come to mention it.

People who make posts like this actually don't make their living in music. You simply couldn't if you were this unwilling to work through problems. Your man's a keyboard warrior living in his mum's spare room, would bet my life on it.

+ 1 John except the bet my life part. He just might be an Accordion player with high knee socks.

I had a revelation!!

People who like Sonar X2 should use it. People who don't like it shouldn't use it.

Personally I think it should be the other way around. That way we can all be unhappy.

Thanks for starting my day with a laugh John!

Given that the original message is disabled, it feels like China;-) I restart the post.
Well, I did as Anniedog I bought Cubase 7 to its commercial release. And good for gossip and backbiters, Cubase 7 is not a ambrion is a true version, and it WORKS.

LOL No BUGS??
I think Cubase 7 look really cool but no problems?..There are numerous of problems reported even a list by Cubase TEAM themself even before it was released...Be aware of Confimed issues LIST!

Cubase 7 - Known Issues

This article provides information about last-minute issues currently present in Cubase 7. Please note that the same issues apply to Cubase Artist 7.
Details on our hardware in combination with Cubase 7 can be found here.

MixConsole

• Resize and persisting issues
  In some cases MixConsole does not restore its expected setup and proportions of elements within its different zones.
• Redraw issues
  In some cases, areas of MixConsole are not redrawn correctly. As a workaround please scale the faders (using G/H) or close and re-open the MixConsole window.
• Focus Navigation / Key Commands
  Due to a new focus and navigation concept in MixConsole, certain key commands may have no effect (e.g., Solo/Mute). Please note that either the Project window or the Fader section in the Mixer has focus and responds to key commands, but, e.g., not the Visibility/Zones section or the Channel Racks section.

Plug-ins

• Plug-ins using iLok v1 keys
  Plug-ins using iLok v1 keys may not be fully compatible with Cubase 7. If you experience difficulties when using an iLok v1 protected plug-in, please update to an iLok v2 key.
• Plug-ins from Audio Damage
  There are reports of malfunctions when using plug-ins from Audio Damage. These will be investigated and if possible resolved in an upcoming maintenance update.
• Old VST plug-ins
  Outdated VST plug-ins may render the application unresponsive. Please use only VST plug-ins which were built with VST SDK 2.4 or higher.

Other

• Hardware: switching the sample rate
  Under OS X 10.8 it is not possible to switch the sample rate. This issue occurs with all audio hardware interfaces, including the Steinberg CI, MR and UR series.
• Memory footprint
  Please note that the overall memory footprint of C7 has been slightly increased. In 32-bit mode, projects which work seamlessly in Cubase 6.5 may now fail in Cubase 7 due to low memory conditions. Please use the Cubase 64-bit version instead.
• Score printing
  On OS X systems the printout from scores show unwanted horizontal and vertical lines. There is currently no workaround but Steinberg is working on a solution.
• Chord Track
  Please note that if tracks are following the Chord Track in voicing mode the pitches of notes cannot be changed manually. Therefore if you change the pitch of a note in the Key Editor, it will immediately snap back to its position according to the voicing. In the VariAudio editor, you can move the pitches on your own but such changes are reverted when other edits are applied.
• Steinberg Hub
  The first time the Steinberg Hub appears it can take up to 20 seconds until the News list is populated with entries.
• Track Pictures
  Track Pictures can be displayed in the Track List of the Project window by right-clicking and selecting "Show Track Pictures". Please note that this is a global setting.

 
 
+ a whole section full of BUGS!!!

Hilarious! Just went over to the Cubase site and checked out the complaints. It's true, you could literally do a search and replace with X2 and C7 and post the results on this forum. What a hoot. The grass is brown on both sides of the fence.

I still want the ambrion version 

Buyer's remorse is natural! It doesn't matter what I buy or how well I research it, I always go through a period of regret that my purchase isn't as good as I imagined it would be, and that the "other" brand I'd considered would have been all sweetness and roses. When I comes to computer software, there is NO "perfect." Everything you buy is full of bugs, unless you're prepared to invest the kind of money it takes to develop things like missile defense systems and air traffic control. 

I believe the science of software engineering has a long way to go. And as long as processor-heavy apps have to be written in problem-fraught languages like C++, it will always be a messy business. 

So if ambrion means not born thus that mean it does not exist yet?

The original thread was closed because it was a train wreck and off topic. This thread is heading that way too.
