"Bottlenecking in the summing dept ?"
 
Don´t know why he is blaming Sonar ,
seems to be a behaviour of the "PT PRO"s, to bash Sonar.
 
You are paying respect for this man,
did he do this to Sonar and you ?
 
regards and cheers

Through my life I have used just about every DAW out there. Its a much smaller list of those I haven't used. I do think Sonar does have a sound. It is in the pro channel.. If one does not employ the PC there is no difference in the sound of Sonar and any other DAW if any said DAW is also not using plugins that alter the sound. I kind of like the "sound of Sonar".
 
I was watching the TV show Scorpion Monday when the "brilliant" leader of the group was recording on an old Radio Shack cassette recorder. He was questioned on his choice of gear. His answer was and I quote was " I get a better signal to noise ratio with analog gear". I kid you not!
 
Its hard sometimes understanding the thinking behind why people think the way they do.      




 
The ProChannel is nothing more than a set of effects though. If you enable the ProChannel but don't turn on any of the modules, there is absolutely no difference in the sound. If you could extract those PC modules as VST's and loaded them up into Cubase, it would sound exactly the same as enabling the modules in Sonar.

It's a pity his Facebook page is closed off for commenting to non friends, because I'd honestly love to go there and tell him how utterly deluded he is. I hate people spreading baseless myths like this. 
 
Can anyone remember a few years ago, some guy was complaining that the timing of 16th hi-hats programmed in Sonar's piano roll sounded too "sterile" to him, whereas in some other DAW (Cubase?) they had some kind of inherent groove that he preferred? I really don't know where people come up with this nonsense but it's certainly not from within the realm of objective reason.

I'm sorry, but all of you have it wrong.
 
"Cubase" has six letters.
"SONAR" has only five letters.
 
Think about it. Clearly, mixes done with only 5 letters instead of 6 will have lower resolution.

I suspect he is not using the correct cables for his particular setup and why his system has bottlenecks.

Bottleneck? Is that a technical term?

Sonar sounds like Sonar... but isn't that why we bought it? LOL!

I opened up my latest Sonar project in NOTEPAD.  It took 6 hours.  I did not see a single 1 or 0 out of place.

Every DAW has a bottleneck.
 
It's the person using it...
