Since CWPA 6 it has done what I needed it to do-Pretty simple but true!

ProChannel.

Two reasons: 1-I used Sonar/Cakewalk for MIDI sequencing for a long time and a Roland VS-1680 for recording, so X1 with a V-Studio 700 was a gentle learning curve. 2-The plug-ins and instruments bundled with Sonar make it an exceptional value. On the negative side, I personally do not have a stable installation but I think my rig was set-up wrong initially.

Because an older boy said I had to.

I love it,everything i need is in the software and it works better than some of other top software packages you can buy.once you've learned the software it is a breeze to use. take time to learn the software........

I did not!

For my needs of musical composition . . . I've seen no other software in the DAW world that does it better.
For mixing and mastering, I think Sonar has made some major leaps with X1, to begin to compete in these categories as well.

Despite anything else (the time from X1 to X1C), it's the one DAW I come back to - It isn't perfect by a long stretch, but none are.

Because its cool and it keep getting cooler.

Because It/They keep us guessing.
