CJ they work well with X1? I read about some driver issue but I think they resolved it. VS700 is out. Way to expensive for a controller and I don't like the idea that it can't be used for any other DAW.

You asked what controller is best for SONAR.  You didn't ask what was the best controller for X1 that you could also use w/ other daws or within a price range.

Sorry.  Having used the vs700 for a while I can say it fits SONAR like a glove, which it should.  Even over a short period available I got fast w/ it, almost like using an analog desk w/ every knob having a distinct job.  Much better than some hobbled-together system where you are having to think before you reach, then think again before touching.

  Yea I can understand that, if I had the extra loot for it I'd jump right in because the idea of it being made specifically for sonar is of course nice but ya know

I think you will find that it will work with most DAW software it is just better integrated with SONAR.

The Mackie Control is excellent!

Because the VS-700 is designed to work with Sonar, you will be able to do more on the console and spend less time clicking the mouse on the screen. Not saying it's the only way to go, but it is really good and consolidates controller, interface, and software.

Thought you first meant a keyboard controller but yeah the VS-700 is the Sonar controller that everyone here on this forum would love to have if they had $2500 to spare. It's a marriage of hardware and software similar to Maschine and its software.
