2001: SOS went international and Cakewalk Software introduced their brand new DAW, Sonar. Who remembers this? #SOS30
 

Man, seems only yesterday.

That brings back so many memories!

I still have the Sonar 1.0 installation CD.  It's in the shoebox with all the other ancient programs I'll never use but can't seem to get rid of.  Things like Seersystems Reality and Kontakt 1.0, the CD with the two little holes on the underside that was supposed to discourage copying the disk.

Ohh i see colors, .... i remember that one

Nice GUI.. 

EDIT: Reminds me of Home studio 

Memories...
 
Version after version, Cakewalk had been gradually implementing many features I was hoping for into Pro Audio. But things were moving faster and faster, with Steinberg developing VSTi and offering effects automation and all, and Pro Audio was lagging behind...
 
When they introduced Sonar, it was like hitting jackpot. As much of a departure from Pro Audio as it was, there was absolutely no looking back, not a moment of hesitation.

I still have the box, cd and manual. I bought it because Logic wouldn't play well with my PC.

I wish I had boxes/discs for X3 & S-Plat ...
