I wish it were that simple. 

So instead you'd rather fight and lose with a project that simply won't work (for whatever reasons) in SONAR and NEVER get it done in another DAW?
 
Carry on my wayward son.

Bollocks.

He would again recommend looking at Cubase if you intend on massive MIDI orchestrations.
 

Not sure what your definition of massive is, but Lasse did a pretty large scale MIDI orchestration, IMO, for Nergal in SONAR using multiple instances of East West's Play Engine.

I'm still wondering why you intentionally derailed a thread in order to pick an argument.

Also, I'm not sure you understand plain English.

lol... okay that was mildly amusing...
 
but yeah, Bitwig really does sound like a better option than CB for that style (and it certainly seems to be geared heavily to midi/sound automation/sculpting... which I think is the entire point of the platform... which of course is fascinating to me but not really what I do thus not worth any of time and defs not my non existent monies).
 
HOWEVER it's a new-ish app (and by DAW terms essentially a zygote) so although I appreciate the sentiment that there is not legacy "bloat" (old clunky code/bugs/etc clogging up the works) there is something to be said for product maturity in the software world.
 
If the Bitwig dooders have kept the code clean and everything humming along these past... what, 3-4 years since its release?... great. If it is like any other program ever though I'm predicting some growing pains.
 
I would be interested to hear about any BW adventures. It does look like a pretty spiffy tool.

Oh yeah there are still bugs and things which need to be added. But nothing show stopping like in Sonar. 
 
I mean I'm used to working around minor bugs. And for a long time when beta testing, I used the beta versions of the program (which have worse performance because they're in "debug mode" and throw asserts you have to report etc) - so I'm not exactly totally anal about everything being perfect. 
 
But plugins not saving their settings......NOPE lol!
