Speaking of Newbies... I've noticed as looking for other DAWs that people who have videos up about "My DAW" is the best choice always talk about the things wrong with the other guys daws but NEVER have I seen a video saying I use this daw because Sonar is bad! it's like crazy odd that all the other daws trash each other's daws. It's like there was a black out of Sonar. I wounder how many people running from ProTools or Cubase even new that Sonar existed. :(
All Cakewalk had to do was market Sonar! 
It makes me sick!
 
  

That's been my feeling ever since this fiasco began: Great software, terrible marketing.

Great post Alex.. perfect.. bet ya can't stay away  :) this place is a frigghn addiction for me. 
I have learned almost everything I know about Sonar here, I might have to find the help files now...
No wait,, they haven't been updated since x3... oh well. 
 
 

It would be terrible if this place closed, BUT I suspect there would then be mass join ups to Beyond Cakewalk and/or Plan B, and they would therefore gain the critical mass needed.

I tried to join beyond cakewalk,at 3.11pm here,only to get- Sorry, something went wrong verifying your account against a spammer database. Most likely the database couldn't be accessed. Please try again later.So i'll Please try again later.
 
Then i spent until 30 minutes ago writing a fairly complicated post including the whole of the digital worlds thang,and how I recently found a 4 track cassette machine connected to a decent 2 track cassette demo thing,that actually sounded way way better -mostly the playing obviously,but even the sound quality,using just my trusty EQ,and Orange Distortion,direct in,real left handed HONDO bass guitar (i wish i still had incredibly) and Whoa WAY better than my soundclod 1st take things!
 
I NEED THIS FORUM,as i'm not spending another cent on digital daw stuff(is 3k enough for wavy plugs?),when included in ALL the BOXED versions i bought were all better than GOOD ENOUGH,I Downloaded SPLAT-with lifetime updates OF COURSE-not a fanboy-i think i hate digital everything,that is until I NEED gloogle and THIS FORUM to find out things,oh and the post i spent until 40 minutes ago writing was so surprisingly DELETED by ? 
 
bob of BIG TIME never was

I actually quite enjoyed looking around the Cubase forum and asking a question or two. The great thing is there isn’t all the drivel to wade through. The signal to noise ratio is much lower. The mods seem helpful and their marketing manager, Matthias is very active.

I'm quite (pleasantly) surprised it's still here. Fully expecting an 'error 404' every time I click on the bookmark.

I have quite a few posts on this forum and have enjoyed helping others solve their problems.
I have learned so much from this forum as well as met great people here.
But this forum (not speaking for others) is holding me back from completing projects, doing more work where I'm supposed to be doing more work....  In the Workstation.
 
I spend a lot of free time here but that free time could be spent finishing projects that need completing.
Sure everyone needs a break from the DAW but I find myself coming here too often and I find myself being too concerned with other peoples opinions. Probably one of my least favorable quality's. That's my bad and that's my fault.
 
So I have decided to spend more time recently where I should. In my work.
I have a new DAW to learn. Even though im using Sonar still, im trying my best to slowly wean myself into to Studio one 3. There are a lot of little things to learn like shortcuts, features, exc.
That's why I have decided to stay using Sonar while cracking the surface of Studio one at the same time.
 
Sonar stopping development has been a blessing in disguise for me.
Though I miss Sonars new updates and I do feel awful for staff who lost their jobs.
I have this refreshed feeling of almost being forced to step outside my comfort zone to accomplish new things and explore new horizons. I actually sound like that Martin Landslide guy. How horrific. But its true.

Sorry to hear that. We were getting deluged with spammers and so we incorporated an spammer plugin (yes, forum software has plugins too).
 
If you send a PM (or to "bapu") I will set you up if you are still interested.

OK lets form a self help group Sonar Forum addiction Anonymous
 
Maybe Azslow3 could write a little app that every time we try to come here a warning pops up 
" DO YOUR REALLY NEED THAT FIX"  and we go back to work. 
I agree it's a dangerous distraction  but the payoff for me is almost everyday I read something that educates me about using Sonar and general stuff like the latest hardware and Windows issues. 
 
I can sort of get the same fix on Gear slutz but it is soo bogged down with useless and wrong information and Mac this , Pro Tools that. No, this forum is focused on Sonar and using a PC to make music.  
I would switch over to Bapu's forum right now but I'm not at all interested in taking about other DAW's right now. We all did that for a week or so and that's that. When this forum dies it looks like most of us will probably end up over there. Actually I will always think of Bapu as living in the basement? why is that? :) 
I can see this forum will just slowly fade away. One by one with not much to talk about we will wander off leaving a few folks who logged on for the first time in a year pondering what happened and " where did everybody go?" 
 
 I'm not predicting it will just shut down suddenly or a few months or even a year. Neil has said as so much. There was a hint of the month of June in all that none info.
