The mastering suite in S1 was one of the big surprises for me. I thought it was great idea. Think about it, create your song, record it all, mix it, and master it all in one program!!

And I like the ability to go directly from the mastering stage of a song to the mix of the song your working in, make adjustments and then go back to the mastering of said song,right where you left off with the changes you just made loaded up!

Great idea. And I wanted to like it. And I tried. But I like Sonar X better. No doubt.
