Too easy.

Mac haters ? No. Dork haters ? I think so.

Uh, what did I ever say to you to provoke this smart-ass equation? I'm a Sonar 7 user, and aside for about 6 months where I tried a few Mac DAWS, I have been a Sonar user since 2.2. I'm not sure why you would equate me with a fellow who porports to not having used any DAW. I'm certainly not biased about which is better and if that's what led you to this response I would suggest that you take a couple deep breaths and get some objective perspective on the matter at hand. Any DAW is a tool that allows us to get our musical ideas out into the world. Whichever one does it better for that person is the best one to use. There is no absolute best sequencer (although I can think of a few that I find terribly archaic..cough..Digital Performer...cough).

I didn't mean to insinuate that every here was wrong for their comments, I just thought we're above petty "don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out" responses. It seems obvious form his posts that he's a Mac fan although my only question is why not hang around the Logic forum and find more about that or the Steinbergh forum and investigate that DAW as opposed to a Cakewalk forum where you know there's no direct Mac support (aside from Parallels/Boot Camp running Windows XP).

Anyhow, if you see me as a dork, I guess I cannot do anything about that. I think you're wrong but whatever. I'm sure you wouldn't conduct yourself this way if this was a live forum where everyone was in a big room face-to-face. Gotta love the internet huh? It allows people to grow balls they thought they never had and hide under the tough shell of anonymity.

Fair enough, probably you were just similar enough to the others, sorry for tarring you with the same brush.

I agree, I am not anti MAC nor anti any other DAW, but its just frustrating when people feel the need to come into the forum and spout crap. I don't go into the Logic forum and tell them how wonderful Sonar is !

I think the other frustration is that a lot of MAC disciples are so fervent that they generally suggest that you must be ****ed or somehow a lesser human being if you foolishly continue to use a PC, which also gets peoples backs up.

I guess you got caught in the crossfire, which is a shame.

Dave, I understand what you're saying, but in "steve austin's" case your insightful suggestions are fruitless... just look at his post history. Constantly selling Logic on the Mac. Why? If they were meaningful, objective comparisons of features and stability that'd be one thing, but all I see is "the Mac is so stable and streamlined and HASSLE FREE"... What the hell does that even mean? He's talkin' out his @ss for some reason, but I can guarantee you it's not for the purpose of constructive debate or problem solving. Hell, even another pointless "I'd really like to see SONAR ported to Mac" thread would be more constructive than the junk he throws out there... Ever see somebody fertilize a garden with animal feces? That's what "steve's" first and second post was like. Just sprinklin' on the crap.

Anyhow, if you see me as a dork, I guess I cannot do anything about that.

I think you just jumped to the defense of the wrong person, unwittingly, and you're guilty by association in the eyes of some. That's my gut feeling anyway. I also think Rev. Jim was being a little toungue-in-cheek with his comment, hence the smileys...

He's had more "Last Posts" than the British Army

Good Boy

My inspiration does not come from any particular DAW. It is just good that I happen to like the Canvass that I draw on. I have written some good songs in Cubase, some in Sonar and I am sure if I did not like a particular DAW then I am sure that would not stop my creativity.

Infact, to be quite honest. put any DAW infront of me and I am sure, in time I would get used to it.

I am quite happy with what I have now, and If I see Cubase going anywhere for a discounted price or Bundled I would use it. If Logic made a resurgence on the pc, then I would investigate it.

Because, it is all about the music at the end of the day!

If Steve wants to go, I will open the door for him and pat him on the back and wish him the best with his new DAW; whether or not his DAW of choice is invisible or not!

although I am a bronze, silver or gold member. I only come here to have a laugh and learn more about what I have; although I do not use PE. I still learn alot from coming into these forums. I have been using Sonar products for ten months. I am developing quite well with it. No one in the forum can stop me from using a product that I chose to buy with my money.

I find it funn that some would even try!

What everyone else said: Bye!

Judging by this post and many of your former posts, you've got an obvious personal incentive with mac. But, unless you're just totally blind and ignorant, your platform attacks seem to have an opposite than intended effect.

But you'll always catch more ants with honey than with vinegar, and vinegar can definitely be a good wine gone bad.

their head up their backside

Speaking of which. I have my INeeds to be taking care of. Lets meet in the usual place.

What a joke, you guys have too much time on your hands.

I use them all and tell it like it is ... sorry if its not what you wanted to hear.
