I find this post quite amusing, especially as someone who is about to enter the world of PC-based recording and mixing for the first time. I won't have Sonar in-hand and in my macine for about another week, yet everything I read about Cakewalk Producer 7 is good. I plan on integrating it with a stand-alone recorder I have been using for the past year (a Boss BR1600CD).
I might be new here, but I have been around music for 40-plus years, and have learned that even old dogs like me should be willing to give new things a try. I expect a learning curve and I'm sure I'll be driving y'all nuts with my questions, but I believe Sonar Producer is going to open up a whole new avenue of possibilities. Do I expect to hit some problems? Heck yeah ... but I have a feeling most of those will be operator error, not system errors -- and won't be anything that can't be fixed.
This guy seems to be blowing his cookies before even getting it up. Too bad. Sounds like it all boils down to the difference between MAC fans and PC fans. It's like the age-old Ford and Chevy thing. You either like one or the other, and the "other" is religated to being something lesser than the one they favor.
Anyway, glad to be aboard. I hope to learn a lot from this site and you guys.
