Sorry to say, but i am a hardware musician looking to move to a DAW and all i see in this forum is nothing but problems problems problems with Sonar7 not to mention Vista.
how dare cakewalk advertise S7 as the ducks nuts and 64bit and all that crap when it is far from being stable and efficient.
Over on the Mac side of things, LogicPro8 has just been released and it is 99% stable and bug free "ON RELEASE" and the new Leopard OS will be released this friday and it will give no such problems as Vista does, plus it will actually give a 35% increase in performance because Leopard has been totally optimised for intel multicore processors and it runs 32bit and 64bit applications simultaneously without any need for a so called bit bridge that cakewalk uses.
I would have loved to jump on board with Sonar7 because it looked like a very good DAW with all its new plugs etc but Logic Pro8 has just lowered its price from $999 to $499 which makes it irresistable esspecially when i know the Mac platform and OS is so elegant and stable and i don't have to make adjustments to the OS to get it working efficiently because it automatically optimises itself when you open Logic Pro, and also i don't have to worry about other issues like drivers, bios, and certain obscure settings, but rather just load up and go.by the time LogicPro has its first update it will be100% bug free or as close as you could expect from any DAW.
There is just too many problems and inconsistencies going on with the PC and vista and Sonar for me to even consider hoping on board.
This is mainly cakewalks fault as they have the programmers and resourses to deal with this but alas what a mess they leave us in and they are so slow to do anything about it or come forth and admit things and openly discuss it.
the only plugs that i would like to have in Logic when i buy it, is the V-vocal and the full version of the Rapture synth,well V-vocal is Sonar only so i miss out there but rapture is available as an audio unit for Mac so i will definitely get that, otherwise Logic Pro has more than i need to get the job done, as well as it's included mastering plugs which are truly world class and have been redesigned for the Pro8 version.

The PC side of things from what i can see is nothing but hassles and i would rather be making music than trying to sort out UNECCESSARY problems all day long.
nothing against you guys as i just want you to know that i wanted to join the SONAR crew(as in you lot) but cakewalk can't seem to get their **** sorted out and thats simply not good enough...

Dude I totally agree! Sonar just completely blows, man! Hey, when you pick up your new G5 and the 32" cinema display, you're going to need kick arse monitoring. Right around the corner at the mall, there's a BOSE store. Now that's some serious monitoring, fella, let me tell you! Who needs JBL, KRK, or whatever... just go get yosef an Acoustimass system and you'll be good to go!

Logic, Apple, Bose... all in one room, run by a serious professional. It just don't get no better than that.

I am very proud to say I don't have any Apple products what so ever. I don't have QTime I use a free non Apple QT clone for example.

I will never own an Ipod or anything that Apple has anything to do with. I don't hate Apple just don't like the idea of Apple.
I am also not much of a fan of the people that seem to like Apple. Not because they use it but they use it to bash everyone else.

I do like that Apple exists so that MS will feel a little competition. Out side of that I have no use for Apple.

ad infinitum

I am more than satisfied with the performances and the innovations of Sonar7, under Vista32.

Bonne chance!

In Scotland a jobbie is a slang term for effluent.

I rest my case.

I've got Sonar 7 running on my PC and Blakes 7 running on my Mac (UK joke)

This is the part of his post that proves the six million dollar man is just a troll. There are far more positive comments and threads about Sonar than there are complaints in this forum.

Yes, it's magical. Magically delicious. It's like a frosty breakfast cereal. With a toy surprise inside.

One cleaning bill winging it's way to you sir. Coffee and saliva all over the keyboard.

Cheers. I recommend disconnecting the keyboard, unscrewing the casing, and thoroughly rinsing the rubbery flap that the keys sit on. Perhaps consider one of these for future forum browsing:

and I don't have a blog for my ballet troupe either.

Yeah Mike, I noticed that. I've seen you guys perform several times, but when I miss a performance, I keep looking for pics of you putting on your pointed shoes on my iPhone. I think you guys really need to get your tutus in gear and catch up with all the cool people. Heck, you could have done a commercial sitting on a black backdrop and looking oh so Greenwich-Village-worldly-artist by now.
