I normally read his posts and sometimes I even think I understand the meaning (at least partially).
But just imagine you are working as phone support and he is calling...

There were some comments about how using Codeweavers was misleading, but my understanding is that the concept of starting off with translation and then replacing parts of the code until the program is fully native is fairly common. (IIRC that's what's happening with FL Studio's Mac version.)
 
 

Yeah, that's what I was hoping to have understood. I wouldn't have expected the solution was to keep it an emulation for the most part, but I've seen that happen before in another industry and it was a colossal failure. Macs in general, unless you get the Apple wastebasket are not the best performing machines. Thanks for the clarification.

I think it was misleading by omission.  Saying that this was the 'real deal' 'Sonar running on a Mac' 'and not using any Bootcamp Trick' leads you to believe it's native.

 
Well, if Cakewalk had continued down this path, eventually (accent on "eventually") it would have become more and more native. So calling it an emulation or calling it native would be equally incorrect.
 
Kind of reminds me of Vista in a way. Microsoft kept doing updates to it and after a while, it essentially became Windows 7 even though it still said it was Vista.
 
It's also important to note that this is not the same world as trying to emulate Windows Intel on a Mac PPC machine. The Intel-to-Intel element makes life easier.
 

Why would somebody want an emulation when they could have Sonar with Bootcamp that performs much better? 

 
To be able to access the Mac parts of the computer (files etc.). Bootcamp turns your Mac into a PC, so anything that's "pure Mac" doesn't exist. Also again if Cakewalk had pursued this, it would have become more native over time, whereas that wouldn't happen under bootcamp.

I thought people had finally quit taking those kinda drugs back in the 70's.
 
(Do you share?)

Show of hands: How many have actually downloaded and tried the Mac version? I sure like it more than GarageBand...

I am happy with the decision.  I also want to tell the developers - good job in trying.

My guess is not too many people are interested in it after hearing that it's Sonar Home Studio and a "Windows-to-Mac translator" version and that the "prototype" is the "end of the line for SONAR on the Mac" which I understand means no further development. So what's the point really? My interest was initially sparked by the idea of being able to natively run Sonar on Mac to open 15 years or so of Sonar projects rather than having to export the Sonar projects as OMF. But in reality Sonar would have to up it's game considerably for me to be interested. There are so many things in Logic that work good where Sonar just had some problems. In all fairness to Cakewalk the last version I used was Sonar 7. But I do check out Cakewalk to see what they've been up to.
 
As far as comparing it to GarageBand it's really not a comparison when GarageBand runs on iOS very nicely. I've completed many songs just using an iPhone. And these songs open up in either GarageBand or Logic on Mac. Not sure about the Sonar Home Studio for Mac prototype, but GarageBand offers a pretty extensive library of plugins and instruments.

I downloaded and tried it, but it wouldn't run on my Mac. It errors out as damaged or incomplete.
