Good point John, so when I buy Sonar, I'll have to buy a physical copy I guess I ? No downloads?

The DVD purchase is an option but they actually recommend downloading the files. They are broken into a series of several file downloads but you will need a fast connection speed nontheless.

Sonar itself ain't that big (for these days, anyway). But Dimpro is a full disk by itself, as well as beatscape. The download doesn't include these samples, which is probably where the metronome sounds went. As well as the audio clips that come w/ sonar.

It takes a while to simply load all that into your computer - downloading it would double the time (at least!).

Well only if one thinks 4 double layer DVDs should have been included with the trial.

Yes. To keep the download size small(er) many addons are omitted.

You may also need to have your audio and midi settings configured differently. Once in, press P to open preferences.

I'm trying to set up the metronome for example, and under the audio settings there are supposed to be a range of sounds to use with the metronome, but none are there.

Sonar x1 has a tone of effects, but none are there?

Are these things missing because I'm using a demo version?

Thanks
