just curious because some reports here losing project due to corrupted files
ended up with client canceling the order and suing them for not keeping the deadline etc etc.
kc2ine: who is this user you refer too. that got legal papers
I was wondering that too. It's a new one on me, I have to say, and I've been hanging around here to an unhealthy degree lately. I'd be surprised if something this dramatic had happened anywhere other than the poster's imagination and I'd missed, though I allow this is possible. Obviously a link to the thread in question will put this one to bed.
Breath un-held.
Kind of wonder this myself...as it is I highly doubt that there will be any answer forthcoming on this latest escapade.

.... I think there was a transition period when pros needed to keep 8.5.3 running while any bugs were worked out and while they learned their way around X1 but other than that... there is no reason for X1 to not be working comercially if you are willing to do whatever you have to do... that is the way business works. You cannot tell a customer that you wil "try"... you have to be able to tell a customer that you "will", and if there is some reason you can't then that is what CS and money is for... it is called investment, you make it, go in the hole, then you come back out because you do whatever is necessary to please the customer.

My feelings exactly. It is truly unfortunate if this has happened to you, but anyone who's put himself in this position should not be running a business -- at least one centered around a software application.

Any success story? has anybody earned million dollars finishing lucrative project on time with
X1?
Well I would wonder why so many inane comments and questions from this user ?.
Is it just trying to make small talk ?, trolling ? - I just don't get it.
Maybe I'm missing something or having an extended stupid session, but to me I'm seeing inane questions
one after the other.
Here's the obvious answer to the million dollar question - I doubt anyone made a million finishing a project
in X1 or any other DAW - but you know that so why did you ask ?.
The other part, no problems here with corrupted projects, so no change at all in earnings due to X1 or anything else.
Anything else ?.
I don't think this thread needs to be taken very seriously. The poster has circled around X1 like a cat around a pot of hot porridge creating several threads that are a little odd. If he's for real, a troll or something else, I don't know for sure. http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=2378804 I think he's just a normal forumite.

The guy should have been sued for not keeping versioned backups. Breaking news!! Corrupted files are possible with any file created by any program on any platform, and anyone who doesn't prepare for that eventuality doesn't deserve to be called a professional. Trust me, it doesn't require genius-level brainpower to back up your files. And now I will give you a Great Secret Computer Tip known only to brilliant computer veterans such as myself! Many programs - maybe even Sonar! - include a function called "Save As."
Well hey, a serious question deserves a serious answer.

I'm already working on my second million using Sonar.
The first million was a disaster though :O)

Well, this summer I recorded for the Power Chord Academy in San Diego and Los Angeles (a rock n roll camp for kids ages 12-18) and Day Jams in San Diego (another rock n roll camp, but a day camp only ages 8-15).
I then signed a recording contract for the band Liquid Blue in Encinitas, CA (San Diego county) to record about 450 songs. They are a cover band that does corporate and private shows all around the world.
But at my own personal studio, I record mostly metal bands. But lately I have had some blues, classic rock, acoustic/sonwriter, and funk clients.
This mix I am having loads of trouble with right now is from a metal band in San Diego called Might and Magic. For the life of me I cannot get the low end right and the mixes are boomy and unclear. It is causing no end of stress for me. I have nailed this many times with many other mixes, why is this one kicking my a$$? Anyway, sorry to rant about that one...ha ha ha.
Thanks for sharing Sylvan, nice to hear you can actually make use of Sonar X1 ;) So summer paid for itself, nice! I wonder what did you use as audio interface for those camps recording.

I use the RME FireFace 800. I get an adittional 8 inputs with (yes, I know) the Behringer ADA 8000. I have various preamps from Presonus, Mackie, and a few off brands I can't think of at the moment. But the FireFace 800 is great. This thing combined with SONAR is a power house, more than capable of providing the tools to make a living from. Just add a talented engineer, a decent room, and some decent mics. Well, I guess a good marketing strategy and a sound business plan don't hurt to have as well.

Wow, that RME Fireface 800 is quite expensive, do would think roland octa-capture would suffice for such gigs? Little bit cheaper then Fireface... even when I'd hooked two together. I like that sound business plan!  As they say it's better have bad plan then no plan at all. can you give me number to your manager
