so did you lose or earn money using sonar X1?

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.
Any success story? has anybody earned million dollars finishing lucrative project on time with X1?

Never been paid a million dollars for anything. But I have been getting paid, as have several others. I'm not really convinced of the premise here, mind you.

I've earnt a thousand times more with X1 than any previous version.

1000 x 0 = ?

$2000pm thats good going what type of artist have you had walking through your doors Sylvan.

And what new equipment have you bought?

Just call these guys before your next big project:

production insurance


and tell them you use SONAR X1. They'll work you up a quote.

fixed the link

Ol X1 (all the way from the crappy first iterations to the now pretty wonderful C model) has paid for itself multiple times over here.  Course I use it and 8.5 both to make my living.  That said, until now at least, X1 was never in front of clients...only 8.5 for that.

Mine has paid for itself in folds!  In the first four months I was able to finish more demos than ever and sold four of them to publishers!  Everyone asks me what I use on my demos and I am proud to say Sonar X1.

It's paid for itself many times for me doing music for video....and a lot of that was not even really original music... just working off of a sequence already written in Z3ta

I make about $250/Month performing in a virtual world.  It's not a huge sum but it is *my* money and it buys me gear :)


    I use Sonar X1 to put backing tracks / Loops together and also use Matrix View for live work.  I had a couple of initial hiccups, but am happy with X1B - lurking a little for X1C.  Personally I like the X1 interfaces for the work I do.  I would like to stretch the control bar over multiple monitors, but not something I pull my hair out over.

Good reply to a loaded question.   
 
 
 
PS... where can I get one of those couches?  Sounds comfortable.

kc2ine: who is this user you refer too. that got legal papers

I am still a hobbiest but if I were commercial I fully expect I would have made money because I make money on everything I try to make money at. That may soundarrogant but it is ot meant that way. What I mean is this. If I were using X1 to make money I would have replaced whatever needed replacing in order that my system would work... if that meant a new interface and buying  new Studiocat with CUSTOMER SUPPORT and having Jiminstall all my programs and media, that is what I would have done. There is NO WAY, if I were using X1 as a business tool, that I would have allowed problems to continue any time at all... and if one cannot afford the tools needed to do the job then I don't know what to say. I have been a business owner since 1989 and have always used the best tools and materials that mney can buy and I do not advertize, I can barely keep up with the business that comes by referrals... so I know a little about what it takes to run a sucessful business... you have to do whatever it takes to please the customer and to overcome problems... and problems can be overcome. If anyone can run X1 and run it stable everyone can if they are willing to do whatever it takes.
 
Still, I am a happy hobbiest. However, as I learn more and become fully retired from my business I hope to learn how to break into the local recording business. Frankly I don't know where to start but I am not ready to start either. As I get ready, when I have the time and the confidence, I will find customers.
 
If you cannot make X1 work and make money for you.. if that is your thing then, IMO, you have not done all you can or borrowed and spent mney to get there if that is what is needed.
 
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.
 
Now this is just my opinion but it is also my understandingthat there are people making it work and work well, so I see no reason that everyone shoudn't be able to make it work and work well.
 
Yeah, this is completely subjective but I have always found that where there is a will there is a way.

A thundering waterfall of good sense from jbow there, in which some may wish to bathe.

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 ?.

Oh, kc2ine is a troll, for real.

Interesting thread though. His absence, I expect, is down to it panning out exactly oppositely to his expectations.

im waiting on his answer to his statement, short of that
its slander !
