Step sequencer YES!!!!!

*running out on the street and fireing up som fireworks of joy*

so many features, so little time....


I bought a new computer recently ( with core2duo) and sonar 6 runs smooth now, just like sonar 4 did om my computer before this one...

so how hard will SONAR 7 squeeze my new computers balls? :)

one more question, when I have selected a track on the track view, is the same track visually highlightet or outlined with a clearly visible color on the console view on the same track?
it has been little hard to find the same track on the console view since Im using dualscreen...

I think I can lay Live to rest now. Sonar is all you need in a sequencer.

whats good man long time no see!!! if it doesnt auto quantize i'll pass. i have a capable set up - but i'd really like to do everything in sonar. the midi side of 5pe is aweful compared to fl and it kills my inspiration, i remember you use to try to get me to look at live. i did & its akward to me. so now i bounce everything out of fl studio track by track into sonar. i mix - track vocals & master is 5pe - fl doesnt like emulator x2 that much. fl's workflow w/midi is awesome, man i hope cake doesnt let me down! i not buying til i find out about the quantizing though!!!

It may be risky but I ordered it without even reading the new features list.

Congratulations on another great job.

Sonar 6 has input (auto) quantize. I don't think they would eliminate that from 7 with all of the new midi improvements.

They put almost everything i wanted in this one upgrade; sidechaining, cdburning,midi improvements. I am EXTREMELY impressed and more convinced now then ever that this is the BEST daw around, and that Cakewalk strives for the highest quality and top dog status, and that Cakewalk TRULY hears the requests of their customers. I'm mind blown!

So, what should we talk about now?

Maybe that Logic 8 cost $499 and Sonar 7 $619...

If you want the iZotope Radius stretching that Sonar has included, you'd better add $399.99 to the price of Logic. That makes logic $898.99 to get closer to Sonar's feature set, and it still aint there. No contest.

Interesting too that Logic's new feature set could easily have been pasted straight out of the Sonar 5/6 "What's new" section

And if you want an audio editor to accompany Sonar then you'd better add $300 to its price for Sound Forge.

That makes Sonar $919. Let's not even discuss having to purchase a "decent" drum synth/sampler.


For the record I think this is really a great upgrade, and I hope that both Apple and Cakewalk force Ableton into a corner where some AGGRESSIVE AND COMPETITIVE PRICING are mandatory.


But if we're speaking bang for your buck? Honestly? Really? No...seriously? For live performance, studio production, audio editing, scoring/post production, and sample content...all in one package? What is beating out Logic Studio?

Darn, I just bought Z3TA+ this summer too not to mention that I bought Rapture last summer. I wish I could get them to take off a little more off the price of my upgrade from Sonar 6 Producer's edition. I'm not demanding it, I'm just wishing.

how well does the input quantize work cause i hate 2 have break my workflow to go back and adjust notes on "every" midi track

It works great. It's really easy. Every midi track has it in it's parameters now. You just set it and record. That wasn't originally part of Sonar 6. It was added in the 6.2.1 update.

imma take ya word 4 it & jump off the cliff this weekend!!!anyone wanna buy a like new trigger finger (10ft usb cable & drivers disc incl) i dont use it. $100 + shipping

I remember that some of us bought Boost 11 before it was known to be included in Sonar 7 and we were told that we would be credited the difference when S7 comes out. I already ordered S7, will Cakewalk automatically deduct the price for Boost 11 or do I have to call?

Thanks

Mike

Did I miss the part where the notation was improved? Did any of the notation cluster get addressed at all?

Sorry, but I don't believe there were any enhancements here. Maybe next time?

This is a big let down for me, it means there are basically no improvements since Sonar 1

Sorry for my bad english

It appears that your glass is half empty... sorry dude!

Nice feature set,,,, I'm in, for sure,,,, I'm wondering if there are improvements to the loop audition,,, I don't see anything listed about it.

Good point, I hope it's in there....

This is fantastic! I almost hate to ask, but..... - is there MIDI compression yet?
