There is really nothing useful as it pertains to Sonar here, but seeing as my MG friend and the dude who looks like my ex-wife when she is angry are both brits and the MGA guy brought up Brussels, I had to add this otherwise meaningless diatribe.

I can't help thinking that I and my car come out of this comparison more favourably than Steve and his face...

i am starting to see more questions asked about SOnar over on the soundonsound forums, so it is starting to get some penetration in the market, although a) this had a lot to do with the ridiculous price Cubarse was being sold at, people thought Sonar must be a toy, until Logic lowered its price to the sme as Sonar, then people realised, nope, Steiny were just robbing them b) now that Cubase is available for only slightly more than Sonar, we'll see c) there is still a widespread thought that Sonar is rubbish at midi stuff, that it doesn't handle vsts natively etc etc, which they must work harder at displacing in the European market
but it's getting there!

Hi there Trev, I came up to Telford a while back - I have never seen so many traffic islands that went nowhere in my life!

Apart from Redditch of course

Another UK user here (in the valleys of South Wales) from Pro audio 9 through to Sonar 7.02. I did skip sonar version 4 but the feature list since 5 onwards has simply been expansive and impressive. I do find 7 slightly less stable than 6 unfortunately.
A regular reader of Computer music, Sound on sound and this Forum all of which I find very informative.

Me retelling this story does not do justice to the actual event. You should have heard them die laughing at the Belgian comment.
Oh and steve strummer uk.
Back when my ex and I were still married, one night, while she was asleep, I was gently carressing her head. I felt some bumps on her scalp. Curious, I turned on the bedside lamp, quietly sat up and looked at her scalp where I felt the bumps.

There, in numbers nearly 1.5" high (about 6cm) where the numbers 665. 665- this woman had missed it by 1. I could have sworn I heard the ah-ah-ah...ah-ah-ah... sound from the Omen just as that happened.

other than I guess the French think the Belgians are a bunch of euro-rubes.


I'm surprised they did not revert to Polish accent.

I have a Greek friend (came stateside in 1974). When I asked him what do they say in Greece, like we do in America: "It's all Greek to me". He said they say: "It's all Chinese to me".

Another very happy sonar user in the UK (birmingham to be more precise)

Sound on Sound is a fantastic magazine and I used to be a subscriber. One day a few months ago i realised I was practically addicted to it and thus didn't renew my subscription! But seriously, it is really well written but does generally assume that its readers already have a decent knowledge of the subject. I think this is a good thing, but anyone who is starting out with music tech wont find it an easy read!

Hey Robert - I wished you'd kept that quiet!

I've been working on the theory that the Yanks are quite impressed that I only live 20 odd miles away from the birthplace of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest - now you've gone and blown me out of the water!

Mind you, I did live in Selly Park when I was pretending to study Biological Science at the Uni a few hundred years ago.

I remember Brum for all the wrong reasons... I had a nightmare customer from there when I worked in pro audio years ago. We'd setup the machine for audio.. and he'd put a load of s*** on it to slow it right down to run like a zx81..

ended up going to there to deliver it.. oh the joys of getting cut up and going around paradise circus/circle ? 2 times.

Of course you count, as u are a SOnar user, which is positive, therefore you are from UK.

Just applying the Coulthard/Murray rule of thumb, when they are winning they are from UK, when they lose there Scottish :)

So if you were a Cubase user, you would be from Scotland :)

ps I am a paying customer of yours, so be nice :)

I've been a UK (Warwickshire) user since Sonar 2. I first tried other sequencers but found them clunky whereas Sonar always seemed to me like a true Windows app., like Excel for example. I've also been addicted to Sound On Sound for nearly ten years now! All songs on my web site have been recorded, mixed and mastered in Sonar. I just can't begin to imagine what they'll unveil for Sonar 8 in late Autumn. The product fulfills all my needs at the moment, but I'll no doubt be tempted!

Brussels - HAHAHAH (I think - explanation below)
A few years back, I was in Paris for some meetings then a tour of a manufacturing facility about 2 hours west of Paris. We had a limo full of Parisians, me and one of my colleagues. As the business chatter died down, the conversations became more social. At some point, they turned to movies "What is your favorite movie?" "Do you like comedies?" In the midst of this converstaion, someone asked "Did you ever see The Pink Panther?" "Yes" I said - starting to get a bit uncomfortable as to where this was headed - me being one of those blasted Americans. "What made the Pink Panther so funny?" I was asked. Ugh - this was the question I was worried about. "Inspector Closeau" seemed like a better answer than "That bumbling French detective."

So - the questioner replied "Yes and you know what they did when they translated the movie into French?" I gave up. "They gave him a Belgian accent!!!"

So everyone in the car died lauging except for me and my colleague. I have never completely understood, other than I guess the French think the Belgians are a bunch of euro-rubes.

There is really nothing useful as it pertains to Sonar here, but seeing as my MG friend and the dude who looks like my ex-wife when she is angry are both brits and the MGA guy brought up Brussels, I had to add this otherwise meaningless diatribe.




Brussels is the "capitol" of the EU.

I think the official slogan is something like: "The EU...taking up where Napoleon and Hitler left off!"[sm=rolleyes.gif]

And by that I mean...it increasingly looks like an attempt on the part of France and Germany to unite all of Europe under a single government. To its credit, the UK has resisted to some extent. They at least have kept out of the Euro.

Sad but true, mind u unions are the coming thing, you have the African Union, soon the North American Union, can anyone say 1984.

Hell I am an ex cubase user, I still keep it on my machine for collaborations, becuase Reason with Cubase seems to still be the Hip Hop producers preferred combination in this day and age.
