will sonar ever be on mac ?

Very unlikely.
You can run bootcamp on your Mac though.
 
Any reason you want to switch to Mac? Other than that they look pretty and you'd like to spend more money?

Make your choice based on the program you like. The OS shouldn't enter into it.

 i heard alot of good stuff about mac

 
Yeah, and I've heard a lot of bad stuff as well.
 
In all honesty, there is very little difference between the 2 platforms these days - there are no major bugs or showstoppers in either OS, but please don't think Macs are problem free - just have a look at their forums if you want confirmation.
 
But hopefully Sonar will stay as Windows only. I for one would not want Cakewalk to divert resources away from this model they're developing in order to satisfy what would be a small minority of users.

i mite just stick with windows
 
 

I just got a used Macbook pro (mid 2012 13" model, built in 2015 though), mainly because it was a really really great deal and I only had a surface 3 (non pro) beside my desktops. I figured it was a good option for portable recording as I have a UAD Apollo, and this MBP has FW 800 and Thunderbolt.
 
My experience is that Bootcamp is sh*t and is designed to make Windows run like sh*t on macs. The performance and garbage drivers are just pathetic. Even on an SSD. Its not windows, I can run windows on lesser machines and have a better experience.

I'm not about to switch but it's true, Logic is a killer program and almost impossible to beat bang for buck.

Maybe it was the combination of install windows 8.1 and then upgrade to win 10 that was at fault? Now that my 8.1 license is upgraded ill try a clean install of 10.

I use Macs in preference to PCs, with the exception of the PC that runs Sonar.

Macs aren't perfect and they have their own issues from time to time. OS X is completely different to Windows, which is one reason I prefer Macs (I like Unix). To say OS X is "simpler" than Windows isn't correct, it's "different" to Windows. There are semblances to iOS in look and feel and OS X and iOS devices integrate pretty well generally speaking.

From a DAW point of view it has to be said Core Audio/MIDI does make things much simpler to set up, and no need to dig around in the depths of the system switching core parking and wifi off. Built-in wireless MIDI networking is nice.

Retina screens are considerably better than HD 1900x1080 monitors.

Macs don't blue-screen crash like Windows, but they can and will lock up requiring a forced reboot sometimes. Like with Windows that problem's often down to a third-party driver or hardware.

But they cost quite a lot more than an equally powerful but maybe not so well engineered PC (those alloy MacBook bodies are expensive) and in the PC laptop world if you spend Mac levels of money you will get something more powerful. And there's no way to expand a Mac other than via Thunderbolt. Which works well but anything with "Thunderbolt" on it tends to be expensive, and many external drives and enclosures that claim to be USB3/Thunderbolt are really USB3 ones internally with a Thunderbolt socket added. The catch being that while Thunderbolt supports the SSD TRIM command USB doesn't. You also have to switch TRIM for non-Apple drives on using a terminal command.

I have Logic Pro X on a 2015 15" i7 MacBook Pro. I could live with using it as the only DAW, but the plugins it comes with are generally weaker than those you get with Sonar Platinum (with the exception perhaps of Alchemy). I personally could use Sonar Platinum with no third-party plugs at all if I needed to, but not Logic.

Sonar on OS X? It's been asked for from time to time, but the systems are very different and I would imagine it would be a huge task. There's also the pricing to consider. Logic Pro X is inexpensive as full-blown DAWs go, and can handle Garageband files and projects. Every Mac comes with Garageband. And Apple make their money mostly from selling hardware, not software...
