Ive been thinking about buying it. I am pretty familiar with Sonar 1 and I thought it sucked. Input?

Here is what the folks on the aranger board think http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/004586.html

I disagree.
Version 1.x works like a charm.
So far I did not see any reason for updating.
If you don't like version 1, you won't like version 2 either.
It still is cakewalk and has another layout as cubase or logic audio.
If you don't own version 1.x then indeed go for version 2.

The advantages I think of Sonar against the other two by the way are in my opinium;
1. Much lesser processor load
2. More solid in usage as cubase or logic audio
3. better compatibility with different system setups.
4. ease of use

For a good working DAW with cubase or logic audio you need to built a machine which you will only use for that purpose.
Sonar is much more forgiven.

Looks/layout;
Well cubase and logic audio win!
They look much better.

Note;
when is your cd ready

Thanks for both your input. Im going Digi001 instead.

Freddnyl, that project I threw out the window. Too many chefs in the kitchen. Sucks eh? Im in another project with me and just one other guy. We wrote about 20 songs and we are in the process of putting them together now. This time, I will make sure we see this one through. LOL.

Thanks again.
