Been thinking of picking up Sonar Cakewalk, anyone use cakewalk? Any other suggestions?
 
You mean Cakewalk's SONAR, nonetheless... I use Samplitude but SONAR is a good product.
 
Oops, yeah Cakewalk's Sonar, I've been messing around with the LE version, but not really sure what to expect if I upgrade
 
I have Cubase, but I find myself working in Reaper a lot. It's free, and a full blown DAW that does everything you need. You can even load it onto a USB key. :thumbsup:
 
I use Kristal, I just wish it had MIDI capability.
 
Tracktion

If you're actually going to buy it, it's cheap and very easy to use.

Hmm, I'll look into it after work, does it have midi capabilities?
 
ive switched from cubase to reaper recently. Only downside is reaper doesnt support omf so all my projects in cubase are stuck in cubase so I have to keep it around until I get around either re-recording it or rebuilding it track by track into reaper.

Other then that annoyance.. reaper is teh pwn. Super lightweight and does "most" everything that I was able to do in cubase.
 
I use N-Track 5. Not as feature rich as your big name products but I feel like I can extract pretty good results from it.

I used to use Sonar, but I've been using Cubase SX for the past three years, and I have to say I prefer that. It could be a familiarity thing, but I find it much easier to set up the mix just the way I like it in Cubase. Plus, it works very well with Reason, which cures my synth-o-psychodelia cravings :D

I went the other way. I switched over after Cubase VST/32 (right before SX1). Audio-wise it was a push, but I found MIDI editing (which I do a fair amount of) much quicker in Sonar. Sonar Producer has been stable in every version for me, too. VST and VST/32 would both freak out on me occasionally (and this on a clean computer for music applications only). May be different now, but I had both at the same time and went the Cakewalk route.
 
What extra features does Producer version of Sonar have over studio? The price difference is pretty high.

I think it depends on what you you're trying to do. If you're just importing existing material and laying down your own tracks over the top, then the Producer Edition is probably overkill. If you're doing your own writing/arranging thing, track by track, then I think it is worth the money. I use a lot of MIDI and plug-ins to build drum and orchestral tracks (and to clean up my messy keyboard playing), so I've found use for a lot of the included softsynths and plugins in the Producer Edition.
 
i just bought an IMAC and an MBOX mini and have been using ProTools. if i wasnt doing so much shit in the studio right now i wouldve stuck with sonar.
 
I just rec'd my sonar power studio today, but haven't used it yet.
