No-one talking about the new Bandlab/Cakewalk thing? Do they do experiments on animals or something?

[RealKevM]

What is it mate?

[Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra]

Quality (apparently) DAW - Cakewalk Sonar now free. Not all the same bundled software as the old paid version but a lot of stuff still.....and free.

I am already happy with my free one and not sure I want to learn something new right at this moment in time but could be persuaded to look at it maybe if anybody says that I can't afford not to.

Wondered if anybody uses it.

[Bill Saunders]

For me it's a non-event. I used Sonar for 10 years until Gibson ditched development at the tail end of last year. At that point I moved onto Studio One, and found it to be vastly superior and above all, rock solid. Also a surprisingly shallow learning curve.

I am delighted for Cakewalk Sonar devotees out there, but I wish I'd moved on years ago, there really are better choices.

[Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra]

Great. That's going to save me a lot of pain then!

Thanks Bill.

[RealKevM]

Ah cheers

[Boydie]

I was also a lifelong Sonar user and evangelist

It is a VERY capable DAW and considering you can get what used be be a couple of hundred £££ it is still an amazing deal

I would still be happily using it today if Gibson hadn't managed it so badly

Like Bill I reluctantly jumped ship to STUDIO ONE and haven't looked back - especially with the hardware integration with the FADERPORT 8 and 16, which is absolutely seamless

I was asking the question http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=15034.0 a few weeks ago but no reply..

I'm still on the Sonar cakewalk platform so delighted its been bought and invested in
