Sonar 5

imemine	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 11:35 AM Anyone have it yet? Still looking for a compelling reason to upgrade from 2.2.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 11:43 AM It sounds like it is one hell of a program........ You might want to wait for the Electronic Mags review. And give CW a chance to field test and get the bugs out... but from what little I've read on it... Your time may have arrived....
woodhead	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 9:39 PM I just got it yesterday, producers edition, let me get used to it and I will let you know. I had 3 producers addition and 4 pro edition, now 5. There were a lot of things fixed that I liked from 3 to 4 so we will see
imemine	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 9:41 PM Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Alstroph	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 9:42 PM I can only imagine it getting better. We've got sonar 4, which isn't so bad (there are programs I like more) but I'd jump on the chance to get 5 as soon as I could. ~M
imemine	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 9:43 PM Curious---what are the "programs you like more"?---and why please.
woodhead	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 10:02 PM Yea I would like to know that my self, I am a huge fan of Cakewalk, that is Sonar.
Alstroph	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 10:10 PM I've started using garage band recently. I tried to about a year ago and hated it, but it contains certain features that cakewalk doesn't. It allows you to highlight a group of notes and stretch them all out instead of doing each one individually. One can also mess with the sound fonts (yes, that's right, sound fonts, not MIDI) themselves and put echo, flanger, phaser, amp sim, etc. on or off of it. I know that one can get sound fonts for cakewalk, but...whatever...shut up. There are draw backs and parts of garage band that, at first encounter, are infuriating, but one becomes accustomed to them and works with them pretty well. One for instance, is that one cannot change the tempos or time signatures, but the time sig.s are easy enough to ignore. I've recently written a song using garage band and will be posting it tomorrow (monday) if anyone would like to hear it. Anyway, this seems to be dragging on a bit, so I'll just say that I find using garage band more enjoyable...maybe it's because I'm more of a mac person. I do like cakewalk as well though. ~The Minister of Scissors
imemine	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 10:55 PM All can be done in Sonar. As I thought-----but comme vous dites----fait taire OUI!
woodhead	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 11:24 PM kewl, The same but diffent
Alstroph	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 10:11 AM The volume adjustment is much more convient,as is the pitch bender, in Garageband. You can exttend mutiple notes simultaneously in cakewalk? We did not know of this.
GeneHilbert	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 10:17 AM The damn thing is XP only - those bastards
sween	Date: November 21, 2005 @ 4:04 PM I have it(producer edition), I went from Home studio 2004, Its quality, Im still getting used to it tho so I cant give much info on it... its better than Home studio anyway I love Cakewalk
DaveHall	Date: December 8, 2005 @ 10:14 PM I've been using Sonar 5 Producer for about 2 months now. 64 bit audio processing and the Clip effects bins are what I like the most. It seems that each version has something really cool that won't be in the next. Sonar 2 had the DR008 drum machine, Sonar 3 had the VSampler3, and version5 has the Roland V Vocal for Pitch Correction. Each version is better than before, but it's too bad they can't include all the plugins from the past for the first time buyer...
