yay or nay?

opinions??

[AGCurry]

I've been using it for years and it does what I need it to do.

Which is to record music and do quick arrangements.

Whether it works or not is really up to you and how you want to work.

PA9 is way old by software standards,Sonar takes advantage of the more powerful processors available these days.

[seijuromitsurug]

damn, now that i think about it, i've been using PA9 for like 4 years now.



time to upgrade!!!


recommendations?

Sonar is the direct descendant (and may be able to open your old files?). Most recent version is 5 - its available in Studio and Producer editions - check it out at cakewalk.com

I have opened PA9 files in Sonar 1 and 3. I'm pretty sure Sonar 4 and 5 will too. However, once they are saved as a Sonar project, PA9 will not open them.

Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 is a perfectly good recording program if you are new to PC recording and have a Pentium 3 or older PC. If all of these apply, I say go for it. I found it on Ebay for $10 plus $5 for shipping. Sounds like a good deal to me.

If you can get Cakewalk AudioFX1 to go with it you'll be in good shape.

PA9 is awesome especially for midi sequencing. I would seriously consider though looking for a version of SONAR. I know people are selling older versions on the net very cheaply, and even SONAR 1 is a huge step up from PA9.

I use PA9 to do any MIDI and to lay my tracks down and do any necessary bouncing, simply because I find the interface is easier to use to do that kind of stuff. But come serious mixdown time, I pull it into S4PE.
