Sonar 4 HS?

[ryansharif89]

There's no way I'll be able to afford Sonar 5 PE, so I was looking into Sonar 4 Home Studio.

I haven't heard much talk about them among these forums, do they lack quality or something?

Not at all. I could do almost everything on HS that I could in Sonar. Its a terrific program, and you can always trade up.

I too also used SHS4, and it is a great program. Functionally speaking, it is nearly identical to Sonar 4, with a few features from Sonar 5 (it came in between the two). What you miss out on are the FX and Soft-Synths that come with Producer Edition. Such as...Sonitus Suite, Perfect Space Reverb, and then a couple of soft synths. But...you can look around online for freeware FX and synths.

I too use SCHS4XL and love it. I don't know how it compares to other CW software but there are tons of options and you can find countless free plugins to use.

Great. It sounds like brilliant software to get going on, thanks.
