You're right, running several tools may be the route to go.
I'll experiment tonight with the extra info I got about loop construction in Sonar, but maybe keeping Acid for the loops will work in the end, it's just the expense issue, I mean, sure, if money wasn't an issue...
As an aside, I'm...
Very cool, much appreciated info, I'm seriously wanting Sonar to work for me and your feedback is making things look promising.
The only other significant issue I've had was the loop construction tool was giving me some major problems, i.e. when I let it do it automatically, it always sounded...
Let me verify this because I do think I'm doing the right-click approach for auditioning effects and processing, however, that still doesn't seem to explain why it takes so long to render once I've auditioned and want to apply the effect.
I must be missing something because the performance...
Re: "...if you know Sonar at the same level, I think you have more options for your tunes..."
This is the reason I'm even pondering this question, because I'm relatively new to all of them, I thought it might be in my best interest to learn the tool that offers the most and then i could grow...
I should probably add that...
I don't do midi (not yet anyhow)
All analog in: synth, guitars, and vocals, as well as relying on samples and loops, which brings me to one other serious problem: Loop creation (or construction as it's called in Sonar), I cannot for the life of me figure out how...
I'm testing Sonar XL, Acid Pro 4.0, & Cool Edit 2.0, and although I was leaning towards Sonar just so I could "grow into it", I'm having serious doubts because when I try to preview effects & processing or even apply them to a track, they take MUCH longer than Acid Pro (using the same exact...
I'm experimetning with all three of these tools, and although I spent the last year of my life reading every magazine and online article I could get my hands on, I'm still fairly confused as to why ACID PRO isn't just fine for "my needs" (perhaps it is?):
Here's the lowdown and what I'd really...
Thanks but no, I'm no better off
I must be crazzzy!!

No, I don't. Although you admittedly did your best to help, what I was looking for was someone with the specific knowledge of...
I cannot believe I have to ask this, but here goes:
1st, my recording setup:
Keyboard
Guitars (through stereo effects board)
Studio monitors
mics for vocals or acoustic
headphone amp
PC for recording (Important note, only two ins *L/R* for stereo)
and last, but not least, I sold the Mackie...
Amplitube live/Realtime?
How is it live/realtime?
Which VST wrapper are you using as well as soundcard, and OS/CPU/RAM?
I see IK is touting Amplitube for live performance as a plugin, but they're also coming out with a standalone for MAC:
"AmpliTube Live is a stand-alone version of the...
Yeah, to be honest, I can't say much for the production work Neptunes have done for others (most of the mainstream stuff I don't listen to), but their self produced 'N.E.R.D.' is about as cutting edge as anything out there.

I know, this is a redundant post, but perhaps it will help someone looking for more info regarding the AW16G:
"if you find yourself reading this particular post as someone who was sincerely looking for information relevant to the "Yamaha AW16G vs. AW2816" title, I've posted a couple of bits of...
Well!
I see that quite a few people have viewed this thread, and it's either for the ongoing drama or the fact that the title is so provocative; so, if you find yourself reading this particular post as someone who was sincerely looking for information relevant to the "Yamaha AW16G vs. AW2816"...
Ah, what the heck, I have a subscription to S.O.S. online, so I'll post one other part of the review for those that might not get a chance to read the article:
[and as a thanks to S.O.S. for unofficially allowing me to repost this part of the article, here's how you too can become a happy...
Yeah, there's a lot of reviews out there and I just finished reading the Sound On Sound review tonight, and for those people out there who have a little history with the previous Yamaha gear and particularly those who've asked in other threads, e.g. "Yam AW16 VS Yam 2816 - the 1k differences "...
It's sitting on my desk at work (along with me at 8:00 at night) because I work TOO DAMN MUCH!!
Actually, I hope to do some recording with a bass player co-worker, and although I'm far from an expert in these affairs (DAW/portable digitals), the 16G is just what the doctor ordered: pop it into...
Hornet,
Nope, no English Studies, more like Dr. of Doolittle! ;-)
Thanks, and wheels to the curb in Queen Anne!

p.s. My typo, "I glad you all don't agree" is just that, a typo, and does not warrant any professorial lectures about English usage or claims to have mastered Joyce, the only degree I have is in sarcasm and having fun making music! *wink* and a nod to Hornet ;-)
Regebro,
As someone new to this forum and having read some of the discourse you've had with the "hornet", I'd just like to say that it sure didn't come across as insults to me, and even if it was an insult (or sarcasm), be the "bigger man" and move on so the new guys like myself can read more...
