Re: Sonar quality

Has anyone else experienced these short comings?

Yah - their girlfriends...

Re: Sonar quality

I've been using SONAR for a couple of years and I have noticed that the sound quality from it's audio engine is not as punchy as some of the other apps.

It's not the program, it's the user...

I mean that...

Yeah, or the song...

Or both!


And James, check this out. Please?

Maybe this is for a new thread altogether, but I'm curious.....................how different can an audio clip recorded at 16 bit, 44.1 kh sound different from one app to the next? I've done these comparisons over the last couple years, and I just don't hear this huge difference. What differentiates one company's audio engine from another? It seems to me that any audible difference can be imitated by simply EQ'ing. I have noticed that Samplitude seems to produce a bit more high end than Sonar, but again, a little EQ can remedy that. So I guess the question is; isn't digital audio digital audio? I think it is, but I could be wrong. Enlighten me!

Cakewalk was easier for me to learn than Cubase......

Just my $0.02

It is, for sure....Cubase is more difficult for starters

Anyhow, if your main goal is to make great music, I think either one would work comparably well.

Also true. They both do the job. It's just what you like best...

Exactly!

I'm happy with fxPansions wrapper, never had any problems with it... What VST-plugins are you guys using?

F.Loops, DS404, Crystal. The system seems unstable, causes crashes and hang-ups. But I haven't really tried it on my new puter setup yet. It could have been lack of horse power, although I ran into problems using it on my laptop as well with XP.

well???

The different programs handle the audio in nearly the exact same way. But different programs has different effects, suc as EQ, reverb, and so on. These can sound fairly different, but not so much that my pal whos using Logic will sound like a producer and I with Sonar will sound like I'm in kindergarten... (and it should be the other way around ).

Thank you. I'm going to explore this a bit more. On the other hand, no, I'm not.....I'm perfectly satisfied with the sound quality of Sonar, and I can tell you this; Sonar is by far the easiest of the big apps to work with, and if you're into MIDI, there's no comparison whatsoever. Sonar wins hands down. As far as that goes, even the audio portion is more intuitive. I'm sick of this debate. I use what I use and I'm happy. Hope you all are, too !!

That's the best advice in this whole tread!

"Use what you are satisfied with"!
