Just noticed how many more posts there were to this thread compared to the cubase thread. Was wondering since I am a cubase user what the advantages might be using a cakewalk product instead. Since I am new to the game anyway I would switch over if it was indeed better and had more features or something.
Thanks.
 
Huh. I guess if you're gonna ask your question in the cake-eaters forum, you're gonna get those kinds of answers.

Cubase is great, but I'm not sure there are that many users at homerec. The new SX interface is reputed to be real friendly, but I'm sticking with VST 5.1 'cos I don't feel like wandering into OS upgrade hell yet (XP is required for SX - going XP would force me to upgrade Encore as well...).

Anyhow, if your main goal is to make great music, I think either one would work comparably well. If your main goal is to compare notes on your sequencer with your pals here at homerec, then by all means, buy Sonar.:rolleyes:

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

Just my $0.02

They both do the same job really but having played around with Cubase on a friends system I didn't find it very user friendly in fact I didn't like it at all really.

I've used Sonar for a long time and pro Audio before that so I'm very used to the Cakewalk format I guess.
If I had to make a choice I would say Sonar kicks Cubase Ass !



Just my 2 cents.
 
I used Cubase on Atari computers in Paris back in 1991 for sequencing MIDI and it was ...fun... then I moved on to Cakewalk 2.0 which was a nice change... later to PA 7 and now SONAR 2.0. In the process I've always wanted to acquire Cubase as well to compare features and everytime I've used Cubase I have not been to happy.

In a recent study of the long term effects of Cubase use,it has been found that as a group Cubase users are at a significantly higher risk of impotence,obeseity and ignorance than the general population.
Sonar use on the other hand has been shown to increase virility,creativity and all around likeability in it's users.

But it's really your own choice..........:confused:

Manufacturers disclaimer:to achieve results as drastic as this,you may need to purchase SONAR XL
 
Dear Dr Agon,

Can using Sonar XL restore hair-loss and increase the size of my willy?

I've been receiving a lot of e-mails that promise to help me in these areas. So far I've been using HomeStudio, and I've been tearing out what's left of my hair :D

It's generally accepted in the musical community that anyone using Sonar already has a big willy. As a rule of thumb, one should typically start with N-Track, and move on through Cool Edit Pro, then Cubase, and finally graduating to Sonar as the size of the willy increases. Once a Sonar user, you will have achieved maximum willy size (including girth), and therefore have no reason to be pissin' around with ANY other apps!! So, leave the SX's of the world to those with inferior willy sizes, and plunge into the best app available!!! Just my 2 cents worth!!

i have cubase & logic audio in addition to sonar and i find cubase too fukking stupid in their interface design.

i've sat down for the better part of a day and didn't get very far. simple things like choosing i/o channels on the 3 different audio cards in have is next to impossible.
the damn thing assumes you're working with one audio card. i keep going back to it every once in a while cos i want to use vst plugins but i just run into one annoying thing after another and go back to sonar.

i wish the assholes at cakewalk would just swallow their pride, pay the royalty on vst, and include vst in sonar. i've tried all the vst/dx bridging programs and every single one of them is totally worthless cos at best they work once or twice and then blow up taking sonar with 'em. at worst, they don't work at all and blue screen the entire micro$haft winfuxp os.

which brings up another thing: how about porting sonar to linux? audio is the only thing i use windoze for and would love to never see another winsux os ever again.

My experiences with fxpansion have been less than satisfactory too, but help is on its way.......fxpansion have been bought out by Cakewalk and a new 4.01 version is on its way, April/May time, so not too long to wait.
 
I'm happy with fxPansions wrapper, never had any problems with it... What VST-plugins are you guys using?
 
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. If you have had the luxury of trying other applications in comparison you might agree. I am trying to decide now if it is worth going to another program. I've heard over and over that Logic or Pro tools sound much better. Don't get me wrong I love the automation, dxi, rewire etc... options in SONAR but haven't been able to achieve the sound quality that I've seen some of my peers come up with. I'm recording at 24 bit 96 khz. What I have learned is that when you run a lot of plugins and have a lot of tracks your sound quality deminishes drastically with this program. You should use a plugin and then uninstall it it. Just having them on your harddrive sucks up RAM and processing power. Has anyone else experienced these short comings with this program????
