Whats the best out of these three: Logic, Sonar, or Cubase? I have a chance at any one I want, which one should I go with?? By the way, when trying out Logic, at first the metronome was loud and clear, in a later session I hear it at all, what's wrong?
 
Sorry about the typo, what i meant to say was that in a later session i couldn't hear the metronome at all, not even faintly.
 
I use Logic and am not too impressed. It is very powerfull but it's hard to do even simple things without reading the manual. I still havent figured out the best way to manage files or even rename the tracks. And I am not new to DAW's or sequencers. I used to use Cakewalk a bit and am considering moving over to Sonar or even the new CoolEditPro.

You only hear the metronome if you have a midi device setup for it. There is NO internal click sound, another shortcoming.
 
I use sonar myself, It works fine for midi and audio recording. I don't know anything about the others you mentioned, so I couldn't compare them. I've used cakewalk products for years. And probably never change. Just my 2 cents...
 
It really depends upon the use. If you do not need Midi then something like Vegas Audio would probably do.

From what I hear and my usage of the demo available for download Sonar looks like it is the best solution at present for general purpose use.

A lot of people find Ntrack O/K but I find the interface clumsy and also a bit of a memory and CPU Hog
 
if you think ntrack hogs memory you ought to try Nuendo...yikes!
 
I just used the *new* cool edit pro 2 and it was great. I had 1 or 2 effects running on every track and had no problems. I did have only 7 tracks going though (Drums were mixed down to a stereo track). It is very nice though. No more applying effects to the actual wave file. Now you just save them in the project and when you mix down they are applied. Man this program is such and improvement over 1.2a. It is about 300 percent faster in my opinion and just as easy if not easier. I must say that I think Cakewalk has its advantages because you can easily integrate in sounds from SoundFonts and it is cheap, but I think Cool Edit 2 is awesome, it is also much more stable IMO. Not to mention that Cool Edit is just about the best editing program ever. I think it is better than even Sound Forge in that respect.

I have been using Cakewalk Guitar Studio for two years, so I know I like Cakewalk. I just upgraded to Sonar. It's gotten great reviews, and it doesn't cost as much as Cubase or Logic. Actually they are all regarded as great programs. I don't think it really matters. Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. They all make good trucks. I like Chevys and Sonar, myself.
 
I use Cubase, and love it. I found it to be the most intuitive of the three. I'm about to buy Nuendo soon, I used it recently in a mix session... easily imported the song which was done in Cubase... I love that. I just have to decide which Nuendo system to get.
