Guys,

I’m gonna take the plunge and Sonar is on its way.
Question is, what will be the difference (If any) from a setup point of view?

Current setup:
CW Pro 9
AMD Athlon 1Gig
768 mb ram
80 gig HD (The system is dual boot and all the office stuff is over on a second 40 gig HD)

I am assuming, you do the usual wave profiler routine and your good to go?

Your thoughts please,

Alan.

I certainly would think so. When I moved over to Sonar, I upgraded my computer aswell, but that was because I was running it on an old P2-350.

Just hit that Wave-profiler button, and you're good to go! :)
 
Sorry bout that James………….DOH!
It was real late last night when I posted that one.
A genuine head up ass moment.

Anyway,

O.S: Win 2000 Pro (would XP be a good move, as well?)
Soundcard: Audigy Platinum

Thanks,

Alan.
 
IMHO 2000 or XP is fine. Don't know if there would be much difference between the two. Your hardware is what really makes the difference. And it sounds like you have a good machine. You shouldn't have any problem setting it up. Just cross your fingers.
 
wave profiler?

I am in the process of building a computer and I plan on buying sonar. I will most likley go with windows xp.

My question is, what is the wave profiler button? Is this a function in Sonar or is this something that I have been over looking in windows? Also, what does this do?

Thanks

It's a function in Sonar, just relax. If you find it in Windows I'm supprised! ;)

What it does it analyzes your audio-card, and make adjustments to buffers and latency based on that analysis. It's simple, rellay! :D
 
Thanks for the input guys,

Gotta say, I’m looking forward to trying it out.
You know how it is, new toy with go faster stripes.

Having said that, I just know its gonna prompt more posts, for which I apologize in advance.

Alan.
 
Sonar is da bomb. I've been using it since it came out and I'm still finding stuff I didn't know it could do.

Alan,
Make sure you uninstall PA9 before installing Sonar. Sonar is not an upgrade in the sense that it won't cleanly overwrite PA9, like a typical software upgrade would wipe out an earlier version. The installation instructions should explain this.

Once you get into Sonar, you will wonder why you stayed with PA9 so long. It really rocks and is very intuitive, especially where you're already used to Cakewalk products. Also, your system should serve you well. I have a 1gig PIII. Stay with Win2k. Very stable with Sonar. Good luck.
 
just for the record, I run Sonar and cakewalk pro 5 on the same machine. The Sonar installation is completely separate and I have no trouble running either applications separately. I use Sonar to do my work and then I save my work in different formats, one being midi format 1. I later verify the file in cakewalk 5 and check for accurate sysx data and other params. The benefit here, is that I often send out to a legacy cakewalk user or for another platform. This is a way to verify that I got it right before sending. There are other benfits, like having a stable versions running to verify problems etc. . I don't know about cakewalk 9, but it might be handy to keep it around ?
 
ChuckU brutha, where have you been...? Long time not seeing you around. ;)
Here's my Q :
I work in SONAR 2XL, somehow, I like to bring the project to be mixed in friends DAW, which use CWPA9. I can't save my project in .bun file in SONAR. So I save it .cwb. But... hey, CWPA9 doesn't recognize the file (.cwb). Was there any patch to alow SONAR save to older format (.wrk or .bun) ? OR was there any way to let CWPA read any .cwb files ? Gees..

Oooh, sorry Alan, seems like I hijack your thread... excuse me. :D Hope the replies can help all of us here... :)
 
Have you tried renaming the file to .bun? :D It's a longshot, I know...
