Hi kids, I am attempting to put my project studio back together, it was destroyed be a fire and cats, seriously. Anyhow, got anew computer (AMD Sempron 1,80ghz 512ram@7200 rpm, a huge leap from my dinosaur.)

I was using Sonar 2, A friend of mine has a legit version of Sonar 3 producer I can get for a very good price. Regardless of price, is it worth it?

It seems like a RADICAL change at furst, especially the Color Scheme and the layout. I was so used to Sonar 2 that it feels I will be learning a whole new program again. I find Sonar 3 to be an ugky, crowded fucker.

That said, why should I do it? It is a great price (more like a "friends' price), but I am so strapped for cash that anything is a big deal financially.

How is it Better than 2? Will I pick up more chicks or smell better with 3? I already own waves native Bundle for reverb effects, are the ones included better. What else can it do that I might actually use?
 
I wasn't as impressed with the leap from 2 to 3 as I was the previous versions.If you've got the Waves effects you should be set.
I think Cakewalk has been more sizzle than steak as of late.
Let the flames begin.
 
For my money, the two biggest differences between 2 and 3 were the Universal Bus Routing and the VST adapter. If those two items are important to you, I would say go for it. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with 2.
 
i think sonar 3 PE has ultrafunk fx. i have ultrafunk R2 and there are some good fx there but if you've got waves, don't worry about sonitus.

i'm pretty sure that the track folders stuff wasn't until sonar 4. i'm using sonar 2 as well.
 
DavidK, if you are comfortable with S2, stick with it.

If its capabilities work for you, why change. ;)
 
There is some wisdom in that, SPINSTERWUN. :)

If I had stayed with 2.2 I would have a large pocket full of beer money and my hard drive and graphics card would thank me :rolleyes:
