I need to know objectively and honestly without hype what audio sequencer would be comparable to sonar on the mac? I am a pc user, about to purchase an ibook for music only and Sonar has been a godsend on my pc, but unfortunately i can't have it on my mac.
also can anybody tell me if Pro tools has audio syncing abilities, like acid, or sonar. I'm a collage composer and typically record my guitar, bass, and drums into sonar and then chop them up into individual parts for remixing and processing. |

digital performaer is DEEP
I do not know Cakewalk stuff, but it must be as good. Since Apple just bought Emagic, I think the smart and/or interesting choice for you would be to go with Logic. On the other hand Steinberg now looks to be THE cross-platform king, so it would be easy to swapp back and forth ...interesting times. The top four are all good (Logic, Steinberg, Cakewalk, Digital Performer). Why don't you just go ahead and download the free protools software and play with that for awhile? I want to get a windows machine, just to check out Sonar myself- it looks really good. Sorry I cannot be more direct, but I am a novice, more or less too. drtexas |

I think if you compare Sonar to Metro 5 (cakewalk), you will be pleasantly suprised. Also you are already using a cakewalk product, the transition may be much easier than choosing another maker.

I don't know how similar they are. I have not had the opportunity to chek out sonar. It seems that metro has everything to offer that sonar has. The only real difference is that metro usus vst plugs and i believe that sonar is limited to direct x. Go to the cake walk page and compare them. I have not in a while.

A thread where you can hear "logic is chock full of bugs" is a mystery to me
 (now I can die happy, I've seen this once

It's not a bug, it's a feature
 More seriously, as the main aim is to make some butchery on audio. There is a great soft for that : prooooooooooootoooooooooools (free)  you're VST less then but audiowise can't be beaten on manipulation. You can still vstfy outside of it. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Login, i would say Nuendo is the nearest from Sonar, in terms of ergonomics.
But Digital Performer for example, will go far beyond Sonar, even if you'll have to change your habits. But it will be worth it, i think. Bye. |
