So now reading and writing music is indication of hobbyist usage! The pros are musicianly illiterateexcessional wrote:
1. You learn music notation whenever you learn a classical instrument. 99% of people who can read music (and therefore might make use of the staff view) aren't making a living through music. They aren't Pros. You might sensibly talk about Sibelius being staff-view focussed and for Pros only but I'd say that Sonar has a more functional staff view than many other DAWs in the same sector - FL or Ableton for example. I think OP is confusing the concepts of 'classical' and 'professional'.
How Sonar has a more functional staff view than many other DAWs in the same sector ?!! It is really funny that you compare it to FL Studio and Ableton Live!! How about Cubase and Logic staff view? or they are not in the same sector?
Oh, this is tiring really. I really feel that I've jumped from the train before crashing! With periods of discounts that much much longer than without discounts, I suspect that Cakewalk will be able to survive much longer. It doesn't attract hobbyists and it doesn't attract professionals, so who is the happy audience that using Sonar?
For me, I don't care really! I have abandoned all Cakewalk's products, so I have nothing to worry about. I don't want to waste my time again with Sonar, and even if they give it to me (Platinum) for free, I won't touch it (Really!).
