I don't think it's a question of system specs - I think it depends on how hard you push it...Robert Randolph wrote:Could you post your system specs? And your average uses? I wonder if they are drastically different than mine?
It seems weird that all the people who had problems Ive seen, were demoing it. And all the purchasers have had no problems? Ive yet to hear of someone leaving sonar because of these problems.. only people not buying it because of.
Is the demo severly bugged maybe!?!
Well I've used a number of different systems. Now I'm using a 2.8 Prescott on ASUS board. I just finished a 3.6 that I'm testing now. I use Raptor drives...Intel chipset.Robert Randolph wrote:Could you post your system specs? And your average uses? I wonder if they are drastically different than mine?

So you are suggesting that I don't push it very hard? That all people who have a good experience with Sonar are just "light" users that play around with small projects? I hope not, because if so, you are dead wrong. Maybe you have as well, but I've been using this stuff for a right long while...back since the very first sequencers. I know what pushing a system is and believe me, if I couldn't push Sonar to do relatively complex projects I would toss it. For the record, I used to HATE Pro Audio and I wasn't a Sonar user until fairly recently so I'm not one of those people that just blindly defends their purchases or choices. Music has always been my life and there's no way I'd use a substandard tool to get it done.jens wrote:I don't think it's a question of system specs - I think it depends on how hard you push it...Robert Randolph wrote:Could you post your system specs?

I suppose so, but I do play keys, guitar, bass, and do vocals so I do use lots of audio tracks. I'll admit right away that Smplitude's editing is more full featured than Sonar's. In fact it is more full featured than just about anything out there IMHO.Robert Randolph wrote:Ah see lorez, I dont use ANY virtual instruments in my music. I just record. all audio in, and heavy wav editing....
That could certainly be part of the difference in experience.
I'm not sure what you are referring to? I didn't take anything as a personal attack and I definitely don't identify myself with anything written in binary.Robert Randolph wrote:Whoa lorez, this isnt a personal attack on you. We're talking about software.
Relax. It's easy to get all flustered when you identify yourself with the software you use, but there's no need for it.
No one said anythign directed at you, or insinuated anything. Let's keep the discussion happy
I was just trying to give an idea of the level of experience I've had with applications of this nature so that we knew what level we are talking on. Sometimes it's easy to dismiss things becaseu there are plenty of people out there who do basic little prjects and never push the machine they are using. Sorry if it seemed otherwise or if I sounded defensive. Just wanted to make sure we ere all on the same page. It's hard to get ideas across in text sometimes. 
Seemed like you felt by saying sonar was in some way inferior, the music you make with it must be as well.Music has always been my life and there's no way I'd use a substandard tool to get it done.
Well I run at various latencies depending on what I'nm doing so there is no constant latency. When tracking I run somewhere between 2-6ms. When mixing, depending on what instruments and effects I have loaded, I will raise the latency to as much as 20ms. This of course depends on how fast the machine I'm using at the time is. With Sonar I have used RME Hammerfall 9636 (ASIO), Delta 1010 (WDM), and Echo Mona (WDM) (as well as others). I also use an Echo Indigo and US-224 on my laptop. I generally don't use the Hammerfall with Sonar anymore because of the lack of WDM drivers.ttoz wrote:LoRez, could you post what latency you are running at and what sound card and whether using wdm or asio?
and i mean what latency you are using constantly.
Oh I see. I hesitated about saying that for fear of that reaction. I only meant that this stuff is important to me and I'm not a "casual" user. Sorry if it seemed defensive as it was in no way meant to be. Thanks for pointing this out in a kind way and trying to keep it all civil.Robert Randolph wrote:Seemed like you felt by saying sonar was in some way inferior, the music you make with it must be as well.Music has always been my life and there's no way I'd use a substandard tool to get it done.
of course no one intended that meaning at all.
But that's where I thought you started feeling personal about it....
What's it like on the sonar forum? People often posting bugs there or just chatting?
