From: rr on 13 May 2010 10:04 (re-post from level6productions) Haven't used Sonar in well over a year. Been a user since cakewalk days. Wifey needed me to cut a couple of piano tracks for her last night, which they'd be using in the studio today. Should've been a quickie. I installed Sonar 6 from CD (new machine), then set it up to work with my Lexicon Lambda. Everything seemed to be working on audio tracks but she wanted me to cut midi, then quantize (we won't go into why). I spent about 4-5 of the most frustrating hours I've ever had, trying to get that MF thing to work right. It'd work for a minute, then fritz and I'd end up having to delete the synth plug, then re- install (piano). Finally, after some very tense moments with wifey and around 1am, I gave up, routed the midi back to the keyboard, and recorded the external board back into an audio track. I'm wondering if any of you regular sonar users know about any midi bugs in S6? That sheeeet just ain't worth the trouble. Any other DAWs you'd recommend?

Have they improved it much the past few years?

I use Home Studio 6 all the time, and live midi tracks from an electronic YAmaha drum brain, which i send to ToonTrack EZ drummer. Never had any kind of problem with it, at all.

Did you install the updates to Sonar 6? I seem to remember that one had a few noticeable bugs when it came out, but they were fixed by later patches. I never install a new Sonar until the first patch is out. :-) Cheers, Martin On 10-05-13 07:04 AM, rr wrote: > (re-post from level6productions) > > Haven't used Sonar in well over a year.
