A couple of years ago, i was anti-software big time. I had tried Cubase and Cakewalk and never found it user-friendly. Until i tried Logic!! Don't ask me why, but i just went in and understood almost everything instantly. The environnement is daunting at first but once you understand how it works ...
I am on Sonar 4 but i am thinking of going to Logic 7 on a MAC. i am sick of windows and pc problems !! sonar is great but windows #@$^ it up....hanging and crashes galore....even though my pc is tweaked to the max---(MACS -lol) there is nothing wrong with sonar....its what sonar is running on IMHO ...
