Sonar X2 Video

Had toyed with Sonar in the past, but felt it was too clunky. Here is a very...long video:

I've personally used tons of DAWs. Sonar X2 looks extremely flexible and well thought out. Very impressive. Anybody using this?

Nice, now their piano roll works more like the Cubase piano roll.

Yeah they def copied some stuff from Cubase...and everyone else. Honestly X2 looks like a collection of some of the better features of all DAWs. Which IMO is a good thing.

Trying to budget a Studio PC upgrade and I'm hoping this will be part of it.

The academic version of producer is only $299 fyi.

I am now going to watch that video. As a long time Sonar user who JUST got X2, I'm having a hell of a time finding everything in the new interface. Like I just want to try out my midi keyboard but I can't find anyplace to assign inputs, outputs, or even set the sounds I want to use. I'll let you know as I get used to it and after I've watched the video.

They used something called Matrix view to create a song from a bunch of loops. That's really new and interesting to me, although I probably wouldn't ever compose my own songs that way. It looks amazing never the less. There's a REALLY impressive looking guitar amp simulator also. WOW!

The Matrix is similar to a main feature of Ableton Live. Can be extremely to create and perform drum parts on the fly. Also really good for creating happy accidents.
