New Sonar

[jono grant]

Curious about the new Sonar version.

Is it just the same-old with a face-lift?

Have any decades old issues been sorted?

 

Thanks

I am not going to comment on your questions (I'll leave that to others to chime in with their opinions), but I'd really suggest you look here (Sonar 2024 Overview).

I just subscribed to Bandlab. So far, it has a few new features that I like o lot.

The UI resolution is REALLY BETTER.

There are some other things, like the ability to filter the track view according to presets that you create. Very useful.

Start-End Project markers are very handy too.

The responsiveness of the program is better, especially with large projects.

Just one thing is really annoying: the PRV has a mandatory dark background. As the latest release, it's still not possible to change it. You can use light themes, but they are not very nice.

You can try for free 3 days though.

What about the XSampler ? or, does no one use that ?

Have any decades old issues been sorted? . . . the list is very extensive, maybe yours are in there.

To the OP, the new Sonar is a facelift AND many new features and bug fixes. If you want a sense of the difference compared to the old Sonar, try the Cakewalk by Bandlab software. It’s over 5 years of improvements and fixes over the old Sonar. It’s currently free (the news Sonar is rental only.)

Bandlab took CbB and started with the facelift and is now adding features.  It’s as good as anything out there from a feature and performance stand point..

Decades? So what, 2004 and earlier?

Hmm. It still doesn't export .ape files.
