Production software audio / video and full trs trs pro. The best of the United States with Digital Performer trs but not yet known in Europe as powerful if not more than a ProTools (the diffrence that sonar uses PC resources and no external cards). It needs a powerful PC anyway (quad core, SATA or SCSI hard drive and 4GB of ram mini) to make the most of this possibility.
Please note this is not a video editing software. He is content to ensure syncho audio / video. To see video editing adobe Premire or Final Cut ...
The manual makes some 1000 pages. If you dare to print it (I did) and you have the courage to read it (I did too) to learn more quickly master this log and you can appreciate his formidable efficiency. Manual in French

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use my intel quad 9300 with 4GB of corsair ram on motherboard ASUS P5E WAS Pro and an RME Fireface 800 for sound card
Vir everything I was not used in windows audio. minimum on the windows to avoid any program that poluent rear plan the system. No internet either for viruses once o no anti virus slows down the machine and functions. It is a PC only for audio.
Note not need internet to install and activate the log (thank you sonar) by dongue not no pirate in sonar. the updates are patches tlchargeables the site via another PC.

Although set up as no problem with the log stable trs, trs little bugg autsave and function effectively.
on the other hand if you plug in and charge synth you can put the machine knees, but be careful when it's tough even with my config I open more than twenty and as many synth plug s virtual. It's heavy.

OVERALL OPINION

I use cakewalk audio 9 cakewalk for sonar and then passing 1 .. 2 .. 3 .. .. 7 .. 5 and now version 8
what I like is the user-friendly software, is clear, customizable colors everything from icons instrument on each track, the windows work ....
Compare cubase brief ....
The comparable price protools, ok it's not the same thing has protools card external grate and plug the PC into a resource unload. But when you see what's inside, plug and high quality synths Trip Builder and see on their site ...

the least ... I do not see too much good you can always find fault but hey ....

Yes I remade this choice without pb.
