What our customer's say!

"Powerful but Not Easy", I bought Sonar 7 PE because I hard it was the best, and I didn't want to waste my time on the less expensive versions, as I figured I'd end up upgrading eventually anyway.

Sonar 7 has a lot of cool features, and it's very powerful. That's where the 3 stars come in.

Unfortunately, it is maddeningly frustrating to learn. Here's an example. I hit play and get about half a second of sound before getting a "dropout" - basically an error saying that the program has encountered an error and can't play my music. After researching for an hour and trying all the suggestions I could find, I noticed that I did not have the Audio Engine button pressed in. It's sort of like I had the software "unplugged." Couldn't the designers come up with a better message than "Droput" in red?

That's just one example. I have spent many, many hours trying to get my copy of Sonar working consistently. At the moment, it works about every other time I open it for any given project.

I'm not real familiar with Cakewalk's competition, but I'd recommend taking a good look at it before purchasing this product.
