- The installation is done it without problems?
Absolutely no problem. It starts the setup and everything is done, the software finds the directory of the old versions, adapting their plugins, and fixes it.

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
Having a midi interface M-Audio Midiman I do not know, but as it dates back to walk with this software recently, I see no reason that other stuff .. foirent

- The general configuration is easy?
It is a software sequencer, you know. In the first approach it is completely dropped, and then after it goes alone. Working with versions 2 and 3 of the software before, I immediately found my bearings, and discovered with joy a few new features including the absence bothered me a little aupravant

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Topics aid is very well made, several useful tutorials to make the soft hand (recording / editing audio / midi, VSTS, ect ...). I have not had to use yet, but I had a look of curiosity, and I can say that a beginner would find his account.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- What is the configuration of your computer? (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk / sound card ..)
Windos XP, Pentium4 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM, SoundBlaster Audigy (sic).

- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
Yes, no problem, very stable, I had a big crash once and I had not saved my work from a lead, but recovered SONAR work session and made a backup before planting ... Cakewalk thank you.

- What performance? (If quantifiable)
Nickel, good sound quality, you can run a lot of live effects, synths ... Obviously, at some point it Gave a little memory, but it's inevitable, is not it? I do not use control interface with any hardware yet.

- This software + hardware is stable?
Equipment?

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I started working with SONAR two years ago, when I came into the world of computer music. I love everything about this software, especially since it supports VST natively. The graphical interface is very readable, unlike Logic example that I find ugly and unpleasant. In addition it is very flexible and fast enough after all took over (one year for an hour or two a week, no more, and I know a big part of the functions). I had the opportunity to put my hands on Cubase SX3, which I hated, in terms of ergonomics that software can not hold a candle to sonar in my opinion.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
The +: um, just about everything in fact. Ah anyway, you can record MIDI tracks to audio directly within SONAR without having to fiddle with the sublime mix of windose table. And that's class.
The -: I need some MIDI control surfaces, but it has little to do with cakewalk: p

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I worked with SONAR 2 and 3, and I also tried Cubase. SONAR 6 is my favorite software.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
The cast is quite honest in relation to the many uses you can make soft and fun and the quality of work it provides.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, without hesitation. Vive SONAR, it is unfortunate that this sequencer is not more prevalent in our green lands ....
