Hi, I've been away for a little while. I'm guessing it's been discussed before but since it seems to have come up here I wonder about upgrading from Sonar and CT 6 to 8. What is the cost? Also, will my JAWS version 8 be adequate? Finally, I have an Axiom 49 midi controller. I would love it if I could easily make use of the cool knobs and faders with the newer Sonar 8. Any answers or input will make my day. Many thanks. I found that the audio engine in Sonar 5 was better (at least more pleasing to me) than Sonar 6. I am also encouraged about the lower Cpu load as I start to get slowdowns etc. even with my dual core 4 G comp.

I will tell you a little bit. 1. look on cakewalk.com for the features of sonar8. What ever you have for synths. sonar 8 comes with synths wich are very very good. Sonar 8 and CT8 are very good together. nor breaks and other problems. I used sonar 6 and upgraded to sonar 8 producer. it is wonderful. You can work with audio. the audioengine is new. it sounds better than every previus version. If you ask me I would say, Buy sonar 8 producer. There are very new plugins. the tube leveler, the transien shaper, the - oh don#t know what else. a wonder ful sonitus suite. there are many things better then in sonar 4. I started with sonar 6. it is much better than sonar 4. sonar 8 is much better then sonar 6. so upgrade. good luck. regards, robert. PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
