Brian, First of all, again, I'm not meaning to be rude either, but with all do respect, you completely! misunderstood the nature of my messages. You totally red between the lines!
Never once did I mean to imply that Sonar would be more or less accessible for everyone. If you read my mail again, you'll see that I said by far and away for quote: me! End quote, at least PT was more accessible. I don't recall anywhere me saying it was more accessible over all or less for everyone and every need. What exactly is it in PT that you're having issues with in the midi aspect. Maybe I just haven't yet ventured far enough along to understand, but thus far, I've had no issue at all doing midi on the PT side of things. At this rate, this is going to turn into a list war flame. I already can see it coming, so please from this point forward write me off list at clgillan...@gmail.com if you have any more comments/questions. I'm not clutterring the list with this thread any longer. I do however feel someone asked for input which I gave my opinion on, and I also feel in all do respect, you completely mis-interpreted the context of my msgs, but hey, that's ok, it won't be the first time anyone has done that, and honestly I'm sure it won't be the last. I'm willing to agree to respectfully disagree. Chris. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Casey To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 4:18 PM Subject: Re: Pro tools or Sonar? Hi Chris, I'm not trying to say your wrong, but I think we need to be careful in saying which is more accessible, and its very dependent on someones needs/wants. If someone wants to do a lot of midi stuff and audio in equal amounts or whatever, Sonar on a feature for feature basis would probably be technically more accessible depending on the scripts being used. Add to that the possibility of creating hot spot sets for jaws and it presents very different accessability to ProTools. So I'm not saying your wrong but its not a simple black or white issue. Perhaps you didn't take to the way things were done in sonar, as you seem to be taking to ProTools like a duck to water, but many make a living and achieve success with sonar, so you know, lets try to give as full a picture as possible to anyone trying to make a decision on what is a relatively big investment/commitment. I'm glad you feel the way you do about PT though, I wasn't as posative, but I didn't have a chance to throw myself into it fully and reading about your quick learning on it and excitement about the platform gives me hope that I'll at least learn PT as another skill in my bag of tricks some time in the near future.

In a lot of ways, I personally find it to be as accessible, if not more.

Hello Chris, I agree with you but do you think that Protools is even accessible as Sonar?

For one thing, do realize that on the Windows side of things, ProTools is going to be almost useless. If you get a mac, it works almost flawlessly. I would recommend PT by far and away over Sonar! The effects are way better, the sound is way better, and honestly, over all things I find at least, are just way easier to do in PT in a whole. Plus, Sonar is not industry standard, where as ProTools is. Any good major recording studio is going to have most likely one, if not more, ProTools systems that they can use. So ultimately, I'd suggest PT, but that is me.

I am going to be setting up a small recording studio with in the next 6 months or so and I am currently doing some research in to which digital audio work station to use. I have decided to use either Pro tools, or Sonar, but I thought that I would first ask on this list if anyone has had experience in using either product, and what were there thoughts on using each one. Many thanks for your help on this, regards.
