Sonar vs Cubase. Now, I know that this is an age old debate, so let me start with saying that I'm not trying to compare the two as far as personal preference, but I'm more concerned with hacking through the likes and dislikes and getting to the meat of the subject as far as features are concered.
I would like to move into using Cubase as from what I've read it's what most people at the "top" use with sample libraries and Vienna Instruments. My logic, however flawed, would tell me that's because it's actually more powerful. Now that Sonar 7 has been released with added MIDI functions, I'd be tempted to assume that it's actually more powerful than Cubase. However, I don't have very much experiance with Cubase, so I'm wondering if anybody here as had experiance with both and can help lay out the specific advantages and/or disadvantages of each over the other.
There seems to be this idea that Sonar is "semi-pro" and that other sequencers... such as Pro Tools... are "pro," but as I've compared the two, in my opinion Sonar stomps on Pro Tools. My theory is that its just because PT came first. I wonder if the same it true for Cubase, or if Cubase is actually more powerful. I don't mean to open a can or worms, so hopefully that's not what happens, but does anybody have experiance with both when related to VSL who could offer some insight? [:D]
