"Sonar 4 is king"

Feature:
Most useful features are the quick track splits and fades, and the huge effects libraries both DXi and other audio.

Quality:
Super reliable, awesome CPU usage monitor as well as disk space monitor, product interface has no flaws that i've found so far.

Value:
for sure

Desirability:
SUPER HOT

Sound:
I've tried many multitrack recording sequencers, and this tops them all by far. The sound i've gotten using this and my EMU 0404 soundcard has been amazing. Great program.

Ease of Use:
Very simple and good help resources available, super easy to use.

Overall:
never switching
