"SONAR IS BETTER AND LESS PROBLEMATIC THAN PRO TOOLS OR M AUDIO"

Feature:
kinda easy to work with but I am still new with sonar by far it is ok to use it

Quality:
no problematic at all not like pro tools pro tools is too problematic asking you for the i lok too many updates,errors etc etc sometimes do not recognize the m audio besides m audio products are MUCH PROBLEMATIC!!! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND SONAR 6

Value:
yes it is the typical selling price

Desirability:
mmmm it has too many features sometimes I do not understand them all. But Iam a beginner. too many icons.

Sound:
Good sound till now

Support:
never had the chance to contact them since this product works fine.

Overall:
since I married to pro tools before I could not use any other brand like roland or cakewalk. I could only use m audio but m audio IT IS NOT RELIABLE AT ALL it has many bugs,problems,errors etc etc etc etc... Now I already switched to sonar because it has more compatibilities than pro tools or m audioand it is WAY LESS PROBLEMATIC.

"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
