I went to a Sonar 6 demo last night. I am primarily interested in the 64-bit
mix engine and how it sounds. My last experiment with Sonar was several years
ago and I hated the sound.
Zac Kenney from cakewalk gave the demo. Not that it was a surprise, but the
setup was not appropriate to judge audio quality, although I did hear one
acoustic track that may sound very good in a better environment.
Some high-end plug-ins like the Refined Audiometrics PLParEQ EQ work native
in Sonar at 64 bits (Audio engine). I have not heard this yet but is should
be very good. I hope Sony and Algorithmix do the same. The included convolution
reverb also runs native at 64 (as do most of the included plug-ins and some
of the VSTIs). A demo version is not available yet, so I will have to wait.
Audio engine aside, the feature set and ergonomic aspects of Sonar are very
impressive.
Running on a 64 bit OS, Sonar can address all the RAM you would ever need.
A 100 plus track session with streaming video and many VSTIs seemed like
a “walk in the park.” on a dual core PC.
It did crash during the demo, so overall the jury is still out.
