Hello everyone...again. My new post is about DAWs. I started into recordings using Sonar 8.5 64bit, borrowed from a friend of mine. When I started some lessons on recording and mixing, the instructor told me everything in Cubase 5.
Now I'm between two Sonar X1 or Cubase 6.
I need them for Recording - Mixing & Mastering.

Actually, I've never used Sonar before. I've used cubase all the way back since VST 3.8 I think it was. It really is just what you are comfortable with. You might want to consider Reaper. A lot of people swear by it and it's free to use without any crippling of the software and only $40 or so to buy the license that even entitles you to free upgrades.

Fair enough....but if you love both....what you do ??? Sonar has it's pros and cons the same for Cubase !!!!

It is 64 ready.....I have the X1 demo, I love the X1 but I can't manage the MIDI Editor. I think Cubase has more easy MIDI Editor...here comes the comfusion....I love both programs but they have some pros and cons !!!! I'm really confused !!! Damn it !!! What should I do !!!

if you can't manage the midi editor, why would you be considering Sonar. Asking this question is not something we can help you with. The better DAW is the one you are able to work with (workflow). Neither sounds better.
If I was paying you by the hour to record or produce or master my music, which one would you be able to work with better?
If one is better at mastering for you, but you record and mix better with the other, buy both or learn how to use the one that gets A to Z faster and more proficient. Do the math.

This is what I was thinking at last....I think this is the right think to do !

Sonar X1. Based on the fact that while they are both definitely excellent choices Sonar's Customer support is excellent while Steinberg Nuendo/Cubase is notoriously awful. They have a lousy forum and are little help to anyone. Certainly can't say that about Cakewalk. Heck the CEO often post's in the Cakewalk forum as does all the go to important folks at Cakewalk.
I have them both and Use Sonar exclusively.

It sounds to me to be a matter of personal preference. Which feels more comfortable to use? Which do you think you have a better understanding of? Any of the major software programs are full featured. It comes down to which you like better.
