I am looking to switch from my Mac/MOTU setup to a Built PC (AMD Opteron) and Sonar 5 PE. I have tryed the Sonar Demo and researched it a bit, but I would like to know if anybody here uses it with 64bit windows and if so what they think of it. Also:

1. Is it hard to find interface drivers for Windows 64 (looking to get a couple of Focusrite Saffire Pros)?

i have Sonar 4 producer addition installed and worked fine until today.
i have my work saved in a file it does not contain any audio tracks i.e only midi tracks on which i recorded with one vst plugin , file was saved by me, due to an improper shutdown (power failure) when i try to open the file an error message is shown.

Watch out, newbie question coming! I bought Saffire with Cubase LE and had also just bought Sonar 5. With MIDI I have no problems at all but can't get an audio signal in from the mic to the software.

I'm thinking about getting Sonar 5 x64. I'd like to know if any of you guys & gals are using it and how you feel about it. Also, since I'm looking to build a new PC, please let me know what PC hardware you are using.

Thanks,
Angus

most likely someone has asked this but i did a search and a lot of stuff(some that didnt even go with it) showed up. but here's my question in Sonar 4 is there any way that when i go to choose an input for the track that it can just be Mic channel 1 or 2 instead of 1 and 2 in stereo ( 1 coming from the left and 2 coming from the right)?

Hi. I'm pretty muuch getting started on building my studio.

I'm having trouble with importing signal into Sonar 5.

When I moniter the input before recording, I'm where I want to be with my console as well as the meters in sonar. I'm barely in the red, no distortion, everything is great.

I record my track.

I need something comparable to Pitch in time. Im using Sonar 4. The plugin needs to have pitch control independent of tempo. if anyone knows of a good one let me know. Thanks.

Hello, i have been looking into purchasing a home studio type deal, I'm not all to formilliar with everything

i went to two music stores and both had a completely different out look

one said to get the MBox2 because its the easiest to set up and is great for starting up

the other said to get a firepod w/ Sonar 5

Anyone using Sonar 5 yet? I especially would like to hear from someone that has Sonar 5 with Win x64. I was looking for reviews on this but a quick google search just seems to find a bunch of sites that sell Sonar5 and the only reviews I was able to find were on Cakewalk's website!

I use Sonar 4 and a Tascam us122. Windows XP

Im trying to export a song from Sonar in wav form however when i export it then try to play it windows media player says it cant find the codec.

I should add that I have done this hundreds of times without problems. I must have this song done before tomorrow! please help!
