DAW has become another buzzword that gets tossed around a lot without a clear definition. I always defined Digital Audio Workstation as the software I use with a minor consideration of the computer it is running on. If you accept that as a workable definition, then let me report that the computer is a Dell 2.2ghz dual core laptop with 4gb of RAM. I likely have more computer there than half the users on this forum.

The software component is Sonar 7.0.2

I really don't want to have to go back to Sonar and playing every note into every measure, tapping in drum parts, etc.... this is why I bought BIAB. However, if I am going to spend most of my time reinstalling BIAB, resetting to factory defaults (the other popular bandwagon reply to every problem posted), and generally fooling around when I am supposed to be writing, then trying to use this software was a waste of my time and my money.

It simply needs to be FAR more user friendly.


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
