Earl,

I haven’t done any recording in a few years, but I do have several DAW’s.

Using a dual boot system between XP 32 and Win 7 64, I have Sonar 4 PE, Cakewalk Home Studio 2004XL, Tracktion 3 Ultimate Bundle (what a total POS, LOL), Logic for Windows using Roland SI-24 for RPC-1 PCI card, and Real Band.

I’ve never used RB, but my favorite of the others is Sonar, followed with Home Studio. RB looks very similar to Logic, but probably doesn’t go as deep.

The question is, for the home enthusiast, do they need more than RB? Even though I have an old version of Sonar, it does much more than I could ever want or need.

The point is, most DAW’s do more than most folks at home even know how to use!

So why pay through the nose when all you want to do is lay down a few tracks?

Bob
