Hi Joe,
I guess I use Sonar because it's what I'm use to using as my DAW.
I've been playing around with Realband a little bit, but still feel more comfortable using Sonar at this point.
the bottom line really is the learning curve, at least for me.
I'd rather spend the time working on the music and not learning another peace of software.
Eventually when inspiration dries up and I have more time on my hands I still wanna learn Realband.
