you can find someone else using and doing the same thing and it works fine. Sonar would prob be fine for audio and vst effects inserts/sends.For every person that has problems with something. Cubase is elegant and works for these purposes. I just don't think it's a good choice if you are going to get heavily into vstis. But I tried for 3 months straight to get Sonar to work. That said, my machine is modest, but it's generally a well-running little clock of a machine. Of course, a badly running machine, lack of resources, etc, can be big factors, as well. It's certainly dangerous to generalize about the complex software beasts we know as DAWs - but it's usually my thinking that when many folks don't have problems with a given DAW but some do, that plug ins may be the culprit, at least in part. I haven't had the same stability in recent years - but, again, I can mostly trace that back to a few specific plugs. a number of years when other programs would lock up or even crash the whole OS (we're talking Win 95 and 98 days, basically). I can say that - before I got into plugs heavily - I'd only had one destructive crash of Cakewalk Pro Audio/Sonar over a number of years. (I've since excluded them from Sonar's plug registry.) I've had a couple crashes not related to BFD, but those seemed clearly to be at the hands of other plugs that were accidentally loaded, that weren't appropriate to realtime use in a DAW. It runs fine for the most part - as long as I don't start tinkering too much with its cute little animated interface while the sequence is running (which, you know, is a pretty good time, otherwise, to tinker). The only one that is a real problem is BFD 1.5. Basically, I can trace my problems to one of several plug ins. I find Sonar 6 to have been pretty stable for the several years I've been using it.
