Mike,
Would you be willing to describe the event list editing in Logic in more detail?
Also, tell us more about the updates that are causing elements of Sobar to fail
under windows seven.

Out of curiosity, which updates in specific are breaking sonar/ct? I haven't
seen any out of the norm behavior with the latest updates, but i'm curious if
you have.

Okay I'd better chime in here.
The whole discussion keeps on comeing back to this list on the discussion on
whether Mac is better than PC.
I'm not here to bash On whether the Mac is better Than the PC, however,
they both have differences in their environments and there are changes
unfortunately it's the honest to goodness truth Windows 7 is not going to be
around forever unfortunately..
Agreed with DJX that there is a learning curve in learning the Mac, its a
matter of getting use too.
Logic Pro in the last couple of days also is growing, and we now have access
to the most common things like event list editing, patching instruments,
routing effects, cutting pasting and copying audio regions, and mixing are
all accessible to Logic Pro since the last couple of days.
Even shortcut keys like the letter S solo and muting tracks with the letter
M is all done.
Unfortunatly folks and this is the honest truth, Nothing is going to compare
with CT because no other DAW software in accessible is going to compare to CT
unfortunatly.
The point is and you have to ask yourself this question, we need to move
ahead, and despite some limitations to both Logic Pro, GarageBand Protools
one can still produce great sounding work.
Agreed with DJX that you need to spend some time at an Apple Store getting
use to the OSX, however at some point you need to jump ship, because like
said even with Windows 10 is not like windows 7 unfortunatly,
You cannot compare the Mac. Because the Mac works differently then the pc.
Nevil and this is not to bash CT because I still love it on my Windows 7
system however
Even the newest updates that are coming out with Windows 7.
Are causing certain Plug-ins in CT and sonar not to function.
I know Neville that you're having a hard time trying to choose what you want
to go but the best advice I can give you is think about it and do some
shopping and whatever you decide I and everyone here on List are here to
support you
, My Mac has never given me any problems whatsoever in the last six years.
Everything works beautifully not perfectly but beautifully. I don't regret
going the Mac and using Logic Pro with GarageBand and ProTools,
And love windows 10 so far
And I'm starting to use Samplitude too and look forward in training my
customers and clients.
Neville, and this goes for everyone on the list,
When considering a system Take your time and make the best purchase that
you can for the budget that you have and what you need that's the most
important thing

New macs can't run windows 7, so in that sense, your dualboot would have to
be with windows 8.1 and up, unless you got an older mac. That might throw a
wrench in your keeping sonar plans. There are other ways to dualboot macOS
and win7, but that's a discussion outside this scope :)
You also want to be aware of hardware upgrade limitations on macs, and
Apple's ecosystem locks. I'm not bashing macs either, just pointing out some
things you might want to be aware of. Macs are good machines, though in my
opinion and evaluation as a tech, overpriced for what they offer in terms of
power and performance.
There's also the operating system changes between windows and mac, and
something to get use to. I use both systems and can tell you the differences
can make it or break it for you and depending on your needs and your
expected use. But discussing os differences would be a bit OT for the list.
My advice, if you want to consider the purchase of a mac, spend a
considerable/good amount of time (E.G. Hours) at an apple store using mac
os. Use it the way you expect your system to be used, see if it meets your
expectations. macOS is not the same as iOS, and neither is accessibility.
This is a common misconception many people have when they jump ships;
unfortunately some realize this truth when they notice the ship is full of
water and sinking, and the old ship is long gone... :)
Regarding daw software,
As far as i know, logic, garageBand are usable on the mac, and pro tools is
making great strides. notice I used the word usable, as it can be used,
regardless of how extensive the usability is. I didn't say acxessible,
since for the most part, that word means different things to different
people in terms of accessibility and the expectation thereof.

Hey guys,
My Daw has been dead for the past two weeks. I just had it confirmed to me
yesterday. Looks like I had a power surge while I was out of town that fried
my motherboard.
I have been considering switching to Mac for a while and now seems like as
good a time as any. However I realize that Learning the Mac Environment and
whatever DAW I choose will take a while. I want to keep sonar around so that
I can continue working on my old projects if I need to and most likely, I
will need to get into them every once in a while.
I have heard about duel boot systems from those on this list, but I really
don't know much about them or if a system like that would meet my needs. I
would really appreciate any advice from those who are seasoned users of duel
boot systems. I would also appreciate advice from you Mac users on what kind
of DAW should I get, what are the specs on the system I should be looking
out for and any accessibility issues I may encounter.
May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus.
