It is better built than the FW1884, but the control panel's accessibility, and 
its Sonar support, are worse.

If you want to use Sonar and Pro Tools with the same surface, though, you need 
to use the ProjectMix. I haven't found anything else that works well with both.

Hey Bryan, I've been hearing about the project mix, what are your thoughts on 
it?

Sorry, I can't help. The V-Studio was kind of out of my budget. It really 
annoyed me that, as a Cakewalk user going all the way back to the Pro Audio 
days, they were basically going to make me re-buy Sonar Producer. Plus, the 
package included features that I don't need. Who in their right mind, building 
a huge modern DAW, would think that paying big bucks for a unexpandable module 
version of the Roland Fantom would be a good idea? I'm trying to get *away* 
from hardware synths. The last thing that I want to do right now in Sonar is 
spend time tracking in external hardware synths. So, re-buy Sonar Producer 
(which I already own), and get a crippled Fantom XR (which I don't need), all 
for the insane price of more than $4,000. I'll pass. I could have bought an 
FW1884, a real Fantom XR, and saved over a thousand bucks.

Plus, I needed something that was Pro Tools compatible, and the Cakewalk stuff 
isn't. I ended up getting a ProjectMix. I got a good deal on mine, but, even if 
you paid retail, you can get them for around $1,400.

Cakewalk was smoking something really good when they dreamed up and priced the 
V-Studio stuff. Hardly anyone wants a crippled Fantom XR module, but I think 
they had to put that in so that Roland could make some money off of the 
V-Studio. I don't know what the deal was with forcing Sonar customers to re-buy 
Sonar, though. The whole thing just seemed pretty insulting to me.

Hi Lenn!
 
I am using the V100 as a console for 8.5 it works but at the moment i have som 
slider volume control problems. I have never used it together with the V100 
software, so i do not know how it works as a complete product.  I hope to make 
more use of the input section controle options. There is a pan and gain and 
also controls for reverb and compressor on the console. But so far i have not 
managed to make it work. Infact i hope Bryan may be reading this notice and 
have some idears. there is only one driver for the V100 and it seems not to be 
working perfectly with Sonar 8.5  So any ideers will be grate.
 
But as a soundcard it works very well and have possible 4 tracks in and out.
 
Take care!
 
Dennis
