Hi Jesse and all, here is another Mac Newby. Like Jesse, I have been using sonar for years, and I'm interested in the differences between both daws. I don't think I will be giving up sonar soon, because it took me years to feel comfortable with it, but my goal is slightly different. I just bought a six-month-old MacBook Pro, and I want to use it as a portable studio with ProTools, and a decent soundcard of course. So in fact, I will be using both daws for different types of projects, and probably transfer things from one to another. Hope someone else on this list has been using both and can give us some advice. Best regards Jean-Philippe Rykiel http://www.facebook.com/jprykiel http://myspace.com/jeanphilipperykiel
