Re: BCF2000 usability with Sonar vs. Cubase

"btw: nice name"
thanks!

I went from Sonar to Cubase because I found the BCF much more 
productive in cubase.  I was able to automate almost every parameter 
without having to set anything up (almost anything).

I used Sonar for about 5 years but ever sine I made the change over 
to Cubase I haven't been missing Sonar's features.  Now, with sonar 
6.... that may be a different story since it has so many new fatures, 
but the BCF will still keep me on the Cubase side.

If changing over to sonar will allow you to have better control of 
you DAW over your control surface then do it.  BUT, make sure you 
KNOW it will help.  A lot of people using SONAR 6 have been 
complaining about having puchased SONAR because of thier new MIDI 
control feature (forgot what it's called), which doesn't even work 
with the BCF2000... I was about ready to jump over to SONAR again, 
fortunately my friend let me install my BCF on his DAW running Sonar 
6 to see how it would work... no improvement.

I know what you mean about making your own little paper! I did that 
myself.  So many button combinations can get you all confused. Brain 
overload!

good luck and peace out.

thinking of going the other way myself and wonder what made you 
change over. I'm not really influenced by the BCF, I use one, but my 
main mixer is a DDX3216, so I have digital control over it.

Sonar is more reasonablly priced, feature for feature, etc.

complex venture gettting it all configurd. I made my own paper 
template to help me remember the slider/know functions, too. This 
helps once it's all done. But the time spent getting it all working 
was almost not worth the results for me. I was hoping that Sonar and 
maybe TranzPort would be user friendlier, also coupled with the GNX 
for start/sop/record.
