We know that we need to use Finale/Sibelius etc. I have Sibelius and Notion there are 2 problems with this scenario:ġ) What I need is the ability to compose with usable notation INSIDE A DAW.Ģ) Without an export to Music XML function this process is a huge time sucking nightmare."Īs vintagevibe says, the problem is not the quality of the notation produced by the Staff View after composing is completed.

Sure it's extra money, but you get a nice professional scoring program that'll do the job at a reasonable cost. Export midi files to Finale, and get your scores there. Thank you for this post, you seem to have hit on the answer.
#CAKEWALK SONAR X1 UPGRADE#
But I have refused and will refuse to upgrade until Notation is at least brought up to par with your competitors.Ī reply from anyone at CAKE would be appreciated.
I have bought many upgrades of Cakewalk/Pro Audio/Sonar (still have the floppy disk of v1.0 of 20 years ago!). Anyone still wondering why Sonar is not taken seriously in the music industry? Try imagining if Photoshop color systems replaced by a poor kiddie like "paint-by-numbers"? Of course, no professionals would take PS seriously!!!Ĭake, MANY of us are trained musicians and maybe you need to be reminded that NOTATION is the language of music! It's sooooo overdue! As someone mentioned, it's been well over 10 years without any kind of serious attention to this feature.Īnd ditto with how subpar this feature is compared to competitors! Are you paying attention Cake? Do you know how advanced Notation is in ALL the major competitors?Īlso very tired to see how you are catering to the "loopy-paint-by-numbers crowd". +1 to all the above posts on abysmal Notation feature of Sonar!!!!
#CAKEWALK SONAR X1 SOFTWARE#
So I have to look at the cost of hardware and the software upgrade, along with the current staff view limitations and weigh them against what X1 actually offers in the way of usability, stability and enabling the creative process.Īnd then I'll have to make a decision. I only use staff view for data editing and creation - no printing for me, but the current limitations with tied tuplets and embedded rests is irritating. I don't want to rain on the X1 parade - it looks like there have been great improvements made with regard to workflow - and the software isn't even out yet.īut when it appears that even fixing problems in the staff view, let alone redesigning it are not a priority, combined with having to buy a newer computer to run X1, I'm going to have to carefully weigh my options. Why do Protools, Logic, Cubase and Performer think they are important? Cakewalk seems to have decided that scoring is not important. Rewire is flawed, cumbersome, time sucking workaround. Great software and I still love Sonar, but how long can one man hold his breath?
Each year I get a little bit more disapointed in Cakewalk's obvious lack of interest in doing anything about the notation view.
#CAKEWALK SONAR X1 32 BIT#
All the "real" competitors offer almost all the functionality of Noton INSIDE the DAW (admittedly usually at more cost), not as an re-wire option. Rewire only works in 32 bit any way and generally sucks as workaround. This is just a workaround and not the sollution. I am now composing mostly in Notion and then record live instruments in Sonar.
Last year they at least offered some workaround by offering the Notion pack. Cake has been saying it is on the cards for many years. Sonar is very bad at leger lines, and so am I I know what to do, and what it should sound like, but doing it with my hands escapes me. I quit playing the saxophone after a week in the 5th grade and switched to the tuba. It lets me write them in concert pitches, never could think transposed. I already drive some people crazy by using tenor C-clef for my French horns. One REALLY NICE FEATURE would be the ability to introduce a new clef in the middle of the piece, or an 8va, 8vb, loco marker set. I do my scoring in Sonar then export to Finale for the human players and singers.
#CAKEWALK SONAR X1 PRO#
I have learned to live with the idiosyncrasies of the staff view, it is essentially unchanged since Pro Audio 9, which I think is about 10 years now. It will save me HOURS and HOURS and HOURS. This would be worth the 99 bucks to me ALONE. Does the new Skylight interface allow me to "dock" a few staff views? My "scoring pad" has far too many staves to be viewed in a single staff view, and I must constantly be changing my staff view to different groupings of instruments in order to complete my work. I'm one of the "old" guys around here who learned to orchestrate on a paper score. We do still hope to enhance the Staff View more substantially in the future under the framework of the new Skylight interface
