I often wonder why Cakewalk offers most of their 3rd party plug ins for mac, yet they don't seem to be interested in porting Sonar over to mac. I've no doubt that Apple, Motu and Avid would have concerns if Cakewalk did this as Sonar seems like a very full featured DAW, especially now with the introduction of Sonar XI. Understand for mac. I'm certain that it would give Logic a very big run for it's money with the much lower $399 price tag for the Producer version with all it's instruments, fx and other goodies.

I heard a number of times that Steinberg never had any intentions of porting Wavelab to Mac. Well they did it and they did it in style with Wavelab 7:) Pity I'm not overenthusiastic about Steinberg as a company or else I'd bit the bullet and get Wavelab.
Obviously you can runn Windows on a Mac but if I wanted to run Windows, I'd buy a PC! I've always maintained that (God forbid!) if I had a Windows based set up, I'd use Sonar simply because it offers big bang for the buck and there seems to be much less issues with Sonar than with Cubase (judging by online user communities and forums). I'd seriously look into perhaps even converting to Sonar if it was natively available for Mac OSX and I'm sure that Apple and MOTU pray that this doesn't occur because there are probably many DP and Logic users who are thinking the same way!
Jun 21, 2011 - SONAR X1 Producer has everything needed to deliver the polished, radio-ready recordings that are expected in today's music industry--all in. Feb 22, 2012 forkol Hm, I've been thinking about this lately, and I'm thinking that with the current Sonar, no, they should not port it to MAC. However, if there's a newly re-designed version, then YES. Sonar is a security tool that provides real-time reporting of file changes on your hard drive. It is a useful diagnostic tool and an invaluable aid for anyone who is serious about computer security. Sonar reports file system activity.
