Looks like Cakewalk is going to be shipping the next major upgrade to their flagship recording application later this month. From the looks of it, they've been paying attention to all the feature request threads on their company forum. Almost every major feature request appears to have been implemented. Way cool.
I have to say - I find Cakewalk's attention to their customer base really refreshing. Sonar might not be at the top of everyone's "must have" list but I've been using it for a year now and am 99.9% satisfied with it. Hopefully, the missing .1% will come with Sonar 4

I still have the old Cakewalk Pro 9, the one that does not support VSTs, maybe I will upgrade.

AAAARRRRGGGHHH!
I just upgraded to Sonar 3 three months ago, Cakwalk really does kick out the revisions.
I like Sonar, and I found cutomer supposrt to be very good. I've been using Cakewalk since 8.
Bingo, you will be blown away by the improvements! Each time I upgraded they addressed important GUI issues. The editing got so much better. The jump to Sonar was incredible, and Sonar 2 fixed a lot of issues.
I wonder how much the upgrade is from 9?
They have taken a lot of my money in upgrades over the years...but what can you do, I feel like I've gotten my money's worth each time.

I wonder if they will add a metronome this time around hehe *duh*...
I tested the demo and was like, umm midi sequencer with no metronome hehe, interesting concept, app looks promising, maybe ver 4 will come though..
Cheers!

I believe they have implemented some sort of metronome feature in v4. That was one of the biggest forum feature requests although I personally have no need for one. Didn't quite understand why everyone was screaming for that but oh well. Nice to know it's there if need be.

I have tried the Sonar 4 demo and, when loading, it finds the Creamware card as 'not stereo' and loads up a stack of mono channels... and doesn't work properly. I have tried it with a set of Wave drivers in CW, and a set of Asio drivers. I have used both Wave and Asio successfully before in Cubase SX and Live 4, and also Sonar 3 (half successfully).
I used to use Sonar 3 but it used to crash in Record audio mode (it was a legitimate copy btw!), Cakewalk support never worked out how to fix it.
I am on latest SFP.
Also the TTS synth in Sonar 4 demo just makes a buzzing drone. Weird huh.
The system is stable otherwise, Live etc work fine.
Anyone else have these problems, or a fix?
Thanks all

I've been using Pulsar and Cakewalk together since 1998 (PA8), never had any problems like you are describing. Eveything works fine with Sonar 1, 2, 3.
I'd suggest you seek help on the Cakewalk forum:

Solution to Sonar asio mono / etc problem is to load MME drivers, exit, restart and load ASIO - and it works.
So simple, tip given by someone else on here.
Thanks all
