Sonar X1

But how many have used the real hardware and really know? So many say it's a true emulation and of course they dont know if its true.

Well the CLA plugins were overseen by CLA himself and modeled on his actual units. But this topic is about Sonar X1 afterall, still the channel compressor might be ok.
 
Sonar just works for me so I'm sure I'll be upgrading. Time to buy some new hardware too, the processor requirements have gone up - time to put a new MB and processor on the Christmas wish list. :) It's about time I go i7 anyways.
 
Speaking of which, I'm having a great time with Sonar + i7 980x (hexacore)... running massive projects with no problems at all.
