Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

brainztain,

btw: nice name

I'm curious about your switch to Cubase from Sonar, because I'm 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.

Basically, I noticed that Sonar seems to be getting more popular and Cubase less. I also notice the price differences, it seems that Sonar is more reasonablly priced, feature for feature, etc.

And the other reason is the GNX interface, so I can drive Sonar from my GNX guitar pedalboard without having to go to the computer keyboard. As a guitarist/engineer it makes life easier.

For me, using Cubase with the DDX or the BCF has been a very 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.

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.

Hi,

Maybe you could help me. I have a BCR 2000 and cubase and I have not got it to work. It sees a few random knobs,buttons and sliders, but other than that i'm clueless.

Thank you for any assistance,

Marc
