You know what i ment...

I totaly agree with you...

The problem with Sonar is that there aren't much Fxs and i never understood
why they didn't put any Dynamic tools in the original package... Maybe this
has changed since Sonar... but in the past it was not the case... So if he
goes with Sonar he would have to buy extra FXs... But anyway the total price
Sonar+Dynamic Fxs compared with Cubase/Logic/DP's price would be nearly the
same...
And... a good advise Evilataombender, buy it second hand just in case you
would change of mind later.
