I have Sonar 3, Producer Edition.. Is this out dated, or still usable.???

That's pretty old, Sonar is up to X1 version now (which superseded 8.5). I have a home studio using Sonar X1 Producer (and working on learning Pro Tools).

You could find a newer version on eBay cheap. I just saw Sonar 5 Producer edition for $20. Didn't look very long but I'm sure there are even better deals.

I have both sonar 5 and 6 and Pro Audio 9.
Pro Audio is what, 10 years or more older, but I still like
to use it. It's just simpler. Works for me and what I do.

Yep. It still does what it did then. But there's "more better" stuff now.

If you are the registered owner of Sonar 3, the upgrade to X1 Producer is $199. I have every iteration of Sonar from 2XL thru X1C Producer Expanded. There are some very nice VST effects and instruments that you would aquire.

As a loyal Cake user for many years I don't suggest buying older used versions off ebay. It is illegal to sell your older Sonar versions. Every registered owner signs a agreement not to resale.

There are several authorized Cakewalk dealers selling older and new versions both on EBAY and online. Here is a link to the authorized dealers. http://www.cakewalk.com/Dealers/online.aspx

I just opened my studio and use the Sonar X2 Producer
Wow there's a lot of cool stuff on there.
I record through an analog console and it all ends up in Sonar.

WC. I'm now using Sonar X2 Producer 64 bit version.

Lots of goodies included.

Hi Jack,
Yep, that's the same one I'm using.
The 64 bit version.
