That sonar program actually looks pretty easy to use from that screenshot.. I'm probably wrong though. Got me GAS'ing for a bigger hard drive and DFH/Sonar now :lol: Is the cubase screen anything like that or not?

Most MIDI apps work in a similar way with the piano roll thing. Considering how much stuff SONAR can do, it's remarkably easy to use I think.

Cakewalk also do something called Guitar Tracks Pro, which is specifically geared towards guitarist/songwriters. It's limited to a maximum of 32 audio tracks in each project (should be ample for most stuff) but is cheaper than SONAR (I think it uses the same audio engine underneath though). Not used it myself, but if it's even half as polished as SONAR it should be really good. :)

EDIT: Actually, having looked at that page in more depth it doesn't seem too obvious about whether it can do MIDI or not... :?

I've used these guys quite a bit for music gear, and bought my DFHS from them. They seem a bit cheaper than somewhere like Soho Soundhouse and Turnkey, etc:

Pretty fast service too, next day usually.

I'd just like to say that I'm in no way affiliated with them, just a customer who's bought from them a few times.

Forgot to say, there's an official forum here: http://www.toontrack.com/forum/

Can't remember if you have to register the software before you gain access, but it's a good idea to register as they have bug-fixes and stuff for download too (plus bonus files like the drum maps I mentioned)
