I learned how to Rewire with Sonar and had a blast keeping everything running to get the best of MIDI instruments in Reason and audio capabilities in Sonar.

At that point, Reason did not include audio recording. By that point I started to mess with Propellerhead Reason.Ģ000-2008 I got deep into Reason 4.0 for the virtual instruments, workflow, and stability. Sonic Foundry eventually sold Acid to Sony, and after a bad support experience with Sony (relating to MiniDisc, not DAWs specifically), I boycotted Sony and looked for other options. It was nice to have access to some different ways to explore ideas.

In 1999 I release my debut album recorded mostly with a combination of Roland VS-1680 hardware recorder and Sonar.Ģ000s – Sonic Foundry Acid Pro offered a loop paradigm that Sonar lacked. Late 90s – Cakewalk eventually becomes Sonar. I used Cakewalk for some plays and demos and learned a lot about MIDI sequencing hardware (drum machines, analog synths, effects, patch bays, etc). Even when I started working, that was not an option.
