I did both audio and MIDI composition using SONAR 3. I bought SONAR 3 from Musician's Friend on for $299.99. My amount of RAM was the recommended amount for SONAR 3 Studio Edition. In 2003 my computer was a Dell Dimension 8200 Intel Pentium 4 2.26 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Ultra ATA/100 hard drive, 16X DVD-ROM drive, CD-RW drive, 64 MB GeForce MX graphics card, Turtle Beach Santa Cruz DSP sound card, and Harman/Kardon Speakers, HK-695 running Windows XP Home Edition ($2,154.11 computer system). I purchased SONAR 3 Studio Edition back in 2003 and I liked the recording and music production software very much. Maybe my experience was due to a random error, but I suggest that you consider buying Sonar elsewhere.Ĭakewalk 10-CWSP8.00 Sonar 8 Producer Edition - Windows The replacement registered fine and had no problems. I don't know if somebody tampered with the product, or if J&R is trying to rip us off, but someone should look into this.Įdit: After contacting J&R, I shipped the product back and received a replacement. The license is what I paid $450 for without it, the product is worthless. I suspect that J&R sent me a used copy of the software, which is completely useless for software that requires product registration.

The included manual and DVD box also had scratches and signs of wear on them.

#Cakewalk dimension pro will not remember midi controllers serial numbers
I received Sonar 8 Producer today from J&R Music and Computer World only to find out after I installed it that the serial numbers for Sonar and the included products Dimension Pro and Guitar Rig 3 LE were already registered.Īlso, the box was not shrink wrapped and had scratches and signs of wear. However, I do not recommend that you purchase it from J&R through Amazon. Cakewalk Sonar 8 is an excellent DAW for Windows users.
