[MusicTlk] Sonar vs Reaper

[BillList1]

If you are OK with using Windows7 or earlier, SONAR with the CakeTalking for
SONAR scripts remains an excellent option for us blind audio producers.
Feel free to contact me off-list using my info at dancingdots.com address.

I personally have never used Reaper so I cannot comment on comparisons.  But
I can say that CakeTalking does make using SONAR quite intuitive and most
user-friendly to people like me who are blind.

Here's a blurb with a link to an audio presentation:

...
CakeTalking customizes the JAWS for Windows screen reader so blind users can
access the SONAR software that so many sighted people use to convert their
PC's into recording studios. And CakeTalking tops it all off with a set of
detailed tutorials in the form of electronic documents of hundreds of pages
that instruct the JAWS user on all the "how to's". Using CakeTalking with
JAWS, blind musicians can focus their energy on creating, not
trouble-shooting!

Bryan Smart, Dancing Dots' training specialist emeritus, blind audio
producer and CakeTalking enthusiast, puts SONAR through its paces. In a
detailed but fast-moving audio presentation, Bryan covers a whole lot: basic
operations of SONAR, the track view, mixing, showing effects and how to edit
your music with CakeTalking, mixing with a control surface like the
Behringer BCF2000, recording a simple project using software synthesizers,
demonstrating the Matrix view, and demonstrating some basic editing features
like cut/copy/paste, quantize, transpose, and interpolate. He also briefly
touches on SONAR's AudioSnap facility. The entire demo is about an hour and
45 minutes long but it is designed to present the basic operations in the
first 20 minutes or so. See links below to allow you to listen to the
presentation. 

BTW, Bryan used the Behringer BCF2000 control surface while creating this
presentation. Using a control surface with SONAR is optional but it can
certainly speed up your work flow.  You can learn more and even order one
from Dancing Dots.

Lately, we have also had very strong interest in the Komplete Kontrol
keyboard controller and excellent sample libraries.  Once installed and
configured, this keyboard speaks all changes through your PC's SAPI speech
as you select the instrumental sounds you want to add to your project.
Works with SONAR and other digital audio workstation software.

Hi

 

Is Reaper a superset of Sonar or does Sonar have some advantages over
Reaper?
