that's nice to hear from the point of view of an educator, we so often think this software is just for bedroom producers, professional music producers, audio engineers, songwriter / composers .
I greatly appreciate the few who have made thoughtful, constructive, solution-oriented comments, and I have collected those.Įlffin. After all this talk about priorities, I think I need to exercise some of my own. Anyone who translates my example of what a solution looks like into "Well Anderton says we have to get 10,000 Chinese to buy SONAR to get improvements in staff view" tells me all I need to know about where my time is better spent, and it's not here. If people don't read what I say, it makes no sense to waste time writing. I'm working on a different approach to education now but why even bother mentioning it. Cakewalk has no person dedicated to pursuing the educational market. It takes time to build those relationships, and I'm sure you're aware of the bureaucracies involved in school system purchases. Remember that CW didn't even have an "in" to the educational market until after the acquisition. And you may be the only person here who understands mine. I truly appreciate your trying, though, and understand your frustration. That's why I think Cakewalk needs to look outside the United States. stating that Sonar was easier but Sv was a dealbreaker.įrustrating isnt a word that truly describes my feelings about this!!īeing Windows-only is a deal-breaker with many educational systems whom Apple seeded with Macs. In a recent conversation I had with her she purchasef Cubase.
I then state you can change the keybind to something memorable but by then she lost interest and even start saying refering to Logic on pc (yeah some still refer to it). (She goes on them to note most pupils want place music in straight away rather learning even more keyboard shortcuts and refers to special needs) " press shift alt 6" (or whatever it is). they reply "sixteenth?, shouldnt it be called Semiquaver?" "is there an easy way to select it?". "oh thats easy" I say "just right click here and select Sixteenth". "how do you select note values - semiquavers". Here's a chat I had with a teacher (who recently became the local university music teacher training officer) who will over the next twenty years have a massive influence on how and what is taught. because they have different names in different languages. With the arrival on X1 I couldnt recommend it further tbh. I love Sonar but when I show the SV view I get that sad feeling of having to admit to them its limitations. On music courses and individual sessions with teachers I have run over the years they have really impressed with Sonar and its abilities until they get to SV view.
I think Sonar will be overlooked for the educational system because of staff view., Ive worked in education for 18yrs and even judged composition competitions on a national level.
