You can always choose to parse a DAW that doesn't have the features required in your workflow from migration consideration, but I hope that would be obvious before you decided to make the move. Clearly, Mixcraft wouldn't be a good choice for you because of your specific requirements, but when I think of the kinds of things I have experienced in moving from Sonar to other DAWs, my out of the box Mixcraft experience didn't have a downside that put a feature-use damper on the creative process, which is what I consider an impediment to workflow. Yes, there is no question that Sonar is a more powerful DAW (when you restrict the comparison to audio), but there is little that I think it currently couldn't accomplish if given a little help from third-party apps. I wasn't because Mixcraft was all that functionally similar to Sonar that the adaption was easy, it was because Mixcraft is so damned intuitive. From time to time, I've tried other DAWs for varying reasons, and never had my first experience with them been as satisfying and productive as my first time with Mixcraft. That was Mixcraft 4, however, and the gap between what it and Sonar can do has narrowed substantially, especially with Mixcraft 8. I was pretty aware of Mixcraft's limitations at that time, so I didn't try to do something I knew it was not capable of doing. When I used Mixcraft for the first time I was 100% indoctrinated to Sonar, yet in that first session I immediately adapted to Mixcraft. My point was that in terms of general workflow, and that if Mixcraft has the capability, getting to and using it is incredibly transparent. Yours are pretty specific requirements that I'm not too sure are the kinds of things that people here are generally talking about when they discuss workflow problems in foreign DAWs. My comment was not actually directed to your initial questions concerning the event editor and stave display. Hi Michael, Yes, I am aware that yours are very specific requirements which are not accommodated by Mixcraft. Cubase is probably the only other DAW that would work for me, but Reaper is fine so far. Fortunately, Reaper has a great notation editor, and an event list that is identical to Sonar's, so it works for me. It would be very hard for me to use a DAW that doesn't have these. For me, since I learned on Sonar, I developed a workflow where staff view (for all instruments, not just one) and Event List became very important for me. Michael diemer John, I'm glad that Mixcraft works well for you.
