ASIO support in Sonar petition


Recommended Posts

I have started a petition to campaign for full ASIO support in Cakewalk's Sonar. They have mentioned ASIO support for Digidesign's hardware, but it is still unclear whether there will be ASIO support for all soundcards. If it is finally confirmed by Cakewalk, then the petition will not be sent to them; but in the meantime, please show your support by voting now! http://www.petitiononline.com/asiosn20/petition.html Thank you, Shayne White

It's not that easy to come up with good WDM drivers, and it's a newer technology. A lot of sound cards already have mature ASIO technology. It's not VST vs. DX, as you can already use wrappers to run VST and VSTi devices with Sonar. I think that the Cakewalk people just want to make sure that people don't have a reason not to use Sonar .

Confirmation from Cakewalk: It's real ASIO, and it works with ASIO-compatible hardware, not just Digi's. BTW I know that ASIO is more of a hack than the facilities built into Windows or OS X. But I like the message it sends: Steinberg developed a cross-platform protocol and offered it to the industry. Their main competitor on the Windows platform, Cakewalk, has embraced it. Let Microsoft and Apple carry on their OS wars: the music industry has a better idea. Props to all concerned, including Digi for going ASIO too. This makes my day, frankly.
