11ÌýSonar (Cakewalk) Like Cubase, Sonar grew out of a MIDI-only program called Cakewalk.
The packed screen can be a bit tricky when you're still getting to know what all the buttons do.
You may also feel like you're working in quite a cramped window as the main programming and arranging area is squeezed into a small space.
Cakewalk's MIDI facilities use a few different screens, so it can feel like you're jumping from window to window a lot when you're programming.
But to balance that out, it's very smooth and quite easy to get going.
Like Logic, it uses a toolbar to change the function of the mouse pointer - you draw in notes with one tool and delete them with another - so with both packages you'll save hours if you set your short cuts early on.
Sonar's basic version will cost you around £170. The full version, Sonar XL, currently tips the scales at around £250.
