The music aspect of the software receives mixed reviews, with users appreciating its affordability and features like video import for syncing, which are beneficial for game music production. However, many express frustration over frequent bugs, crashes, and limitations in functionality, leading to dissatisfaction with the overall quality of music produced. While some users find it intuitive and suitable for beginners, others argue that it lacks the capabilities needed for professional music creation, resulting in low-quality outputs.
“It was a really affordable software for people making video game music like me; it has a video import option which is great if you are going to sync.”
“Its intuitive interface gives an understanding of what is needed and what is not for recording instrumental music at the initial stage.”
“I compose soundtracks for games, started with Cakewalk 8.1 and moved on to Sonar X3 all the way through and never felt any inconvenience for all these years.”
“As a music composing software, I was pretty satisfied while it still worked, but Sonar for me is the 1 out of 100 cases that a program just bugs and where, even after months of testing tech forum suggestions, I've still not been able to restore basic functionality.”
“The music that you will be able to produce on this software will be of very low quality.”
“I wanted to remix a song and this software just doesn't allow for a good quality remix.”
