I don't know if Vintage Channel comes separate from Sonar, but it's a great compressor.

Im new to all of this for the most part. Ive been recording for some time with other devices never the pc. I understand that both programs are good. I just happened to go with the one that i thought would be better for my applications. I will admit that i wanted to upgrade my pc to vista 64 and still have the disk. However PT will not work on a 64 bit system. Either way i dont really need to have it since it really doesnt benifit from running 32 or 64 anyhow. PT has been good to me anyhow. Just when i thought it could not get any better they gave a free 8.0 download to all there customers that had the 7.4 version, included with that they had tons of big fish rock loops that are avalible to me however i would perfer to play drums over cutting down non midi drum loops. Then i have reason which if im not mistaken can be used on either of the platforms that we are talking about here, I must say anyone who has a platform that can run reason as a plugin would be a fool not to have it (yes its that sweet). Then on top of that you can go to propeller heads website and beef up with more plugins for reason and its already jammed with awesome synths, drums ect. I dont know I am just overly happy with Pro tools, and yes you might drop some cash but you get what you pay for.

That's awesome.

Yea I heard nothing but horror stories regarding 64bit platforms and Sonar. My rig is pretty beefy and 32bit doesn't take anything away from my performance, so I'm happy with it.

I guess. Never tried.
I'm pretty sure it has that re-wire thingamabobber dealy. I never used Reason, so I, pardon the pun, never had a reason to try.

I've run NI Reaktor 5 through Sonar, Absynth, Guitar rig, etc..
If something is capable of being run as a plugin, then Sonar can run it.

I know a lot of people that use NI Battery and BFD for drum programs and route each output from the drum pads to their own channels in Sonar, and trigger the pads with Sonar's step sequencer or midi editor.

Sonar is fully compatible with pretty much anything.
It also has an external hardware feature that will route any channel through your soundcard to any external audio processors you have, then send it back in... all in realtime and with delay compensation.
It's like using an effect plugin, except you're using whatever EQ or compression or whatever fx hardware you may have.
It's got a few bugs, but I believe they worked them out with the latest release of Sonar.

reason will run as a slave with just about any recording/mastering application. It even runs with Garage Band.
