This is a guide for computer buyers, builders and modders who want to find the optimal hardware for use with [http://www.cakewalk.com/ Cakewalk]'s '''SONAR'''.
+
-
 
+
-
==Demonstrably Compatible Components==
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
==Dubious, Problematic, Unstable or Incompatible Components==
+
-
 
+
-
===SATA Hard Drives===
+
-
 
+
-
SONAR users storing their audio data on SATA hard drives have reported having numerous problems. It's recommended to store your SONAR audio on an IDE or external hard drive, by simply putting your audio folder there and pointing Sonar to it in the "Project Folders" box in ''Options'' | ''Global'' | ''Folders''.
+
-
 
+
-
Note that having Windows, or even the Sonar program itself, on a SATA drive does not seem to cause these problems.
+
-
 
+
-
===ProTools Hardware===
+
-
 
+
-
SONAR has serious problems using ProTools hardware.  See this [http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.asp?m=858542 forum thread] for more details.
+
-
 
+
-
==The 64-Bit Question==
+
-
 
+
-
Cakewalk's official take on using Sonar on 64-bit computers can be read [http://www.cakewalk.com/x64/default.asp here].
+
-
 
+
-
Note that this is ''not'' the same as using SONAR's [http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/kb/kb2005278.asp ''64-Bit Precision''] option.
