Linux Version!

[BlackMetalViking]

Could we please get a Linux version?? I would really love some new audio recording / editing software.

[arossa]

Yeah Linux would be cool but not in the cards right now.

[BlackMetalViking]

i would def buy a copy.

+1 for Linux!

Be sure that i would immediatly through my bucks to you (i would even pay more for a linux version if needed) and purge my Cubase (which is the only reason to boot into windooze) Sonar X1 and Sonar X2 are working fine under wine but it would be so damn nice to have this baby running native on linux!!!

Did you ever thought about make this possible through kickstarter?

That's an interesting idea. Not sure we'd do it but I like the idea :)

[BlackMetalViking]

We shall gather a mass of people who would love to buy this on Linux then ;)

[Legastenika]

And if you would/could do that please dont hesistate to inform me, so me and maybe some more linux freaks, could help you and spread this all over the respective linux forums.

General question here, what about Ardour do you all not like, especially since it's free?

[Legastenika]

Well Ardour is very fine since its free of course but sonar Xx supports a bunch of features that ardour does not provide.

Of course there has to be some implementations of jack, VST support etc. but take a look at Bitwig studio which will release also for Windooze/Mac/Linux, it seems that they already finished jack and VST implementation.

Again, for me Ardour and Cakewalk are not really compareable.

[Pica Pau Maluco]

Yes I support the idea, ardour is a nice program but the plugins aren't that good
Should be awesome to run sonar in linux, with the steam os I think they'll consider it soon

[P-eLko]

I never liked ardour, it just feels... Linux needs at least one proffessional DAW for start, someone must be first. Something like Logic for mac.
I see bright future for linux, there is SteamOS in development, almost every game now are coded in opengl because of simple ports into other systems.
Microsoft started to be greedy, and they will want to sell software through their marketplace, so other distributions will be in trouble. Thats why Valve started to make SteamOS

[falkTX]

yes please!

[easypeasy72]

same here!

Are there any further Infos for a linux copy?

Nothing right now. Unfortunately, even if we were going to start a port today it would likely be a year or two out. Porting an application like SONAR is a huge undertaking since there's literally tens of thousands of commands.

[Legastenika]

Yes i know, just wanted to reactivate this because there is much interest in a native linux port. I dont expected this as a christmas surprise 2013 :-)
