MTi2 does have a VESA mount so this mount will be fine.
MTi2 will work with Sonar right away since sonar is multi touch. You will just need to install the Raven touch driver.
Sonar Batch Commander development is gonna be a while away. We are gonna do Cubase, Ableton, DP, Studio One. Then we can focus on getting Sonar going.

Thanks much for the info, jameyz. I'm a little confused about the BC comment - I thought all those were already done - isn't the 3.0 software bringing BC to those DAWs? Thanks in advance.

So, all the other DAWs are going to get another big upgrade past BC before Sonar sees the BC upgrade? That may be a deal breaker for me, but maybe I don't follow you correctly...

I noticed on the other thread that you said he would not be happy with an Acer. So with that being true, does a guy have a choice aside from getting a MTi2 and praying for Sonar support? If you would be so kind - could you make a list of what could be considered major shortcomings thatMTi2 won't do (aside from BC) in Sonar that would make it not worth the change to touch as opposed to staying with my current Alphatrack/mouse setup? I am sooo tired of working this way.... I know - I ask a lot of questions. But, I count on Slate products all the time, so this seems to be the next in line that I think would be a good add to my room. Thanks jamey

Hey Shep, Cant help you with Sonar concerns.. But to answer your questions about your machine. I run pretty much the same config. I7 4790k, 32G ram, onboard HD4600 gfx. I drive two monitors at 1080p with the internal gfx with no problem. It might be worth noting however I run osx and not windows on this box. ![]() As you can see my orientation. I have a 88 key keyboard under the raven. I like this setup as I usually run the mix window from the raven and the edit window on the monitor above.. Good luck. The raven is great and changed my workflow for the better.  |

Thank you much for the useful info/pics, sir! My keyboard, while sitting atop my desk, shouldn't be a problem to get over with the arm I want to use. I won't use 2 monitors, so for tracking keys it will be vertical behind the keys. I really hope there is an assurance we Sonar users see full support, even up the road a little bit. Thanks again!

Thanks jamey You get a great touch screen and great touch driver when buying the Raven. Sonar will be supported in the future but I can't say how long. If you bought an ACER to run Sonar, you would still need to get touch driver. Then you will would need to wait until Batch Commander is released for Sonar, since Raven will be released first it would be even longer before Batch Commander would be out. I haven't messed around with Sonar on the Raven for almost a year now, so I would have to dig in again to really see what has changed, but here is a video i shot a 2 years ago almost |

The way I am looking at it, my productivity/ease of use even w/o BC should be significant. Since it's a matter of when and not if I will see support, I think I will jump on it. Thanks for the help sorting, guys!!

I think these should be my last questions: if I purchase it, do I skip registering it so I don't have to pay $99 for Sonar later when it's released? Will it be warranted if I dont register it? Thanks much!

I would wait to register until sonar becomes available. Warranty will be from sweet water or whatever. Hit up support to get the touch driver for Raven since you won't have it in your account. But don't loose the registration paper... Or register for pro tools and maybe slate can swap it out later for sonar.

I went for it. MTi2 will be in house on Monday. Thanks much for your help in sorting this decision, Jamey. Now to pray Sonar support comes soon. I will be more than happy to work on beta for this, if you'd be so kind as to include me, sir. I will post to let you know how much joy this brings!

G'day shep. You sure have a lot more information than I got 8 months ago or so. Until your threads I had no idea that Sonar had limited support already. I've since been able to get the required driver but have no idea yet how it all works.

Hi Mike - I have the driver, but it freezes here and there, and seems like less functionality than the Win 10 driver - no idea why. You can see in the pic, I moved the control bar to the bottom. Unlike some, I have zero problems hitting all these buttons. From my chair using my preferred right hand I move easily through transport, my 10 screensets, tools, marker advance/rewind. Snap, loop, punch, mixes with left. Being able to zoom in/out on tracks/busses is great. Fader rides, mutes/solos are awesome. If I want a module closer to one hand or the other, it's a 1 second slide and voila... I wish I could draw automation and split/drag clips. I don't know if a pen would help or not with SPLAT. But my mouse is less than 6 inches from my screen, so I am ok with that for now. I am soooo in hopes Win support for Sonar comes along soon. I love working this way. HTH, Shep Attachments:

Are the bakers making headway on Windows PC development for Sonar? I read that in August they were working on it. Happy Thanksgiving SMT!
