Hey folks, perused through the forums as much as I could and DAW comparisons bubble up all over the place but I'd like to start a definitive thread on specifically tracking what DAWs have surround sound capability, what their fallbacks are, and workarounds might exist for them to be able to work in any given surround configuration.
My lengthiest experience is with Cakewalk's Sonar, I started a thread back when X2 was the latest version with my first major surround sound project to-picture. The thread can be https://forum.cakewalk.com/motion-Picture-workflows-m2891304.aspx (viewed here).
If you have experience or can point to relevant articles on established sites, please add them to the discussion as links (please don't quote).
I'd simply like to create a running "list" of resources for quickly finding information. Some quick guidelines to posting a comment and adding to the list:
Title: Cakewalk Sonar Producer - ver. X2a PROBLEM + WORKAROUND
Comment:
Max Channel Config: up to 8.1 surround
Problem: Surround Sound plugins do not function on surround busses, sync loss due to audio drift when using Surround Bridge Feature in DAW.
Workaround: workflow described in this https://forum.cakewalk.com/motion-Picture-workflows-m2891304.aspx (forum thread in Sonar User Forums).

- Name DAW & manufacturer + Version #.
- The maximum channel configuration of the DAW at the described version
- Keep description minimal, provide links to information source where possible.
- Label in the comment's title whether your describing a "problem", "workaround", or "workflow".
