Mine is for a software that I can tailor to do and look exactly like I want it to. I stay very current on what is running well and what is the best bang for the buck.Įveryone has their own preference. It just gets me a bit miffed when someone badmouths a product they have only read about and have no idea of what it does running.Īnd I'll also state that I may be a bit biased, but having access to all the current version's of the other software out there I can make an honest statement having used them all. However, before comping became common, punch-based recording was the way to turn OK takes into great takes. One of the best features of today’s DAWs is comping, and Sonar’s implementation is very clever. But do me a huge favor and don't bad mouth a piece of software that you know absolutely nothing about and haven't even laid hands on it yet.Īnd don't take that as being gruff because it isn't meant that way. Comping may get all the attention, but Sonar’s punch options are powerful and fast. Honestly though, if you are happy with 6 then stay there. The plugins that are provided with Sonar PE are that good. I honestly have not opened any of my Waves plugin's since 7 was released. There is a huge performance upgrade just from 6 to 7 but from 7 to 8 is even bigger.Īnd the funny thing is while their competition keeps taking add ons away, Cakewalk keeps upping the anti by adding major plugin's available in not only the Studio version but the Producer edition gets a huge load of killer plugin's. The jump from 6 PE to 7 PE was huge, and the jump to 8 PE is even bigger. If you were to take a look in the manual you will see about 55 pages of explanation for all the new or improved bits. While others put out a new version that can't open previous versions saved files Cakewalk's Sonar can still open files all the way back to the Pro Audio days. They are usually the first to generate a software package that can utilize the newer hardware, but they are also the first to make it work across the board. Including single and multi core processors.
