Quick Sonar Music Software Overview...


Sonar music software started life as the Cakewalk MIDI sequencer back in the days when Cakewalk was a product made by a company called Twelve Tone Systems.

Forward to now...

Cakewalk sequencer morphed into Sonar and Twelve Tone Systems transformed into the company called Cakewalk. Got it?

No worries, I needed an introduction for this page! ;-)

Now, below you'll find the 20% you need to know about Cakewalk Sonar before you decide to buy music software for your home studio.

Sonar - Renegade 20% Quick Facts...

Sonar allows you to record, edit, play back, mix and arrange Audio and Midi data, standard features you'd expect most modern DAW packages.

Sonar also comes with variety of virtual instruments and effects and can also act as host for many 3rd-party software synths, software samplers, and other virtual instruments and plug-ins.

You can export your Sonar mixes to Sony Wave-64, AIF, CAF, FLAC, SD2, WAV, QuickTime, MP3 and WMA formats which means you have the industry standard formats covered.

Sonar uses non-intrusive copy-protection which does not require a dongle or other physical protection device as is the case for instance with Steinberg Cubase.

Cakewalk Sonar supports plug-ins created using VST and DXi standards and is compatible with ReWire.

Sonar works with PC and can work with Mac though it requires Bootcamp software to run.

You'll find the latest versions of Sonar below...

All the best,
