![]() We´re about ready to get into the really cool stuff in Sonar 6, but before we do, we should remind you that we´re looking at the more expensive Producer Edition and that a number of the new features are exclusive to this flagship version. Roland´s V-Vocal pitch-correction tools and TTS-1 sample-based synthesizer are present and correct too. Our old favourites are still onboard, including Pentagon 1, the Sonitus effects suite and the Lexicon Pantheon reverb plug-in. We´re talking 64-bit processing, unlimited MIDI and audio track counts, powerful editing features and plug-ins galore. Power is the name of the DAW game, and Sonar certainly has the goods under the hood. While there are some who will feel that any attempt to emulate hardware is a touch anachronistic these days, others will celebrate the fact that Sonar now looks far less drab than it once did. Faders look like faders and knobs seem to pop out of the screen. We should also say that the overall look of Sonar 6 is a bit more ‘dimensional´. And as with all of Sonar´s customisable functions, new layouts can be saved for instant recall. Some long-time Cakewalk users have relied on third-party solutions to get their plug-ins into order, but now it´s possible to sort and display them as you see fit. You can hide menu items you rarely use, rename the ones you do and rearrange their layouts.Īnother welcome addition is the ability to organise and categorise plug-in menus. Don´t know which sort of time ruler to display across the top of the track? No worries - now you can display all of them at once.Īnd it doesn´t stop there - even the menus are user-configurable. You can also decide which functions will be displayed in the track view. While previously you could specify which toolbars were shown (and where), the toolbars themselves can now be customised to suit your workflow. This time, however, Cakewalk are giving users far more control over Sonar´s appearance than ever before. Even a Cakewalk Pro Audio user will be able to get around the interface with ease. Although it feels thoroughly modern, Sonar still bears a resemblance to the sequencers that came before it (and to some of its competitors). ![]()
