At the end of this month (this weekend?) Cakewalk will introduce new version of Sonar, Sonar 6. This new version will have 2 modes, Sonar 6 Producer Edition and Sonar 6 Studio Edition, both models are built from the same core and with the same pristine 64-bit double precision engine.
New version’s features include active controller technology (adapts the instruments and effects parameters to your hardware), crash recovery (never loose the project you’re working on), mouse wheel support (really useful feature!), fast zoom (to edit precisely without changing anything else), project versions (save your projects with data and time stamps, easy access to old versions), etc.
Main differences about Producer Edition and Studio Edition are, Producer Edition includes Session Drummer 2 (multi-sampled drum kits, live recorded tracks and vital patterns), synth rack (an easier way to managing and controlling your instrument) and automation enhancements for read/write tracks and others.
There are also some features added to Sonar 6 that were requested by users like “Where am I?” display (color markers tells you what tracks and buses are being used), possibility of undoing insertions and deletions of plugins from track and effects, ASIO driver’s latency compensated when recording, fully customization for track controls, etc.
Sonar 6 Studio Edtition’s price will be $369 and Sonar 6 Producer Edtition’s price will be $649 for new Cakewalk customers, check your price if you already are a Cakewalk customer.
