(Cakewalk | Posted 2005-02-07)

Cakewalk, developer of the leading music and sound software for Windows, today announces a maintenance release for SONAR, the definitive audio production environment on the Windows platform. The free SONAR 4.0.2 maintenance release for both SONAR 4 Producer Edition and SONAR 4 Studio Edition is now available for download at www.cakewalk.com.

The SONAR 4.0.2 maintenance release highlights:

- Control Surface interface now supports metering and other enhancements that improve performance allowing extended control over SONAR's recording, editing and mixing operations. Control surface plug-in updates included for ADStech RedRover, CM Labs MotorMix, Mackie Universal Control, and Mackie C4.

- OMF import file improvements for cross platform compatibility with user selectable sample rate and bit depth; the ability to read OMF files authored by Avid and Pro Tools systems that contain NEST and TRANSITION constructs.

- Other enhancements: Cakewalk VST Adapter performance update to decrease plug-in insert "load" time and send NRPN events directly to VSTi synths; faster "one pass" QuickTime export, also enhanced to require significantly less disk space; export of multi-channel audio to external command-line encoders; the ability to specify whether track/bus mute and solo should affect pre-fader sends.

The SONAR 4.0.2 maintenance release is a direct result of active dialog with our users. We view timely product updates as an example of Cakewalk's commitment to the very best in product support for our customers.
