Review: Cakewalk Sonar Digital Multitrack Recording System(Cakewalk | Posted 2001-10-13)  Cakewalk has been a leader for years in the Windows based MIDI and recording software industry. Where there are only a few companies, most with excellent products, Cakewalk always seems to filter out near the top with feature laden offerings that give musicians the ability to express themselves in a myriad of ways.
In my opinion, Cakewalk has always packed a great deal of features into their products. The sound quality of recordings has always been excellent as well. There was something daunting, however, something almost overwhelming about the higher end products like the Pro Audio series that could make any newbie to PC based recording tremble at the knees. Cakewalk products weren’t always the most user friendly and some tasks could be quite laborious for those who weren’t intimately familiar with the product.
Enter Sonar. Cakewalk’s newest offering in the digital multi-track recording world. With Sonar, the user friendliness comes in the box! Now you can create projects faster, navigate more easily and rest assured that the application is stable enough for even your most prized projects.
The new centralized user interface is a breath of fresh air. No longer do you have to jump through hoops to get things done efficiently. Everything is right at your fingertips in the main view. Sure, if you’ve been using the product for years and are accustomed to the deep interface system you can continue using what you know. But for those of us that spend only a few hours a week with the product or are looking for a more efficient way to tweak on the fly, it’s a welcome change.
Don’t let me mislead you, though. Even though the product is easier and more efficient to use, there has been no sacrifice in the feature set. In fact, there have been several technical advancements to ensure your recordings are top notch. Take for instance the new integration of audio loop construction tools. Cakewalk takes the functionality of many available loop based editing products to the next level. Add to that automatic cross-fades and non-destructive trimming! Recording, mixing and editing have never been this flexible in the Windows environment. Not at this price.
Cakewalk’s Sonar can be found on the street for around $350. If you’ve never tried Cakewalk products before, you owe it to yourself to get on the bus – now. With Sonar, your imagination is the only limit. It’s all here: price, performance and precision – the ingredients of perfection.
