Starting with version 6, Sonar could take advantage of 64-bit internal processing, a 64-bit audio engine, and a 64-bit mixer on 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7. Various audio export options (including 64-bit masters) were AIFF, AU, CAF, FLAC, RAW, SD2, W64 (Sony Wave-64), and WAV (Microsoft).

It was possible to transfer audio loop files from other compatible software into Sonar and complete a final mixdown. Common SMPTE formats, frame sizes and frame rates were supported. With appropriate hardware, it was also possible to output the video to an external monitor screen via FireWire. Sonar had the ability to show video as thumbnails contained in a separate track. Sonar provided limited facilities for video, surround sound (5.1, 7.1), and supported.

We'll cover these in our upcoming review - the software is scheduled to be released on 8 December, and you can rest assured that if you buy Sonar 8.5 Studio or Producer from this day forward, you'll get a free update to its X1 counterpart. That's the Sonar X1 feature highlights covered, but of course, smaller tweaks have also been made throughout the application. Specifically, the ProChannel can be placed pre or post FX bin and you can drag 'n' drop the routing order of the EQ, compressor and tube saturation. It also offers two fully parametric filters, Pure, Vintage and Modern modes and an additional 'Gloss' mode to add instant sparkle.Įlsewhere in the ProChannel there are two types of tube saturation (this can be dialled in with a single control) and flexible routing options. There are actually two types of compression - the PC76 U-Type channel compressor and the PC4K S-Type bus compressor - while the EQ is 6-band (2 shelf/bells and 4 bell/notches). This appears as standard on every track and offers vintage-style compression and EQ.
NEXT: ProChannel and pricing ProChannelĪs before, Sonar comes in Studio and Producer versions (plus a new Essential version that replaces Cakewalk's entry-level Home Studio products) and the biggest new Producer-exclusive feature is the ProChannel. These enable you to create arrangements of multiple effects and then tweak them as if there were a single effect.
Other workflow enhancements include enhanced drag 'n' drop functionality - you can now move the vast majority of things in Sonar from one place to another - and FX Chains. Sonar's tools work across all of the software's editing views.

The big news here is that the mouse pointer automatically changes to the most appropriate tool based on context (saving you the bother of switching), though there's also a pop-up, floating tool window so that you can make manual selections. Of course, there are still plenty of times when you'll need to use your mouse, which is why Cakewalk has also introduced Smart Tools. Sonar veterans can be assured that their old shortcuts can still be used, but Cakewalk believes that its new system is better and hopes that even old-hands will switch to it. To give you an example, L turns loopjng on or off, Shift + L sets the loop points to selection, and Ctrl + L enables Groove Clip looping in the Track view. And speaking of keys, Sonar X1 'reimagines' the software's keyboard shortcuts by grouping similar functions around one Alpha Key. Fortunately, Screensets enable to you to recall all window positions, sizes and states - these can be accessed from the Control Bar or your QWERTY keyboard.
