SONAR 8 Producer Edition from Cakewalk is fully-featured software for music production, designed to cover every step of the production cycle, from composing with virtual instruments, to recording and mixing, both in stereo and surround. With every revision, the product has included major enhancements and this version is no exception.
Optimization and workflow enhancements include user-interface improvements for delivering smoother display responses, increased track counts, faster launch times and the ability to change audio interfaces without having to shut down and restart the system. Anytime recording is a valuable addition that does not require stopping the transport to engage "record".
A loop explorer allows for browsing and previewing audio and MIDI groove clips and patterns, while allowing a choice of any virtual instruments to listen to the MIDI clips. A host of new virtual instruments have been added along with additional effects that include dynamic processors and reverb tools.
