music-production process. It's an incredibly powerful,
comprehensive software suite.
Intuitive environment to work within
The creative work environment is as important as the actual tools
- and fortunately, Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer Edition gives you the
best of both. Not only do you get a complete artillery of editing
tools and time-saving tricks, but it's also all couched within an
intuitive environment. Enjoy fast-access to all the essential
controls and parameters within SONAR 8 Producer Edition and

Includes a tremendous amount of virtual instruments
With Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer Edition, you can explore a diverse
landscape of sounds and musical instruments right from the moment
you open the box. You get tons of premium virtual instruments,
ranging from vintage analog synthesizer leads to drum hits to
organic, acoustic sounds. Just use your favorite MIDI
keyboard controller to play in phrases expressively and layer one
on top of the other to create incredible-sounding backing tracks
and inspiration for new songs. The suite includes Dimension Pro
1.2 Cakewalk's award-winning virtual instrument, offering
everything from rich acoustic sounds to atmospheric pads with
plenty of tweakability. You also get incredible guitar amp and
pedal modeling, courtesy of Native Instruments Guitar Rig 3 LE.
Or, for modern electronic sounds, you've got Rapture LE, and PSYN
II in addition to grooves, drum patterns, and more, thanks to
DropZone, Pentagon I, RXP, Roland GrooveSynth, Roland TTS-1, and
Session Drummer 2.
More professional plug-ins and audio effects than any version
of SONAR
The difference between a good song sketch and a professional track
rests in the polishing. You need reverb to add just the right
amount of room ambience, maybe a touch of compression to fatten up
the kick and bass, EQ to sculpt each sound and the overall mix,
and then pro-quality mastering tools to give your mix the punch it
needs to stand up next your favorite CDs. Cakewalk SONAR 8
Producer Edition puts all of these tools right into your hands, so
you're ready to create at the top level. You get a serious amount
of audio effects and tools, including the Sonitus:fx Suite that's
packed with reverb, equalization, compression, wah, and even more
tools. Plus, you get the Lexicon Pantheon Reverb that's based on
the legendary Lexicon hardware. And for giving your mix that
crucial last "kick," the acclaimed Boost 11 Peak Limiter
is included, as well. Other tools include the LP-64 EQ Multiband
linear phase mastering compressor/limiter, the TS-64 transient
shaper, the TL-64 tube leveler, the VC-64 Vintage Channel with
sidechaining capabilities, the Roland V-Vocal with Pitch to MIDI conversion, Perfect Space Convolution Reverb, and more.
Unlimited tracks and track templates, for getting infinitely
creative
Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer Edition puts no limits on your
creativity, so you can create as complex of orchestrations as your
imagination churns out. There are no track count limits or similar
restrictions. And to jump-start the creative process, Cakewalk
even added a host of project and track templates that instantly
load your favorite sounds. Just call one up and fill it up with
music.
Flexible tools for editing MIDI
information
Using Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer Edition's extensive, customizable
Smart MIDI editing tools, you can get inside your MIDI
information and quickly tweak it to achieve perfect virtual
instrument tracks. A few tools in the extensive MIDI-editing
toolbox include Drag-Quantize, for quickly aligning selected notes
and events with snap settings, a multilane Piano Roll view, a MIDI
magnifier, and a velocity colorizer.
Automatic plug-in delay compensation saves you from
frustrations
With Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer Edition, you don't have to worry
about "nudging" your audio tracks to make up for latency
problems caused by plug-ins, or even by outboard hardware effects.
The automatic plug-in delay compensation feature keeps your head
in the music, instead of calculating minute delay times every time
you decide to enrich your sound with another plug-in.
Tools to conserve PC processing power and balance CPU
processing
SONAR 8 Producer Edition is designed to take advantage of the
power of today's cutting-edge multi-processor PCs, including eight
cores. SONAR 8 intelligently balances its processing load across
all the available resources, so you enjoy the best performance
possible. And if you want to harness even more horsepower as you
concentrate on different parts of your mix, you can freeze tracks,
instruments, and effects to conserve processing power - great for
pulling together a ton of juice as you lay down another part or
print a CPU-hungry virtual instrument track to audio.
Burn and rip CDs right inside SONAR and save in virtually any
audio format
Once you're inside the SONAR 8 Producer Edition environment, you
can stay there. Rip a CD right into SONAR, to sample your old
tracks or save them as a more e-mailable file format. In fact, you
can save your SONAR projects in just about any recognized audio
format, including Sony Wave-64, AIF, CAF, FLAC, SD2, WAV,
QuickTime, MP3, and WMA. You can also export to OMFI and Broadcast
WAV, for tweaking your tracks within other DAWs. And when it's
finally time to complete your project, SONAR 8 Producer Edition
offers integrated CD burning, making it a true one-stop
destination for music creation, production, and final publication.
Easily upload songs to the Internet and build song players for
your website
The Internet is already an integral part of the music process -
not only for promoting your band, songs, studio abilities, and
more, but also distributing your music. Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer
Edition is there for you after you've completed your mix with
helpful tools for taking your audio straight from your computer
and publishing it to the 'net. Using Cakewalk Publisher, you can
even build a song player for your website to showcase your latest
creations.
