Cakewalk Sonar Home Studio 7 Is Quite Fully-Featured; Perhaps TOO Fully-Featured
Burgeoning recording enthusiasts may be having a harder time finding the start-up investment capital need for fleshing out a state-of-the-art home studio, but with Cakewalk Sonar Home Studio 7, scaling back doesn't have to mean making compromises.
In fact, with all that Sonar Home Studio 7 has to offer, Cakewalk can't avoid begging the question that dare not be asked: what's the point in spending more on other versions of Sonar? It's a hard line to toe.
SPEAKER: Sonar Home Studio 7 has a brand new UI, lots of new great features, and is certainly not the fenced-in, lite version of Sonar that some people think it is. It's actually a very fully featured product. It's actually the most featured product in its weight class: the $99 to $149 product range.
In addition to the new UI, we've added a lot of different workflow enhancements, track assistant, send assistant. You can also preview MIDI clips and audio clips in Loop Explorer now, and overall I think that the product brings a lot of fun back into creating music.
There are number of features that Home Studio 7 actually shares with Sonar. The Loop Explorer is one of them, loop construction view. The MIDI tools now have been updated so they match everything that's in Sonar Producer Edition right now. We share a lot of the same plugins. Almost a lot of the instrments we have are shared as well like the TTS-1 and the Roland Groovesynth. We've also included studio instruments that's something that's not included in Sonar.
In the Home Studio XL pack, we've also included Boost 11 which, as many people know, is also included in Sonar Producer Edition. We've also included Dimension with Garritan Pocket Orchestra, and we have a new guitar amp simulator from Studio Devil called the VGA Plus
