(More customer reviews)Cakewalk has taken the ethical and professional step of centralizing the key functional needs of the sound producer, music hobbyist, or professional musician and engineer into one highly functional, affordable and simplified Digital Audio Works package. With the heritage of straightforward hobbyist-friendly user interfaces by the skilled hands of CakeWalk developers, this package steps boldly into the professional realm in terms of track standardization and management, streamlining of CPU loading and GUI, and incorporation of plug-in functionalities which could formerly cost an additional $3500 for the discriminating sound developer.
V Vocal replaces what one might formerly have to buy from AVOX AutoTune for $500 in terms of pitch and wave form correction
Dimension Pro 1.5 rivals the best of $400 Synths plug-ins with thousands of high quality instruments and programs interfaced easily with all MIDI devices.
TruePianos (Amber) - a Steinway Piano Synth which is the most quality and emotive piano expression I have used in a DAW.
Guitar Pro 4 LE - Guitar Amplifier and Effects emulation, with the leading package in that realm normally costing $200
Beatscape - A beat manager which replaces a ReWire style package costing $400 replete with hundreds of modifiable beats and programs.
ProChannel - simplified onboard track effects bin which reduces system effects CPU load and eliminates the need to purchase $200 external basic effects
Sonitus Effects - which rival overpriced/over ego-ed and horribly supported WAVES effects at $1700 and $200 per year for 'support'.
The list goes on and on. This coupled with a support and user forum backup which is highly touted in the user industry. Every single time I go to the Sonar/Cakewalk user forums, I either get immediately the resolution to my challenge, or I get the next logical step to try, within minutes in many cases - from some of the most well mannered and intelligent sound engineers I know.
The User Interface is intuitive and can be standardized into several different window/screen configurations and saved by the user to recall on the fly. I could keep going, but you have to try this package for yourself.
Overall, I am highly pleased with Sonar X1 and the mechanisms behind this excellent release.
