Cakewalk Sonar Home Studio 4.0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great software at a great price! It is as functional as Cakewalk Pro Audio 7 was (I used to use that). The 64 audio track limit is not a problem, I have never even got close to that many audio tracks. There are a lot of free MIDI effects and VST effects and instruments available for free online if you need anything this program doesn't offer....
If you can't get sound look under OPTIONS->AUDIO->ADVANCED and try a different driver (ASIO, MME, etc...). ASIO is best (update soundcard drivers or look for ASIO4ALL). Also don't forget to pick MIDI devices (OPTIONS->MIDI DEVICES) or you'll get no MIDI playback either.....
