There are a few plugins that apparently used to come with Sonar that don't any longer but there are a ton of free and useful instruments and F/X available on the interwebs. Some plugins sell subscriptions these days, so what CW is asking is very minimal.

Just use the email you use professionally or get a gmail address and use it for only CW. Their tech support is amazingly helpful, and that needs an account.

In other words, that I wouldn't require a pro sound card to produce a quick jingle in 2022, especially if it's instrumental (ie, no analog recording like a voice). someone told me today's onboard RealTek audio will do just as well (latency-wise) as my old Echo Gina 3G did.

I imagine this question must've been asked a hundred times since the announcement, but I just can't wrap my brain around this news perhaps there are others like me out there who'd appreciate the confirmation (that this isn't a trick) =) (are they still VST?)Īre there ANY limitations, when compared to 2010's Sonar? if I install this new Cakewalk (apparently the Sonar name has been abandoned) it will do everything Sonar Pro used to back in 2010, perhaps even more? I can run sample libraries, plugins like autotune, etc. Quickly Googling reveals BandLab purchased the rights to the software and started offering it for free. I was running on an Echo Gina 3G before giving up the life. I was an avid Cakewalk Sonar customer, user and advocate in my younger years (2000-2010).Īt the time, the software was competing with Cubase & Pro Tools for a share of the marketplace, and going for hundreds of dollars.
