« Cakewalk Sonar 2.0 »

cakewalk website, $299, I bought software for recording purposes. For a long time I have been searching a good software that would give a lot of flexibility with various standards in present audio industry.

I like Sonar 2 because I found it extremely easy to use for my recording purposes. I use it for midi and audio recording. It is a very versatile piece of software in a price range affordable.

I thought that more plugins would be included with the software. Of course there is an XL version that comes with three plugins, 2 of them for mastering, but I was hoping for a good sound generator. The one that is included I don't find particularly useful.

The quality of the software is very good. It did not freeze yet and processing is very quick. There are major improvements. Before Sonar I used Guitar Studio and definitely Sonar is a way to go

1. The program is affordable
2. It is recognized as competitive software in audio industry
3. It is compatible with other softwares for transfers of files
4. It can be used for midi, audio as well as video production purposes to synchronize audio to video
5. It has a lot of effects
6. It is easy to use
