Well Cakewalk finally convinced me to upgrade, I had Sonar 4.something or other and they went through Sonar 5 and then 6.0 and download to 6.2. The price used to be 180 bucks for the upgrade (new CD, complete program) but hanging on to the old one paid off, because I jumped two grades not one and now they have till sunday or maybe monday dropped the price of the upgrade for those who already bought 4 or 5, down to 130 bucks, so I jumped on the bandwidthwagon so to speak. Anyone else out there using Sonar 6? Wonder if there are quirks I should know about.

Originally posted by AikoHmm, not a musician I gather. It is a software suite that allows you to record and edit music brought to the comp from some kind of sound card preferably not a sound blaster! I use a couple, one is by RME, a german outfit, called the hammerfall, 8 analog in's and 8 out's at the same time. Then you can assign tracks inside sonar to start recording all that music and stuff it into a HD, better make that a SECOND HD.
What does it do? Makes you listen to the noises from inside the computer?
Then you can add effects, like reverb, echo's, fades, equalization and the like. Nice thing about doing it digitally is those effects are not added to the original track just a new track made with the mix, that way if you don't like the way it sounds after you did it, you can just go back to the original and start with some other effect and see what that sounds like. It's a non-destructive and reversible process, unlike if you only had the old analog tape deck stuff, once you have a track that you added too much reverb on, you can't UNreverb it. Found that out the hard way🙂 So thats it in a nutshell.
