Another new addition is the Effects Chain, which allows you to group complex chains off effects, which can then be moved around your project (and dragged and dropped from the browser) in exactly the same way as a single plug‑in.Īlso new to Sonar X1 is the Smart Tool. These can all be dragged and dropped from the browser into your current project - indeed, Cakewalk say that drag‑and‑drop functionality has been enhanced throughout Sonar, so you can now drag effects from the browser, from one channel to another, or even to individual audio clips. It allows you to quickly find and audition a wide range of files, plug‑ins and presets, including virtual instruments and effects, audio and MIDI files, track templates, song templates, and even entire projects. The Inspector, like the MultiDock, can be expanded, collapsed, left floating or ‘docked’ to the top, bottom, left or right of the screen (the same is now true of all of Sonar’s views and windows).Ī Browser window has been incorporated, and this works in a similar way to the browsers that can be found in PreSonus’ Studio One and Ableton’s Live.
#SONAR MULTIDOCK FULL#
With a channel highlighted, the Inspector will show not only the full channel strip (including effects and sends), but also that channel’s output bus. Then there’s the Inspector pane, which displays data on clips, tracks and channels (whichever you have selected).
Cakewalk also say that it is ideal for people working with multiple monitors, as the MultiDock can be placed on a separate monitor so that frequently accessed views are always visible.
#SONAR MULTIDOCK WINDOWS#
The window can be collapsed or expanded, and is designed to help minimise the need to switch between multiple windows when working. A new window, the MultiDock, can be set to show any of Sonar’s views, including the Console, Arrange view, Piano Roll Editor, and even synth and effect interfaces. Sonar X1, which should be available shortly, incorporates a number of useful new features, many of which are designed to make working with the sequencer easier.Most visible of these is a new concept that Cakewalk call Skylight, which comprises a number of enhancements to Sonar’s user interface.
Cakewalk came to the SOS offices recently to give us a sneak preview of the latest version of Sonar.
