SONAR has redefined mixing in the box.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-18245 alignright\" title=\"ProChannel EQ\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/ProChannel-EQ-1024x799.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" height=\"230\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ProChannel redefines the way you work with the Console View. Each audio track, instrument track, and bus comes with a complete modular strip of analog effects.\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Even the inspector allows the users to preview a selected track\u2019s ProChannel strip right from the Track View. With the click of a button users can expand this analog mixing console and fully customize it by dragging around the modules, or loading up a ProChannel presets. Load up the Compressors, Tube Saturation, Reverb, Console Emulators, Tap Emulators, and the new QuadCurve EQ Zoom with Analyzer by simply right-clicking.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">SONAR\u2019s ProChannel lends itself to an immensely visual experience<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"font-size: 13px;\" title=\"More...\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-includes\/js\/tinymce\/plugins\/wordpress\/img\/trans.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">and to enhance this feature a step further Cakewalk introduced the fly-out panel for the Quad Curve EQ (<\/span><a style=\"font-size: 13px;\" title=\"SONAR X3 Producer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cakewalk.com\/products\/SONAR\/X3-Producer\/\" target=\"_blank\">SONAR X3 Producer<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">\u00a0Exclusive). Adding this allows users to see and modify their audio signals in real-time across a spectrum analyzer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. The best pitch correction software that exists is fully integrated.<\/h3>\n<p>ARA technology is Celemony\u2019s way of allowing DAW\u2019s to host the functions of any audio edit capable plugin. ARA Integration means that Melodyne can now run as a fully integrated feature within SONAR X3. Yes, you read that correctly, SONAR X3 can now run the world\u2019s best pitch correction as a native component and SONAR X3 Studio &amp; Producer now include Melodyne Essential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Melodyne-ARA.png\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-18246\" title=\"Melodyne ARA\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Melodyne-ARA.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"413\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Melodyne interacts with the new Region FX clips in SONAR &#8211; allowing users to highlight any mono audio clip and apply Melodyne pitch correction. ARA\u2019s high quality time stretching replaces the older time stretching capabilities run by AudioSnap and SONAR X3 has the ability to convert Audio to MIDI by simply dragging and dropping audio to a MIDI track. This deeply integrated technology makes SONAR perfect solution for complex pitch correction!<\/p>\n<h3>3. Floating windows get in the way, so SONAR solved that problem.<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Skylight-21.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-18252\" title=\"Skylight-21\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Skylight-21-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"331\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a>If you&#8217;re looking to purge your workflow of a cryptic DAW with an unsettling interface that is not conducive to a creative environment then you should really check out what SONAR&#8217;s been doing since the X-series overhaul. We&#8217;ve pretty much ended the floating window interface to bring users a more efficient musical experience. Our Smart Tools HUD can be accessed anywhere in the interface. Our main track view houses several different workflows that are a single click or shortcut away. Screen-sets lets you save window configurations and swap between them using your numerical keys. The list goes on and on and we&#8217;re continuing to make it better with more intuitive features.<\/p>\n<h3>4. It takes minutes to create something awesome.<\/h3>\n<p>There are programs that exist only to record and edit, and then there is SONAR &#8211; which is the major contender for the <em>entire\u00a0<\/em>creative experience. Every part of SONAR&#8217;s MIDI and virtual instrument implementation allows users drag in, route, and start composing within seconds.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/BiFilters-Track-View.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18257 alignnone\" title=\"BiFilters-Track-View\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/BiFilters-Track-View-1024x626.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<p>You can save your favorite instrument and track routing as track templates and load them into other projects without any hesitation. Complex routing tasks like a multi-track setup for Addictive Drums requires no thinking &#8211; just doing. Our synth rack stays separate from the Track View and Console view so that your processing plugins stay separate from your synthesis plugins. Organization, clarity, and not a second wasted, that&#8217;s why SONAR stays on top.<\/p>\n<h3>5. We don&#8217;t bundle useless plugins with SONAR.<\/h3>\n<p>In fact, we bundle some of the best software in the industry with SONAR. We&#8217;ve already covered the fact that Melodyne Essential comes with the product &#8211; but that doesn&#8217;t even scratch the surface.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Blue-Tubes.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-18244\" title=\"Blue Tubes\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Blue-Tubes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"383\" height=\"226\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Nomad Factory Blue Tubes bundle ships with SONAR X3 and contains as many dynamic, time-based, and eq-based plugins that you could ever need. We have astounding instruments from AAS: Strum Acoustic SONAR, and Lounge Lizard SONAR. Lastly, Addictive Drums &#8211; which will make you want to fire your drummer and spark your MIDI programming addiction. It doesn&#8217;t stop there, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cakewalk.com\/Products\/SONAR\/Versions\">check out the full list<\/a> of effects and get yourself on board with the future of the DAWs.<\/p>\n<h3>6. You&#8217;re not limited to a Track Count or Plugin Count.<\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s always that moment when you realize that your DAW has hit a brick wall with the amount of plugins or tracks that it can handle at once. SONAR doesn&#8217;t have that problem, in fact it goes above and beyond to give you the best 64-bit architecture, unlimited tracks, buses, and effects that money can buy. We even have surround sound support! No need to constantly submix your tracks or work in parts because you don&#8217;t have thousands of dollars to drop on a &#8220;pro-system&#8221;. Even at our $99 value we&#8217;ve taken out track and effects limitations and still retain flagship features like ARA and VST3.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a style=\"font-size: 13px;\" href=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/TRACKS.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-18262\" title=\"TRACKS\" src=\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/TRACKS-1024x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"553\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Upgrade to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cakewalk.com\/Products\/SONAR\/X3-Producer\">SONAR X3 Producer today!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Still not convinced? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cakewalk.com\/Products\/SONAR\/Web-Trial\">Check out SONAR free for 30-days.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
