Everyone at Cakewalk is still buzzing about how it can transform a simple loop, or drum tracks recorded in less ideal conditions, into amazing sounding drums. Additionally, we have improved the overall SONAR experience with 40 fixes, the new Sizzle Bus FX Chain for mixing and mastering, and have included some awesome drum content to complement Drum Replacer. And to help everyone get the most of this powerful new tool, we have posted four free <a title=\"Drum Replacer Videos\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cakewalk.com\/Products\/Drum-Replacer\/Videos\" target=\"_blank\">Drum Replacer video tutorials<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This release also has a deeper meaning to me. It\u2019s now June, five months after we launched the New SONAR. Drum Replacer is not a minor update. \u00a0Third party equivalent plug-ins cost hundreds of dollars, but SONAR Platinum customers receive it at no additional cost. In the annual upgrade model (SONAR X3 or earlier), people wouldn\u2019t have seen this feature until next January. But since we have introduced \u201cmembership,\u201d we can bring this to you today, almost 8 months sooner.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s been a lot of fuss and confusion about SONAR\u2019s new membership program, and why we created it. It&#8217;s NOT a subscription scheme, because you can still own (not rent) SONAR, and never need to make a monthly payment if you don&#8217;t want to. SONAR \u201cEverett\u201d is what SONAR membership is really all about. Our ability to develop, test, refine, and release exciting SONAR features to users throughout the year. It&#8217;s about continuous innovation. It&#8217;s about helping you make better music every day.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<br \/>\nMichael<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week we launched the\u00a0SONAR \u201cEverett,&#8221; Release\u00a0which includes our new Drum Replacer tool.
