[Currently touring internationally and working on new tracks]<\/span><\/p>\n “Upgrading to Platinum was a big deal for me.\u00a0 I basically transitioned from SONAR 8.5 and was toggling back and forth between that and X3.\u00a0 Platinum really put me over the edge to move forward.\u00a0 Once I was over the initial learning curve which was actually enjoyable, the system became more like a writing partner.\u00a0 The tools and workflow are like no other \u2013 and there are so many options to approach music in different ways, so getting creative ideas flowing is the best thing about Platinum.\u00a0 This is what really keeps my custom sound always on the cutting edge.”<\/em><\/p>\n [Currently touring and finishing a Holiday EP while also gearing up for a new full-length record 2016]<\/span><\/p>\n “I went from SONAR X2 to Platinum and the new features have been a Godsend for me.\u00a0 When I have a system that works well I usually just stick with it until I am forced to upgrade.\u00a0 The difference between X2 and Platinum for me personally meant discovering new ways to make my demos sound way better and more pro.\u00a0 I often have to send demos from my home studio to my label (Concord Music Group), and since getting onto Platinum, a lot of my tracks sound really polished.\u00a0 For me and my style of music, the combination of the comping tool and VocalSync meant the difference of actually using some vocals for my new record that I cut on my own \u2013 could have never done that with X2.”<\/em><\/p>\n [Currently working on a new film and new video game both TBA shortly]<\/span><\/p>\n “I upgraded from X3 to Platinum right when it came out.\u00a0 I usually stay behind new releases but had heard that Platinum was the most stable release to date \u2013 and it certainly is in my book.\u00a0 It\u2019s rock solid and super snappy (the only way I can really explain it).\u00a0 The features included in Platinum are hands-down better than any release Cakewalk has had in the past.\u00a0 There are so many ways to explore music creation and that is what keeps my productions sounding fresh.\u00a0 I find myself using things like Strum Session 2 and Addictive Drums 2 a lot.\u00a0 The upgrades to the ProChannel have been really useful as well.\u00a0 And I absolutely love getting the updates now \u2013 I look forward to it every month.”<\/em><\/p>\n [Just finished writing and delivering the main theme song for the Pan ParaPan Am Games]<\/span><\/p>\n “I went from SONAR X3 to Platinum and I was a bit reluctant at first since I\u2019m constantly in the trenches every day with people counting on me to deliver music to labels, artists, publishers etc. This was by far the smoothest transition I\u2019ve had with upgrading my SONAR rig.\u00a0 Whatever the code-kings did, this version of the program has been absolutely rock-solid.\u00a0 The biggest thing for me by far has been VocalSync.\u00a0 With the style of music I write and produce, I have to have big vocals to stay in the game.\u00a0 VocalSync gives me so many options on how I place vocals in mixes.\u00a0 I can quickly embellish a lead vocal track by tightening another to it, and then processing it in a whole different way for different effects in the mix.\u00a0 Time really is money for me, and the tools in Platinum have never been more creative or professional in any prior SONAR release.”<\/em><\/p>\n [Currently working on music for various forms of media and performing live with various artists]<\/span><\/p>\n “I upgraded not too long ago from SONAR X3 to Platinum and have noticed a big difference in the program.\u00a0 First of all, it\u2019s much quicker and seems to be way more efficient than X3.\u00a0 To some, that might not mean much, but for what I do it\u2019s important.\u00a0 Besides playing guitar for some great artists and doing my own music (you can read more about that here http:\/\/yogimusic.com\/bio\/<\/a> =), I write a lot of music for commercials and libraries through agencies \u2013 this is where time is a factor and Platinum is really efficient.\u00a0 The ability to totally customize the program to my workflow gives me the ability to deliver more music, and better quality music in way less time.\u00a0 The upgrade to Addictive Drums 2 is worth it alone not to mention all the other new features and tools.”<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/noelborthwick.com\/cakewalk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Javier-Colon.png\" "\\"Javier")
