Cakewalk Sonar LE

More info on the Cakewalk / Edirol deal

Cakewalk made a killer announcement for anyone looking to break into the higher end of multitrack audio recording without going broke. Several Edirol products are now shipping with an LE version of Sonar 4.0, the Cakewalk flagship editing product. While Sonar LE isn't the full fledged version you get buying direct, it's certainly no slouch. With 24-bit/192 kHz recording, 14 audio effects, 4 MIDI effects, two included DX software synths, up to 64 audio and 256 MIDI tracks, drum editing, notation, ReWire support, DirectX and VST plugin support, this is a direct shot across the Pro Tools bow. A recent deal to enhance Pro Tools LE for M-Audio users looks like a waste of time from DigiDesign when compared to this Cakewalk offering. Pro Tools may still carry a ton of mindshare, but I've seen Sonar in action and I know it handles everything you could want from an audio system at a fraction of buying into the Pro Tools brand.
