Duplicate Track Button October 2017 Duplicating a track is a widely used technique for mixing to create thick vocals when you add compression and chorus to the double. It is also very handy during recording when you are creating different parts using the same instrument or audio setup. In SONAR 2017.09 update we have added a dedicated button for this in the Track view to make it even faster. So you can focus on the music you are making instead of how you are getting there.

In addition, we're also kicking off Month 2 of our 30th Anniversary Celebration with 30 new FX Chains designed by Craig Anderton and our second edition of the free Tech + Music magazine. Come celebrate with us! . Improved Touch Zooming & Scrolling June 2017 Zooming into a particular point using touch in SONAR is better than ever before. The 2017.06 update has improved detection of touch points making it smoother and more accurate. Previously zooming with Touch could cause tracks and clips to feel like they were moving away or scrolling unexpectedly.

This now feels fluid and much more natural. Touch Zooming now also has improved anchoring of the touch position so making a desired track larger or zooming into a specific drum hit is reliable, intuitive and feels very precise. These enhancements are both available in the Track view and Piano Roll view. Virtual Controller / Keyboard access June 2017 The Virtual Controller has now been separated into two view menu items: Computer Keyboard (Alt+0) and Piano Keyboard (ALT+SHIFT+0 ). Download Free Asghar Ghori Rhcsa Pdf Download.

You can now access either mode directly via menu commands and keyboard shortcuts. Opening of one these and saving will now also save with the project. In addition, when the Virtual Controller Computer Keyboard is open, it no longer blocks R (Record), Delete, or shortcuts that use a modifier. This allows you to open views, access menus, and use any multi-key shortcut such as CTRL+S for Save, CTRL+Z for Undo and CTRL+SHIFT+Z for Redo, etc. Improved Project Handling June 2017 Never wonder again where your files went when you’re in the heat of creativity. As soon as you decide to save a new project, SONAR will create a folder automatically with the appropriate name, and place the project audio and Mix Scenes in it—there’s no need to create a folder beforehand. And, if you later “Save As” or “Save As Copy” in the same location as the current project, SONAR will know this is the original location and not create additional folders—but if you save to a different location, SONAR will intelligently place the project and associated files in a new folder.

Now you can spend more time making music—and less time thinking about where to store it. SONAR 2017.05 May 2017 May 2017 marks Cakewalk’s 30th Anniversary, so —and everyone’s invited! We’ve lined up some cool freebies, specials, and surprises you’ll be seeing over the next 12 months, starting with 30 free, expertly crafted presets for the QuadCurve EQ to kickstart your mixing and mastering projects.

To celebrate our past and honor our loyal customers, we’re happy to announce the release of a long-time feature request for SONAR: Ripple Editing is now included in the SONAR 2017.05 Update.

This month’s release also brings other new features along with fixes & enhancements to many key elements of SONAR. . Ripple Editing May 2017 Ripple Editing allows for a convenient way to rearrange sections of a song and maintain the sync relationships without leaving unintended gaps between the clips. When adjusting the position of a clip in the Track view, SONAR will automatically adjust the start position of all subsequent clips to compensate for the change. You can choose to ripple edit just the selection, or all tracks plus meter/key changes, tempo changes, and markers. Supported gestures include; Cut, Copy, Paste, Move, and Delete. You can use these gestures on Tracks or Buses and the automation will follow along with markers and meter changes when using Ripple Edit All.

Adaptive Limiter May 2017 The Adaptive Limiter is a professional look-ahead brickwall peak limiter that is designed for both mixing and mastering now available in the Engineering Suite. It feature Inter Sample Peak (ISP) detection, 4 different limiting “Character” types, LUFS Loudness & K-Metering, as well MP3 codec preview, and real-time dithering. These different limiting types allow the engineer to have control over how transparent or aggressive the limiter behaves so it can be catered for different material making it a great track limiter and a perfect mastering limiter. Enhanced Pen Support May 2017 Working with a pen can be incredibly useful on a computer because of its precision. It is also a great workflow enhancement when you combine it with touch and keyboard shortcuts. Using a pen is now a great way to use SONAR’s Piano Roll view. The PRV now offers enhanced support for a pen’s eraser functionality and pressure-sensitive tip when drawing Note events and continuous controller data.

You can also use the button on the side for opening menus and lassoing notes in the Piano Roll. Adding a pen to your workflow will be intuitive to adopt and can greatly improve your efficiency. Transform Tool April 2017 New to the Controller pane is the Transform tool. The Transform tool provides a new and unique way to edit in the Controller pane, by allowing for easy sculpting and manipulating of data. It has 2 main modes, Hard (Default) and Soft. These each control the way it interacts with nearby data.

While the Hard mode provides crisp and precise edits, the Soft mode blends new changes with other nearby data. This is similar to how 2 audio clips can crossfade between each other. With its Mask mode, users get improved redrawing of data but only in the area of the mask. This makes redrawing only a specific section incredibly easy when paired with the Soft mode. Additionally, the Transform tool also has the ability to follow note selections with the “Auto-Focus” and Auto-Focus Monophonic modes. Now you can simply select the CC data you want to work with by selecting the associated notes. Piano Roll View Enhancements March 2017 Cakewalk reaches back to its MIDI sequencing roots to optimize SONAR’s core MIDI editing for today’s generation of virtual instruments.

The SONAR 2017.03 update addresses modern MIDI music production needs through a redesign of the Piano Roll View (PRV) Track Pane and the Controller Pane. From efficient, simple controller editing to clean and focused MIDI track selection, SONAR has transformed MIDI editing from tedious to transparent. You can now click any MIDI track to bring that data into focus, while Auto Lock prevents you from accidentally editing MIDI data from other tracks. Color-coding relates tracks to data for easy identification in complex projects. The re-designed Track Pane displays twice as many tracks in the same amount of space as before, and now allows you to take advantage of SONAR’s unique Smart Swipe feature that lets you select, mute, solo, or arm multiple tracks with a single, quick gesture. UWP MIDI Engine & Bluetooth MIDI Support March 2017 Microsoft have introduced a new API standard for using MIDI on Windows as part of the Universal Windows Platform architecture.

With this comes many new advantages including Bluetooth MIDI support and Multi-Client access to MIDI ports. UWP MIDI provides a modern way to communicate with MIDI devices and can be extended to support newer MIDI protocols/interfaces. To enable this in SONAR go to, Preferences MIDI Playback and Recording and set the MIDI driver mode to UWP. Comping Enhancements February 2017 Comping doesn't have to be a repetitive, mundane chore--the SONAR 2017.02 update makes it faster, easier, and more efficient than ever to assemble the best parts of multiple takes into finished, killer tracks.

• SONAR re-uses empty lanes when comp recording, so projects are more compact and easier to edit • SONAR automatically hides muted takes - takes you likely didn’t want to hear - when you collapse the takes into a track • Double-click to maximize / restore Take lanes - easy in, easy out! • When comping with Melodyne, cropping clips updates the region shown in Melodyne’s window--SONAR’s advanced ARA (Audio Random Access) integration makes it possible And as always, the latest update includes bug fixes and various other enhancements. Enhancements • The Notes tab in the Browser now has a Copyright field. This was previously available in the Project info screen and is now available again using the Notes tab. Cakewalk 2016.10 October 2016 Don’t worry, you don’t need glasses—it says “Cakewalk” instead of “SONAR” update. But there’s a good reason for that: While our SONAR dev team is hard at work on some bigger features that will roll out in the next few months, we decided it was time to add some features and fixes to other popular products in the Cakewalk lineup.

Rapture Pro and Rapture Session have some useful new features along with fixes, there’s info on how to get the CA-2A T-Type Leveling Amp for free, and of course, SONAR gets attention with support for Softube’s Console 1 and several important fixes. . Curated Fixes July 2016 This month Cakewalk has addressed four curated fixes throughout SONAR’s workspace. Global Un-Solo now operates at a much faster pace when dealing with larger projects. Crossfades now produce expected results when working with multiple tracks. SONAR now has improved error handling with track references during the load of project. Add track menu correctly enables Record Enable for MIDI Only tracks.

Lastly, Cakewalk has resolved an issue where some VST3 plugins would not resize properly. SONAR 2016.06 June 2016 The Tungsten theme matures further in this month’s update, thanks to several tweaks that improve various visual elements—but that's just one of the cool features in 2016.06. Smart Swipe is an innovative workflow enhancer where you can quickly enable and disable buttons on multiple tracks by clicking a button in one track, then dragging across adjacent tracks without releasing the mouse button. There are also several improvements to TH3 Cakewalk Edition, including the much-requested ability to load Impulse Responses for cabinets. . SONAR 2016.04 April 2016 SONAR 2016.04 brings three exciting new plug-ins to SONAR including the new linear-phase mastering-quality plug-ins for multiband compression and EQ. Built from the ground up, the latest versions are a new design with superior performance, more options, and a more informative user interface. Guitarists (and bassists) can look forward to Overloud TH3 Cakewalk Edition, which is available in all versions of SONAR.

It features more refined and detailed algorithms, improved cabinet IR responses, and a classic bass amp emulation. In addition, there are new fixes and enhancements to the core program. . Cakewalk LP EQ and MB April 2016 These transparent linear-phase processors are a staple for any modern SONAR engineer. Tweak your masters with all 20 bands of the LP EQ, or 6 bands of clean, frequency-based compression on the LP MB. Individually control, solo and modify each band as a mid, side, or stereo plugin and save out your favorite settings with a brand new Preset Manager. Built from the ground, these plugins are guaranteed to give you all the tools you need to finalize your mixes for today’s standards. . SONAR Lexington December 2015 It’s the holiday season, and we hope all of you are getting ever closer to realizing your musical dreams.

We’re doing our best to help contribute to that cause, and given the response to Kingston’s speed increases and improved stability, this month’s Lexington release does an encore by focusing again on making SONAR even faster and more rock-solid that ever. But that’s not all: this month we also unveil five new Style Dials that give you one-knob access to handy processing effects for guitar, vocals, and drums. .

SONAR Jamaica Plain October 2015 This month’s update emphasizes major performance optimizations that affect all SONAR users—especially those who use lots of virtual instruments—as well as a ground-breaking new addition to SONAR’s Universal Routing Technology: Patch Points. Now you can create, name, and delete “Patch Points” for bus and track I/O, and interconnect them for functions like track-to-track recording, bus-to-track recording, submixing, and much more. Of course that’s not all, so we won’t keep you—start reading, and make some great music . SONAR Ipswich September 2015 The big Ipswich news is real-time, direct recording of instrument tracks, but that’s not all.

Exporting just became a whole lot easier thanks to export presets and the ability to export multiple, individual clips simultaneously. Ipswich also sees the addition of MixStrips and Style Dials to SONAR Artist, as well as ProChannel versions of the Style Dials for SONAR Professional and Platinum.

There’s even PNG support for track icons, and as usual, fixes and enhancements to make the SONAR environment ever more stable. . Plug-In Upsampling June 2015 Recording at higher sample rates can make an audible, obvious improvement with some virtual instruments and processors by eliminating foldover distortion—but the higher sampling rate may tax your CPU.

This breakthrough feature gives you the benefits of using higher sample rate processing even in normal projects (e.g. At 44.1 kHz or 48KHz) by internally 2X up-sampling plug-ins of your choice, rendering them as audio without the distortion, then down-sampling the clean audio back down to the original sample rate. SONAR Dorchester April 2015 This update includes new fixes, features, and content to help you get even more out of SONAR.

Most features relate to improved workflow and operational efficiency, including time-savers like the option to have synth rack settings persist during Mix Recall, Smart Mute/Solo for drum maps, improved GUI handling, and more. For content, there are two new “pedalboard” effects chains, 72 novel “synthetic” impulse responses for REmatrix Solo, an FX chain for mastering kick drums, and even a helpful tutorial. . SONAR Cambridge March 2015 It’s been another busy month at the Bakery, and we're back with another update. Now that we've had a month to collect feedback from the community, this update concentrates on fixes and workflow enhancements. And for content fans, we've included a brand new Les Paul Gold Top expansion pack for Dimension Pro from Craig Anderton.

SONAR Professional and Platinum customers also get a new ProChannel module from Boz Digital Labs. Here's an overview of the new SONAR 'Cambridge'. . Addictive Drums 2 January 2015 SONAR includes the world's finest drum kits and percussion instruments.
