First is Sound Center, a kind of greatest hits version of Cakewalk’s soft synths, including Dimension Pro and Rapture (Tape Op #53). X1 is much tidier in organization, and shortcuts are now more intuitive.īefore digging too deep into the new look and ergonomics of SONAR X1, let’s take a look at two of its new features. Also, a lot of the shortcuts and key bindings had a similar hodgepodge organization. For a newcomer, it was rather intimidating.
Everything was there, but you had to know where to look. The old SONAR (#61, #69) tacked on new features and functions as they were introduced, so it eventually took on a broom-closet look. When I first opened X1, it reminded me of Cakewalk’s VS DAW that comes with V-Studio 100 (Tape Op #74), except with a lot more going on.
Just as SONAR kept much of Pro Audio’s functionality but sported a new look, the X refers to an all-new SONAR without losing the name recognition. In the beginning, Twelve Tone Systems begat Cakewalk MIDI Sequencer for DOS, and Cakewalk begat Pro Audio, which begat SONAR, which begat SONAR X1.
