From Our Research Team:

Your Start-to-finish Music Production Suite!

NOTE: This is a special offer for owners of SONAR versions 1-6 products or any version of Studio to upgrade to SONAR X1 Producer at a reduced price.

Are you ready to make music? Cakewalk SONAR X1 Producer is. This amazing DAW is like nothing you've seen before. Cakewalk SONAR X1 Producer isn't just an upgrade from version 8.x, it's a complete redesign of the SONAR environment that will speed up your workflow and keep you locked in your creative zone. With SONAR X1 Producer, you have everything you need to go from a clean slate to broadcast-ready music and cinematic soundscapes. The overarching concept behind the SONAR X1 environment is the new Skylight user interface environment.

Skylight combines the flexibility responsible for making SONAR one of the most popular DAWs with a MultiDock toolbar that keeps all of SONAR X1's modules right at your fingertips. Instantly call up the track view for recording or the MIDI editor for sequencing, then switch to the Matrix and lay down a pattern - all without surfing through complicated menus. There's no complicated setup to deal with, clunky user interface to master, or anything else to get between you and your music. Screensets let you instantly jump from one purpose-ready layout to another. Track in one layout, switch Screensets to lay down a MIDI-based synth part, and then switch Screensets again to go back for overdubs. It's that easy.

SONAR X1's new smart tools also ensure that your creative flow is never broken, allowing you to edit both audio and MIDI with a single tool. The Inspector module gives you complete drag-and-drop simplicity, allowing you to easily add drum patterns, instrument riffs, virtual instruments, FX chains, multitrack templates, and more to your session - all from a single consolidated browser window.

No matter what kind of studio you work in, SONAR X1 Producer will give your tracks that big-studio sound. ProChannel is the key to SONAR X1 Producer's genuine analog sound. It adds in-line analog-style signal processing to each of your mixer channels. There are three parts to the ProChannel: the EQ, the compressor, and the tube saturation engine. Each of these sections provide multiple models of real vintage gear and are completely tweakable. SONAR X1 Producer edition also gives you an exclusive suite of additional plug-ins, covering production, channel strips, and mastering processors. On top of that, you get a whole lineup of essential production tools.

AudioSnap 2.0 lets you quickly and easily correct the timing of your audio tracks, and Roland's V-Vocal pitch correction engine gives you everything from subtle pitch correction to extreme hard-tuning effects. A collection of 13 amazing T and S Series effects give you advanced mixing options above and beyond SONAR X1's core suite of 31 standard professional-level plug-ins. You also get 10 go-to virtual instruments, as well as four fantastic synths from RGC. When it comes to laying down tracks, SONAR X1's non-linear Matrix view lets you seamlessly incorporate MIDI and audio loops into your projects, and Step Sequencer 2.0 makes laying down beats and synth lines a blast. Add to that a whole list of bundled plug-ins, and it's easy to see why Cakewalk SONAR X1 Producer is the future of PC-based music production!

Sonar Producer X1

by Digital One Studio from Murfreesboro,Tn
April 30, 2012
Music Background: Producer, Engineer, Artist
Absolutly professional. This is as good as it gets. And, do yourself a favor, and add the Producer Expanded upgrade as well. How would you like to be able to add (for just a few dollars as an add on)a... read more [+] meticulosly modeled after LA-2A.....(called a PC-2A) on every channel!! You can, once you have added Expanded!! I am running 32 tracks.....so thats 32 modeled LA-2A's ,which in the hardware version??? would cost you about 96,000 dollars!!! This software system is one of the best I have ever seen. They have been developing software for 20 years+ now, leaving most of their competitors in the dust. And the X1-Producer is the finest and most professional system they have ever developed. I am in a Pro Tools town... Nashville, Music City USA. And I would not swap this system out for anything. Period.To compete with this software??? you would have to spend MEGA dollars with (you know who) and go WAAAYYYY up into their HD vesions and all the added hardware, plug in's, spending an absolute fortune....when it's already here in one box with Sonar Producer and the Expanded upgrade. I am VERY proud to say I don't run PT when people ask. These PT guys have no idea...until I turn on my dual LEDS, and Producer Expanded comes up...and they see the screen layout, all the Expanded Pro Channels opened up in full glory....with a modeled LA-2A staring them in the face on every channel...and then their jaws drop... and rightly so.You don't know what your missing, until PROVEN otherwise!!! The screen sets are excellent, the performance and sound are SECOND TO NONE, the operation is excellent. All in 64 bit. And you can import and export in ANY format that you choose. And the Pro Channel is just that. A Professional channel capable of handling anything and everything modeled after some of the most sought after mixing console's components.Once you use this software, you will never look back. THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING RECORDING SOFTWARE, BEFORE HALF OF THE COMPANYS TODAY WERE EVEN IN EXSISTANCE. (including you know who) Does that tell you anything?
They should market themselves as the "indusry standard", because they invented half to most of it over the past twenty years anyway!!!!, but they don't. They don't jam anything at anyone.They just quietly move along, and develope the best recording software in the industry.That's what they do best, develope software, and EVERY competitor, copies it over the next 5 years, which by then, they are already 5 years ahead of everyone again, as they have always been.They are not trying to sell you 100,000 dollar controller or ouboard expensive gear , they just want you to use their software, which is the best recording software that YOUR money can buy. Let me give you a formula to have the best sounding studio in a 500 mile radius of where you live. BUY A CREATION STATION FROM SWEETWATER LIKE I DID!!!, (a serious pro machine and worth every cent) BUY PRODUCER!!!, UPGRADE TO EXPANDED!!!, AND STOP WASTING TIME READING FORUMS!!!! COMPARING THIS TO THAT!!! GET TO WORK!!! AND START MAKING HIT RECORDS !!!!! Enough said. close [-]

Great upgrade to an already strong product. I upgraded from a very early version and I didn't have the older version installed at the time. The Cakewalk server knew I was a registered user and must ... read more [+]have allowed the install. I am very happy with the software. I am also happy with my sales guy! He even called to see if there were any issues with the install and if everything was OK. Who DOES that with software???? Sweetwater does! :-) close [-]

I just upgraded from Sonar 6 and wow what a difference I really like it, unfortunatley not being a tech guru I fond the back end very difficult to set up but with the help of some fine firends I am up... read more [+] and running, still got an awful lot to learn but so far I really like it.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
