Cakewalk has announced that it has updated its popular SONAR Home Studio 7 and Home Studio 7 XL software to version 7.0.1. This update enhances performance and usability across the entire application. Just some of the issues resolved in SONAR Home Studio v7.0.1 include:
- Inserting and assigning sends is more stable and responsive.
- Arming single parameters for automation is now functioning properly.
- The Insert Controllers command no longer causes freezes and instability in SONAR Home Studio.
- Editing track and bus names no longer causes CPU spikes.
- The Plug-in Manager no longer crashes on exporting a preset from the ACT MIDI Controller.
- Inaccuracies have been corrected regarding nudging, snapping, sliding, and inserting time by Frames.
- Instabilities regarding QuickTime import/export have been addressed.
- In rare cases, SONAR Home Studio would crash when recording a stream of MIDI data (more likely on multi-core/multi-processor systems). This has been fixed.
- Loading projects saved with the Loop Explorer View or Loop Construction View opened no longer causes system instability.
- On some system configurations, project playback would stall/pause intermittently. This has been corrected.
- Multi-selected clips could not be cropped together at certain zoom levels. This has been fixed.
- The Quick Start dialogue is now available in all languages.
SONAR Home Studio 7 owners who wish to upgrade to the Cakewalk SONAR 8 Producer Edition can now do so for $299.97. Other qualifying products for this upgrade include Guitar Tracks, Guitar Tracks Pro, Kinetic, Pro Audio, and Project 5.
