#SONAR 8 5 PRODUCER UPGRADE#

We've already done three Sonar workshops on new features in 8.5: the PX64 'drum strip' (October 2009: /sos/oct09/articles/sonarworkshop_1009.htm), VX64 'vocal strip' (November 2009: /sos/nov09/articles/sonarworkshop_1109.htm), and Matrix View loopвЂ‘based sequencing window (December 2009: /sos/dec09/articles/sonarworkshop_1209.htm). The result is aВ mature version of Sonar 8.5 that greatly expands on versionВ 8.0. That was followed up by 8.5.2, which added aВ considerable number of useful features to the Matrix View. In typical Cakewalk fashion, they were quick out of the gate with version 8.5.1 to address several small fixes.

Well, if Propellerheads could name Reason after aВ program in aВ Douglas Adams book, then maybe some Fellini fan at Cakewalk really liked the movie 8ВЅ and thought it would make aВ good name for aВ software update.ДЄnyway, in retrospect, its release toward the end of September was perhaps premature there were some issues with the AudioSnap update, and the Matrix View - while aВ highly valuable addition - needed some useability tweaks. Other Sonar users scratched their heads, feeling that the new version justified aВ 9.0 designation and wondering why Cakewalk didn't just call it 9.0. Some Cakewalk fans felt betrayed, but cooler heads prevailed once people realised that they were getting serious value for money.

So, of course, Sonarians were expecting that version 9.0 would appear at the 2009 AES, with the usual upgrade price from whatever version they were using.Д«ut Cakewalk threw aВ curveball, instead introducing aВ 'point' upgrade at aВ reduced price ($99 for 8.0 owners). Like clockwork, every AES Convention brought aВ new version of Sonar Producer Edition and Sonar Studio Edition. Note how loops triggered in the Matrix view can be recorded (in real time, as you work in the Matrix view) into the Track view as Groove Clips. The Matrix view is being used to test out different combinations of loops to see what works well together.
