schmoron13 Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Ok, so I've just about decided to get the Aardvark Q10 as my soundcard and it comes with Cakewalk pro audio 9, but I can't find out what that is anywhere...I though sonar replaced cakewalk after v8, so is pro audio 9 sonar 1.0 or something else? HELP ME PLEASE!!!!
Magpel Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 PA 9 is the last version of Cakewalk (9.03 to be precise). It's a very stable and usable Cakewalk. Sonar is very different. The most trumpeted changes are DXi instruments and realtime effects monitoribg, if you got the computer for it. They've also altered their mixing paradigm quite a bit from what I can tell, but I haven't used Sonar. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp
schmoron13 Posted July 24, 2002 Author Posted July 24, 2002 thanks magpel...so are the two comparable to nuendo and cubase sx in a way, or am I comparing apples and oranges? also, does cakewalk support any vst instruments ( i know the old ones didn't), but hoping...

Sonar sort of represents Cakewalk's response to Cubase by virtue of the DXi support. Yes, you can use VST effects and instruments in Sonar via a VST to DX adapter. FXpansion makes one, and there are several others. I can't attest to how well they work, or how they affect CPU usage, but it seems that they do work. I forgot to mention that Sonar also has loop tools like Acid. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp
