On the whole, I found the program to be pretty stable, and most occurrences of misbehaviour were slight interface anomalies.
Occasionally, Views would open as Windows rather than in the MultiDock even if they were last used in the MultiDock, or the button to add extra Controller Panes in the Piano Roll View would be missing until the Controller Pane was resized — that kind of thing. However, Cakewalk released the first X1A update in late December, and this ironed out many of the creases found in the initial release. Hopefully X1B will be along soon to continue the good work, and one can be reassured by the fact that there are plenty of letters left in the alphabet.
It perhaps goes without saying that if you're an existing Sonar user and you like working in 8. A more interesting question to answer is whether or not Cakewalk have done enough to attract newcomers to the Sonar fold. So, by way of summing up, Sonar X1 is a huge step forward for Sonar, and I think Cakewalk will almost certainly succeed in attracting new users.
If you're a Windows user and haven't found a music production application that quite suits your taste, Sonar X1 might just be the flavour for you. Activate it on your Master Channel and enjoy. Three 'styles' of EQ are available — pure, vintage, and modern — and, according to Cakewalk, they provide different interactions between the Q and Level settings.
Pure is the cleanest, most transparent setting, and was the one I generally preferred for most types of material. The three knobs, as you would possibly expect, control the input and output levels as well as the drive, and are capable of dialling up some pretty nice results.
A further section of ProChannel allows you to set the routing of the three modules, making it possible to change the order in which each module processes the signal. Usefully, it's also possible to set whether the ProChannel's processing occurs prior to the channel's effects bin which is the default or after it.
ProChannel is accessible via the Inspector or Console Views; and on the Console View, it is displayed to the right of a Channel, making it possible to have multiple ProChannels open simultaneously.
Conveniently, even if the full ProChannel interface isn't visible, a few additional controls are accessible from the Channel Strip to enable or bypass the individual components, or even adjust a miniature version of the EQ curve.
To complement the new Skylight interface, Cakewalk's developers have also reworked and consolidated a number of Sonar's editing techniques. Like most music software, Sonar has always provided a series of tools to carry out certain editing tasks. For example, the Track View's Select tool could be used to select and move Clips, and also to change the start and end points of Clips if the mouse cursor was positioned over the appropriate 'hotspot'.
Fortunately, the tool situation is very different in Sonar X1, and, perhaps most significantly, the behaviour of tools is now consistent across all Views. The Tools Module in the Control Bar shows the currently selected tool and provides access to the others, although tools can also be selected using the Function keys or via the new Heads Up Display HUD.
One particularly interesting note about switching tools via the Function key shortcuts is that you can temporarily summon the behaviour of a given tool by holding down the relevant key, but not letting go until after you've performed the appropriate edit operation.
Once you're done, releasing the key will return you to the originally selected tool, which is kind of neat. This makes it possible to invoke the split function, for example, simply by holding down the Alt key with the Smart tool selected, rather than having to switch to the Split tool and then back to your originally selected tool again.
A big improvement. Another new feature that makes certain editing tasks simpler in Sonar X1 is the Edit Filter. Each Track's Edit Filter is set to Clips by default, allowing you move and edit Clips; but you can also select Audio Transients for audio tracks or Notes for MIDI and instrument tracks , or any of the available automation parameters for a track.
As you can imagine, this makes dealing with automation significantly more convenient than in the previous version of Sonar. One particularly neat feature of the Edit Filter is the number of ways you can set the type of data to which the Edit Filter allows access. Sonar X1 is available in three flavours to suit different budgets and requirements. When it comes to instruments, there are perhaps a few more offerings to get excited about.
Overall, Sonar X1's included instruments and effects are a bit of a mixed bag. There's some good stuff included, of course; but there also seems to be a lack of consistency in terms of quality and user experience.
If you wanted to employ a simple sampled piano sound, for example, it might not be immediately obvious what instrument should be opened. In judging Sonar's instruments and effects, it's interesting to make comparisons with the competition.
For example, while Logic also has some older effects and instruments that have been around since Logic 4 was launched in , Apple have at least maintained the user interfaces to keep them consistent with more modern offerings, making it easy for new users who started using Logic more recently.
