Cakewalk has been first to innovate on Windows Vista, x64 processing, multi-core and multi-processor support, and 64-bit double precision audio quality, and we incorporate it seamlessly so all you need to think about is making music.

Make it your own

SONAR gives you the freedom to configure your studio to meet your unique needs. It's compatible with your choice of WDM or ASIO hardware from the stock sound card that ships with your PC all the way up to an SSL AWS 900+ console. If you're switching to SONAR you can load presets of keystrokes from your favorite applications and you can make your own. It features the best support for control surfaces and MIDI controllers, and you can expand your creative abilities with DSP cards, and third party VST, DirectX, and ReWire effects and instruments. Plus you can customize menus, toolbars, layouts, channel presets, track icons, color schemes, and more just the way you like it.
