Anaheim, CA, NAMM 2007 (Booth 6800), (January 18, 2007) — Cakewalk, the world’s leading developer of powerful and easy to use products for music creation and recording, has announced an update to SONAR LE with new features from Cakewalk’s critically-acclaimed flagship DAW, SONAR 6. SONAR LE provides a cutting edge, music production studio in an OEM offering, giving users what they need to get started creating music on Windows XP, X64, or Vista PCs.

SONAR LE has been made easier and more powerful with user interface enhancements including a redesigned Console View, Synth Rack, and new Track Icons.

Other features include control surface support, 14 included audio effects, powerful instruments, and the capability to record at sample rates of up to 192 kHz. The program also adds support for CueChunk Markers, for importing marker data from wave files created by popular digital field recorders.

Availability

The nw version of SONAR LE will be available from Cakewalk for OEM bundling in February 2007. SONAR LE will be available as a stand alone application or as part of the Production Plus Pack which includes Project5 LE and Dimension LE. For inquiries about OEM licensing, contact Gina Gaffney.
