Improved in SONAR X2

Skylight User Interface

The Skylight User Interface was a huge innovation in SONAR X1 and it's even better in SONAR X2. With Auto Zoom, Timeline Zoom, Smart Grid, and a revamped NOW time, Skylight looks better than ever and contains numerous improvements that make it faster and more fluid.

Improved Smart Tool

Introduced in SONAR X1, the Smart Tool drastically reduced the need to switch tools. In SONAR X2, the Smart Tool practically eliminates that need completely. And most common functions don't even need a modifier key. Range select across tracks, paint MIDI notes, draw automation and more.

Better Views

Many of SONAR’s views have been updated to improve function and match the look and feel of the Skylight User Interface. New Take Lanes, enhanced Clips Pane, improved PRV, Loop Construction View and the revamped Matrix View are better integrated and dramatically improve user experience.

Automation

SONAR X2 now includes Automation Lanes which make it easier to create professional, dynamic mixes. In addition to lanes, SONAR X2 includes new Latch, Touch, Overwrite, and Punch, modes as well as improved editing with the Smart Tool including freehand and line drawing.

Try the ProChannel

What is ProChannel

The mixing console is the nerve center of the studio and at the heart of every great sounding track. Available exclusively in SONAR X2 Producer, the ProChannel equips SONAR's already impressive console with big, epic, pro-studio sound.

Built-in Effects

Build your dream channel with an unlimited number of ProChannel strips - from the creamy QuadCurve EQ, smooth optical compression to complex FX chains, tube saturation and detailed console emulation.

BREREVERB SONAR

Pure, unadulterated, world-class reverb inspired by classic hardware is now fully integrated into SONAR X2 Producer. Perfectly suited to any mixing or post-production task, BREVERB SONAR is flexible, easy to use and sounds utterly superb.

FX Chains

Each version of SONAR X2 contains a collection of handcrafted FX Chains for a variety of mixing tasks. SONAR X2 Producer ups the ante with ProChannel FX Chains, making the ProChannel a truly epic force when it comes to mixing.
