But existing Sonar users might be wondering: if the 'C' key toggles the Control Bar, how do you switch to the Split Tool? Another aspect of the user-interface overhaul in Sonar X1 is acomplete rethink (and reassignment) of the keyboard shortcuts. However, unlike Pro Tools and, particularly, unlike the annoying, everpresent Transport Bar in Logic you can toggle the visibility of the Control Bar, which is great if you're working on asystem with less visual realestate. If you wanted to employ asimple 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. The result is acleaner, crisperlooking interface that's clearly taken some inspiration from recent updates to Logic and Pro Tools, which is no bad thing. As you type, the list automatically updates to show plugins with names that match your search criteria; and once you've found the required plugin, simply drag it into the Project. As an added bonus, you get access to newsletter back issues so you don't have to miss all the great information that has already been published. 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, one particularly commendable aspect of Cakewalk's attitude towards their users is in the comparatively open communications they maintain. • • Video Library DUO-CAPTURE & SONAR X1 LE Record on the go with DUO-CAPTURE and SONAR X1 LE.
Amore interesting question to answer is whether or not Cakewalk have done enough to attract newcomers to the Sonar fold. By default, most views open in the MultiDock; and, as more views are opened, so new tabs become added to the bottom of the MultiDock, allowing you to easily switch between open Views by clicking the appropriate tabs. Previously, you'd have had to reinsert these plugins on the new channel, and then make sure the settings were the same for both the reverb and chorus effects individually. I'm sure it was great for acclimatised users in much the same way evolution has made extreme weather tolerable for polar bears but the combination of an oldschool Windows interface with an ugly sea of cryptic icons made the program less than inviting to the uninitiated. If you're new to Sonar, the fact that each MIDI and, indeed, instrument track has abuiltin arpeggiator should tell you something about the fun you can have manipulating note data with the program. 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 atrack. This runs counter to the otherwise convenient nature of Skylight, because while I understand that the Assigned Control area makes the Synth Rack View more horizontally capacious, I'd rather temporarily resize the Browser instead of having to undock it (or dock it somewhere other than the Browser) for certain functionality to be accessed. The MultiDock is basically away to incorporate Sonar's other Views, such as the Console (mixer), Step Sequencer, Piano Roll and so on, into asinglewindow framework. The Control Bar can be toggled by simply pressing the 'C' key, which is very convenient indeed. More than 500 drums loops and single hit samples based on classic grooves found in many top hits from the era – with a mix that can be described as warm, round and aggressive.
