    No, all current Cakewalk programs run audio well. You can use loops and samples, even MIDI loops through a software synthesizer, so you don't necessarily have to be able to play a keyboard. Shucks, these days you don't necessarily have to play any instrument.

    Like greg says you really don't even need to play an instrument of any kind, the tools available in Sonar will let you do incredible things with even a minuscule amount of musical knowledge, and a little practice
