I am simply blown way by Cakewalk products. A few months I downloaded Music Creator but didn't really get to working with it until a few weeks ago. Loved it! But there were a couple limitations that I can't live without, so late last night I downloaded SONAR Artist. I was up into the wee hours getting to know it, and wow... I can't believe the power I now have. And that's just with Artist! I can't imagine what Pro or Platinum would do to me! lol
In my opinion, Cakewalk products surpass the competitor I've also been trying out. They have a more friendly interface, more ease of use in many areas, and generally allows me to keep the creative flow going without getting bogged down in guesswork.
The past few weeks have been my first dive into the DAW world, so the learning curve has been a little steeper than I expected. My experience for many years was in traditional studios with all the usual hardware, hardwire and gadgetry. But my last studio work was 20 years ago! So the whole software angle is a very new concept to me, yet Cakewalk has made it easy and actually fun.
Just wanted to post this to say thanks to the creators. Job well done, and I look forward to using your products for a long time!
