Cakewalk Product Specialist, Dan Gonzalez, shows off new SONAR Platinum right on the show floor. Watch the screen capture as he demos for a live audience, and even takes a few questions.

The pattern tool is a lot cooler than what I thought at first

I am curious what kind of machine this was run on, since the Mix Recall is not as quick as I was expecting to see (and perhaps machine related). It seems Mix Recall is a great tool for rendering mixes to new tracks (can easily identify scenes for rendering to mix tracks), but that the quickest A/B comparisons would still be achieved via exclusive solos against mix-down tracks?

Good job, Dan.

I have installed, but not played around with, Platinum.  Mix recall, based solely on this video, seems like a way to save within a save (versions within a project?)...I can see this being a useful feature for me

Yep. Much more powerful and flexible that it seems with a first loo. Wait till you get a chance to AB mixes just by a simple menu selection.

Excellent! Thanks for this. The only thing I didn't understand was vocal sync. What were you trying to sync TO?  A separately recorded second vocal?

Yep.  Its most useful for doubled vocals.  You sync one track to another...

Bimp.
