What is it supposed to do? All it is is a white screen. How is it you guys have the new Sonar?

When you buy the new SONAR, the screen gets populated. Here is the doc on the tool http://www.cakewalk.com/D...uction.28.html#1435096
 
About 1:30 into this video shows it in use http://youtu.be/oG62qz0_q88 

How is one supposed to buy Sonar? There is no "buy now" link that takes me to the sales desk.

How is one supposed to buy Sonar? There is no "buy now" link that takes me to the sales desk.

At the moment I think it is limited to "presales" only to some people. Not sure why.

Cakewalk sent out early invitations to a lucky few.
Goes on sale I believe on Jan 21st. to the rest of us.
 

What a load.

yeah, it's kind of a tease but Cakewalk have made a lot of changes to things which have been fairly static for a long time like the new installer front end and a whole new store. I am guessing they want to see how this stuff works in the wild with a limited roll out before the general opening.

I feel slapped in the face. There are some here who are new using the new version?

It is a random selection based on sign up here https://www.cakewalk.com/.oducts/SONAR/Coming-Soon

Don't feel slapped in the face.
 
I think it's kinda cool for a number of reasons.
 
First, it could be a slow roll out to reduce the bandwidth pull.
In the past some users have complained about slow downloads. By rolling out in small groups, the load is distributed.
 
Second, a lot of the regulars are having to wait. This means that a different group of people are the first ones commenting on the products. In the past, it tends to be everyone at once giving their thoughts. 
 
Third, because of the lower number of new users, bugs are discovered a little slower giving the Bakers time to respond to issues better.
