VX64Vocal Strip (Producer Exclusive)
VX64 Vocal Strip is a sevenstage processor designed for sculpting incredible sounding vocal tracks. Each of the VX64’s stages have been finetuned to bevocalspecific, taking the work out of loading an entire chain of vocal processors. The VX64 features a new Cakewalk technology that employs phasecoherent, multiband saturation to avoid unwanteddistortion; unique filtering to avoid artifacts at extreme high and low frequencies; and an autoleveling circuit that prevents the tube saturation from sounding too harsh when high gaintransients are processed by it. VX64 also employs a new deessing algorithm designed with Cakewalk’s LP64 linear phase effect filtering technology to remove sibilance without creating anyfrequency smearing.
The VX64 includes 64 goto presets and click & drag reordering of processing stage routing, making it fast and easy to get high quality vocals in seconds.
Processing stages include:
•Input — simulates a tube pre amp.
•Deesser — removes sibilance without smearing.

AudioSnap 2.0
AudioSnap 2.0 The original AudioSnap provided powerful, nondestructive, multitrack controlover audio timing. AudioSnap 2.0 provides a refreshing new look and refinements to its core controls, significantly improving workflow. New features include a simplified UI, dedicated transienttool, proportional stretching mode, and multitrack audio stretch and quantization that maintains accurate phase relationships. Proportional stretching can be used both to correct unwantedtiming fluctuations and provide gradual timing adjustments across several transients. In addition, rendered audio fidelity is greatly improved using the new Radius Mix Advance Mode.
New inAudioSnap 2:
•AudioSnap Palette presents all commands and options in one easytoread toolbar.
•Simplified transient marker appearance reduces visual clutter and enhancesfocus on relevant information.
•Transient Tool allows for dragging or snapping of transients without having to worry about inadvertently moving an audio clip; lasso selection allowsfor grouped transient edits.
•The Merge and Lock transients command is great for editing, stretching, and quantizing multitrack drums while keeping audio in phase.
•Grouped proportional stretching allows for the easy correction of fluctuations in the tempo of a performance without losing feel.
•Tab to Transients available from theTrack and Piano Roll Views, follows Audio, Groove, Step Sequencer, and MIDI Groove Clips.
•Tempo detection, tempo mapping, and tempo syncing audio. New tempo detection algorithmautodetects the tempo of all audio in SONAR and the Clip Tempo Map feature allows for easy manual tempo mapping of nonrhythmic, nonconstant, or atypical audio.
•Enhanced fidelitywith Radius Mix Advanced Mode: new Radius Mix settings improve “pitch coherence,” which preserves the naturalness of timbre in human speech, vocals, reed and brassinstruments.
Step Sequencer 2.0
Step Sequencer 2.0 SONAR’s Step Sequencer view is known for being the most advanced and comprehensive available in any DAW today. Step Sequencer 2.0takes this power to a new level with increased depth of control over your sequences. Step Sequencer 2.0 was built with 3 goals in mind: to simplify the interface for an elegant and musicalworkflow, to design a set of useful and powerful perlane controls, and to provide finer control over perstep adjustments.
New in Step Sequencer 2.0:
•Add Flam to any step by simplydouble clicking it (then use the flam time knob to adjust timing).
•Easily load/save patterns from the Options button or drag and drop patterns from the Media Browser.
•New Autopopulate feature provides shortcuts to fill a lanes every 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 steps.
•Redesigned Controller Pane for per row articulations and controls, includingVolume, Pan, Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, Portamento
•Per step parameter controls for Velocity, Time Offset, Probability, Lanebased MIDI articulations, Filter Cut and Filter Res.
•Parameter values are now displayed as bars underneath steps in the controller pane, making editing per step parameters such as Velocity, Step Offset, Probability, and other MIDIarticulations quick and easy.
•Exclusive Per Step Probability provides control over the probability of how often a step will be triggered. Use it to create automatic variations (makesome steps only play occasionally) to keep repetitive patterns sounding fresh.
•All this is combined with the functionality from Step Sequencer 1.0 including: Step Recording, theVelocity Multiplier, Fit to Quarters capabilities, and more.
Integrated Arpeggiator Each MIDI and Instrument track in SONAR now has a builtin Arpeggiator which allows you to turn even thesimplest chord progression into exciting new sound textures. The SONAR Arpeggiator is a perfect tool for adding variety to any Instrument or MIDI track that repeats a number of times in a song,or for creating complimentary parts using other instrument sounds that follow your chord progression. The SONAR Arpeggiator includes hundreds of presets, patterns, and classic algorithms, andprovides not only powerful controls over the rate, octave range, latch, swing, flam, velocity, duration, and pitch offset of the arpeggiation, but also control over mix, channel input, andshape.

Media Browser
Media Browser SONAR’s Loop Explorer Viewhas been updated and expanded. In its new form, Media Browser is now SONAR’s hub for content. Audio Groove Clips, Step Sequencer Patterns, REX Loops and Project5 MIDI PTN files canall be previewed in Media Browser and easily dragged into any track. As well, video files can be viewed in Media Browser and easily dragged into a Video Thumbnail Track. Users’content folders can be stored and recalled as handy Media Browser presets. SONAR 8.5 ships with outofthebox presets that point directly to Beatscape REX Loops, Session Drummer 3 MIDI DrumLoops, Step Sequencer Patterns, RXP REX Loops, PTN MIDI Patterns, and MIDI Groove Clips.
Engine Optimizations and leading technology innovations
Engine Work Audio interfaces, MIDI interfacesand control surfaces can now be disconnected and reconnected again or “hotswapped” while SONAR is running without the need to restart SONAR. This is particularly useful forplugging in a new MIDI controller while inspired to lay down a new part, or in the event an audio interface needs to be powercycled. SONAR 8.5 also includes optimizations and stabilityimprovements for recording audio, and while looping.
Open Support Cakewalk has been, and will continue to be, a proponent of open standards in software and hardware. SONAR 8.5 brings avariety of compatibility improvements for VST plugins, as well as for Cakewalk’s BitBridge technology, which allows for access to classic 32bit “x86” VST pluginsin a 64bit “x64” environment. SONAR Producer customers can take advantage of the new BitBridge XR, which automatically provides up to 32 BitBridge servers, each capable ofusing up to 4GB of RAM, for a total of 128GB of RAM access from 32bit plugins! SONAR also now provides native REX loop support, via the Track View, updated Media Browser, and new Matrix View.
Windows 7 Ready Cakewalk was a finalist in Microsoft’s 2009 Partner of the Year Awards, and as you would expect from the industryleading Windows DAW, SONAR 8.5 is ready for Windows7 right from the getgo. Cakewalk has been testing SONAR from early Windows 7 Betas right through to the latest Release Candidates, and we are pleased to recommended Windows 7 as a platform forSONAR 8.5. Additionally, SONAR 8.5 was evaluated at an independent Microsoft application compatibility lab and officially passed the rigorous Win7 compatibility testing.
