Cakewalk Let's You Mix With Motor-Faders

Note: As music software is a fast changing technology the content of this page is already outdated. The new sequencer from Twelve Tone Systems is called Sonar. It is already in version 4 and has greatly improved features. Take a look at Sonar 4.

Sorry, Mac users. This fully featured Midi and Audio-Sequencer offers a big advantage over the competition. The optional Studio Mix hardware, a great little dedicated interface for mixing and monitoring, comes with motorized faders, which is a little sensation.

It's also very stable and probably the best sequencer for web oriented projects. We also liked it very much for Notebook studios because it handles the processing power and Hard disk-resources quite reasonable.

Plus:

  • Broadest Hardware Support
  • Optional motorized faders
  • Good "tape feeling"
  • Guitar fret board display
  • Very stable performance
  • Good "web-features"
  • Includes Giga-Sampler

Minus:

  • Compatibility to other Software-Standards could be better
