Jan 20, 2005

Cakewalk today announced a maintenance release for SONAR, the audio production environment on the Windows platform. The free SONAR 4.0.2 maintenance release for both SONAR 4 Producer Edition and SONAR 4 Studio Edition is now available for download.

The SONAR 4.0.2 maintenance release highlights

• Control Surface interface now supports metering and other enhancements that improve performance allowing extended control over SONAR's recording, editing and mixing operations. Control surface plug-in updates included for ADStech RedRover, CM Labs MotorMix, Mackie Universal Control, and Mackie C4.
• OMF import file improvements for cross platform compatibility with user selectable sample rate and bit depth; the ability to read OMF files authored by Avid and Pro Tools systems that contain NEST and TRANSITION constructs.
• Other enhancements: Cakewalk VST Adapter performance update to decrease plug-in insert "load" time and send NRPN events directly to VSTi synths; faster "one pass" QuickTime export, also enhanced to require significantly less disk space; export of multi-channel audio to external command-line encoders; the ability to specify whether track/bus mute and solo should affect pre-fader sends.
