So like a little kid at Christmas time, I was really itching to get Sonar Producer 8.5 installed and tested out. Actually that’s not entirely true, I had messed around with Cakewalk the MIDI editor many many years ago but I hadn’t really seen any modern day products from cakewalk. I have in the past looked at other DAW programs from different companies but just never got around to seeing what cakewalk had to offer.

I have to say when I first seen screen shots of Sonar Producer 8.5 I was quite excited to say the least.
