I use to use cakewalk 9 pro and it was quite accessible out of the box. To those who are currently using sonar 5/6/7, if one does not wish to buy cakeTalk, is sonar farily accessible as is?
I'm what one would call, a newb in terms of that recording software, as I have quit using cakewalk products after cakewalk 9 pro. So any assistance in pointing me to keystroke shortcut/commands/tutorials on the net would be appreciated.
Its time I get to recording songs I've written :)
The systems I have for that software should be more than ample
Thanks
I do recommend using cake talking. However, if you don't want to pay the three hundred bucks I think it is, you can use j sonar which is totally free! The site is www.jsonar.org Some of the cake walk pro audio nine structure and termonology etc is there but it has changed a lot over the years from pro audio nine. The basic principals of digital audio and recording in general are important to research as well. You need a solid foundation to start from no matter what the recording medium you are using. Good luck.
Agree with Cam. I could care less about Caketalking, because JSonar does it fine for me, so yeah, make the plunge!
JSonar is now superior to CT in terms of interface, responsiveness, and overall flexibility. (Price goes without saying.) What you do get with CT is hand-holding via documentation. And we're talking step-by-step, press this and that, arrow here, and pray once you've reached over there.
If you're a complete recording newbee, that sort of outlining might be just the thing you require. Although, sonar's built-in help system does a more than adequate job of getting you up and running, even if your digital audio knowledge is less than par. But, as Cam said, there's no substitute for firm recording principles.
So, if you think you must spend $300 to attain those, go for it. If not, buy yourself a good steak dinner and exalt in the cash you have left over.
