Sequencing / Editing
Studio Software
• Cakewalk Sonar 6 Producer Edition
I have been a Cakewalk user since "Cakewalk Pro Audio 5.0" and now they are on version 6 of the "Sonar" product line
(which was a complete ground-up rewrite of their original sequencer, Cakewalk Pro Audio. I've tried many sequencers from
Cubase to Nuendo to Fruity Loops to Logic to Pro Tools over the years and I always come back to Cakewalk. Nothing,
in my opinion, can beat its range of features, ease of use, and just general "fun" and "wow" factor. I highly recommend
it.
• Cakewalk Project 5 Version 2
I honestly have not used the sequencing aspect of Project 5 much, but I use the Project 5 plug-ins in Sonar regularly.
They sound excellent, don't waste much screen real estate, use a moderate amount of CPU, and are very easy to configure
and tweak.
• Sony Sound Forge 8
Sound Forge is a great destructive wave editor and that is what I use it for. Destructive editors seem to be thinning out
in favor of non-destructive forms of editing. However, there are simply some things you can only do in a destructive sample
editor that are not possible yet in non-destructive editing methods. Sound Forge shines in these areas. I highly
recommend it.
