SONAR 7 Producer Edition

SONAR 7 Producer Edition brings you freedom in computer music recording like never before. Gone are the limits on track count, bus routing, and effect or instrument inserts.

Some new, exclusive features to have fun getting to know are the precision LP-64 EQ & LP-64 Multiband linear phase mastering plug-ins, Z3TA+ waveshaping synthesizer, Dimension LE and Rapture LE instruments, more Active Controller Technology presets, and the Roland V-Vocal 1.5 processor with pitch-to-MIDI conversion. You also get surround mixing in over 30 formats, including SurroundBridge technology to use stereo FX in surround; the Sonitus Surround Compressor; instruments like the PSYN II subtractive synth and the Pentagon I analog modeling synth; and effects like Perfect Space Convolution Reverb powered by Voxengo, and Lexicon Pantheon Reverb. Other components you'll end up toying with are two Roland virtual instruments, the VC-64 Vintage Channel plug-in with sidechaining capabilities, AudioSnap rendering with iZotope Radius, POW-r dithering, thousands of instrument sounds, over a gigabyte of sample content, and much more.

The beauty of SONAR is that not only does it utilize the full potential of your computer, and constantly adapt to new technologies with each subsequent release, but it stays simple enough for the average Joe to be able to jump right into. Developed by musicians with their peers in mind, SONAR 7 gives you the choose to configure your studio to better meet the demands of your recording styles and needs, even allowing you to load presets of keystrokes from your favorite applications or design your own. Its compatibility with soundcards, plug-ins, MIDI controllers, and 3rd party effects and instruments simply expands your options, and the fact that you can customize everything from menus to track icons makes SONAR like your personal shopping center for musical possibilities.
