Sonar Home Studio 6 XL adds over 1 GB of instrument
sounds, as well as the Boost 11 peak limiter, the Session Drummer 2
drum instrument, Dimension LE, and Garritan Pocket Orchestra.
Exclusive to Sonar Home Studio XL, the Boost
11 Peak Limiter provides—you guessed it—peak limiting and volume
maximization, which according to the manufacturer, does not color the
sound of the source material. Boost 11's "look-ahead" peak detection
helps prevent output clipping and PDR (Program Dependent Release) to
minimize volume fluctuations and maximize loudness.
Session Drummer 2 includes multisampled drum
kits paired with professionally recorded drum and MIDI patterns from
Smart Loops. You can build an accompaniment by loading a drum kit and
dragging and dropping patterns into your project. You can also play
patterns or individual drums from any MIDI controller to perform your
own drum tracks. Session Drummer 2 also provides the flexibility of
custom drum kits, which can be built by loading individual components
on pads (including the your own WAV, AIFF, or OGG format samples) and
then adjusting volume, pan, width, and tuning on each drum.
Dimension LE provides multisample rendering,
wavetable synthesis, waveguide synthesis, and, REX playback and
manipulation; it also includes a DSP library of effects with over 400
sound programs, ranging from bass, organ, and electric piano samples to
synth sounds and rhythmic grooves.
This special edition of Garritan Pocket
Orchestra expands Dimension LE with orchestral instrument libraries
that include strings, brass, woodwinds, keyboards, and percussion
sounds.
