Sonar’s Skylight interface is largely unchanged. Cakewalk are the first major DAW developer to move to a monthly payment model. And Sonar ‘membership’ provides plenty of goodies. Maybe it’s the weird weather that’s driven developers into full gear, but this winter has certainly been the season for major updates. Both Propellerhead and Steinberg got in their version 8s before the end of the year, while Cakewalk chose to unleash the latest iteration of their Sonar DAW in the build up to NAMM 2015. Sonar Platinum, as it’s now called, is the first major DAW to step away from traditional ideas about purchasing and support, pre–empting Avid’s similar move with Pro Tools 12 by a couple of weeks. What’s loosely been termed the Adobe model (as Adobe were the first big company to switch to it) replaces the traditional boxed, fixed–fee purchase with a subscription of monthly payments.

While you continue to subscribe, you receive support and free access to any updates that occur during your subscription. Cakewalk have put their own spin on this, by insisting that users are buying ‘membership’ rather than a subscription, and by offering additional custom content to members each month. And after 12 payments, the software is yours to keep using; alternatively, you can continue to subscribe to keep the support, updates and content flowing. They also stress that they still offer the traditional boxed product, which includes 12 months of free updates and content. Any future updates would require the renewal of membership at some kind of upgrade price.

So in many ways it’s the same deal as before, but you are buying on credit so you don’t have to fork out a large sum up–front. Whether this model works for you or not, it does seem to be the future.

Serial number lookup. Cakewalk have introduced a new software and installation manager called the Command Center. Cakewalk’s Command Center downloads, installs and updates your software. It lists the Cakewalk products you own and their serial numbers, and will perform a complete, automatic download and installation for you.

If you have a non–urban Internet connection like mine, this might take a very long time! Before you do anything, though, click on the Settings button and make sure the destination folders for the downloads and plug–ins are correct; otherwise, you may find your system drive suddenly gets very full. There are, unfortunately, no options to specify destinations for library content, so you may need to do some shifting about once you get into Sonar.
