In their own words

Cakewalk Sonar

Cakewalk Sonar is a digital audio workstation for music production on Windows 11 and higher. It records multitrack projects with unlimited tracks, take lanes, and comping. Mixing tools include ProChannel console emulation and modular processing, plus Mix Recall for alternative mix scenes. MIDI features include a multi-track Piano Roll, articulation maps, and a Step Sequencer. VocalSync aligns vocal timing, while AudioSnap provides transient-based quantization and tempo adjustment. Sonar supports third-party plugins and video synchronization. Listed BandLab integrations include FX, instruments, effect chains, Sounds, Project Library, and CXF Project Exchange. Projects created in Cakewalk by BandLab can be opened and edited. Free and premium licenses require periodic online or offline activation renewal, although activated copies can run offline; the free license is currently indefinite subject to renewal. The Free Tier costs nothing and limits Arranger Track, ProChannel modules, and BandLab Sounds access. Suggested specifications are Windows 11 or higher, 16 GB RAM, an 8-core CPU, and ASIO-compatible hardware.
