Cakewalk SONAR 4 Studio Edition Recording Software

Cakewalk SONAR 4 Studio Edition is a special version of SONAR 4 designed for project studios and aspiring professionals. Studio Edition is built upon the same core engine and feature set of SONAR 4 Producer Edition. The most important difference for many musicians is that Producer Edition includes the Sonitus fx suite, and Studio Edition does not. Producer also provides more A/V capabilities. The Audio capabilities are almost identical.
