and no video?
If only there were some way for Cakewalk to give some idea of what this product behaves and sounds like.
I don’t know, perhaps some kind of sequence of moving images with some sound attached. They could use it to show off, or “promote”, the product. They could even refer to it as, maybe, a “promotional video”. I wonder if that idea has ever been used by any other software manufacturer, ever? It must be too technologically difficult to do so, I guess. Maybe there are no websites on which such videos could be made widely available.
At least “Cakewalk Sonar Home Studio” it is an brand new product name, and won’t clash with any other products of exactly the same name launched ten or so years ago which might confuse the issue when people try to find out about it in the lengthy intro pricing period.
Knowing Cakewalk, they will soon release a tutorial video of it. Just be patient folks. The problem nowadays is that news travel faster than in depth informations. This is the world we live in.
