Customer Rating:      Summary: Great product overall Comment: I've had good experiences with Cakewalk products and this is no exception. My biggest complaint is that Session Drummer 2 is not versatile enough.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Awsome software!! Comment: Steep learning curve for a beginner. I was a beginner, and it took me 1-2 months to figure out what I was doing. Now I love it, and would highly recommend it. Many advanced features included, that are missing from other music creation software programs.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fantastic for home studios! Comment: This is the best DAW I have used for home studio use. I love the features it has and the online forums are very helpful. The only thing you will need with this is a lot of plug-ins, although it comes with some pretty goods ones. There are a lot of free ones online that are pretty good too. Enough said because their website has all the information you would need
Customer Rating:      Summary: Cakewalk Sonar 6XL Comment: With all of the soft synths added such as pocket orchestra and TTS, this is well worth the money you pay for it, just over a hundred bucks! All of your home recording needs are in this software, you won't be dissappointed!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Music Creator?? Comment: To the user complaining after an upgrade from "music creator" all i can say is "wow." I can't even imagine forgoing the extra functionality that ships with sonar home studio 6 xl compared with the regular home studio, let alone music creator!
I've used sonar LE and home studio 2004... and in my opinion this new version is well worth the upgrade from both. It is very powerful and really is a complete "home studio"(although I agree there is a definite learning curve involved). If anything, I am wishing i'd purchased sonar studio edition 7 for that added punch... but there's always next year.
