In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee. | In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released.

In late September 2006, the much-anticipated SONAR 6 was released. For a variety of reasons, including a very slim manual and sparse documentation, this latest version of our favorite DAW has generated a large number of questions. We address as many of these as we can here, attributing the source if it is a Cakewalk employee.
Where are those videos I keep hearing about?
You can download them from Cakewalk's FTP server. Currently (October 3), they cover ACT, Audio Snap and Session Drummer.
Staff (Notation) View
What changes are there in SONAR 6's Staff View?
There are exactly two:
- Added a track list view pane to the staff view, similar to the one in the PRV. Lets you view any number of tracks and set a track active or set its MSR state
- Select tracks using the PickTracks button in the toolbar
"Early on in the SONAR 6 development cycle we did look at some notation technology that could have potentially plugged into SONAR as a replacement for the existing Staff View. Unfortunately, it would have meant a step backward in functionality."
