Re: [disklavier] Cakewalk

2011-05-13 by Spencer chase

if you want to do simple piano sequences, you would be better to get an older version of cakewalk, whichever is the one before they started calling it sonar. i'm sure there are great features for audio recording and editing but for simple midi editing it is horribly bloated and missing a lot of basic features in the cheaper versions. i use sonar and hate it because cakewalk (6 i believe) will not run on win 7. now that i am thinking of it i should see if it will run under virtual xp because i really really hate using sonar for the simple things i do.

I went to Cakewalk.com to check out their software as hinted here on how to edit downloaded midis. Since I'm just beginning at this, all I want is to look at how piano parts are set to channel 1, and ensure that file is set as SMF Type 0. If there's an easier, freeware to use, please feel free to suggest.
Meanwhile, on Cakewalk.com, the site sells many software. I've listed them below. Which one should I get?
SONAR X1 Producer
SONAR X1 Studio
SONAR X1 Essential
SONAR Home Studio 7
Guitar Tracks Pro 4
Music Creator 5
Studio Instruments
Dimension Pro
Z3TA+
Rapture
pyro Audio Creator
MP3 Encoder

Thank you!
