Cakewalk has a new version of their popular DAW software coming out soon. Sonar X1 looks like it will ship December 8th at varying price points.
There are three different versions – Sonar X1 Essentials ($99), Sonar X1 Studio ($199), and Sonar X1 Producer ($399). You can check them out here.
They also have an upgrade path for existing Sonar users.
I’ve had subscriptions to numerous recording magazines over the years and have to say that the one I like most is the one I don’t have to pay for.
If you love getting free things, which most of us do, you might want to head over to TapeOp.com and sign up for a free subscription to start receiving their great recording magazine.
It is published bi-monthly, so you’ll only get a new magazine every two months, but it’s worth the wait. It’s full of great articles, interviews, and reviews.
Before you can start recording, you need something to record with. No brainer, right? Yeah, it is a no brainer, but there are a few different options with a lot of different recording products vying for your attention.

Setting up a home recording studio is a great way to get your music recorded and ready for distribution.
However, it’s also easy to get caught up in all the details of having a recording studio, and forget about the music.
Maybe you don’t forget about the music entirely, but it can get pushed to the background. This isn’t bad if you’re just an engineer, but it can be bad if you are a recording musician.
There are a lot of things that I could talk about for my very first post, but there is one thing that is probably more important than all the rest – the song.
If you don’t have a great song, you can’t make a great record. Um yeah…it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out, right? Well, you’d be surprised at how many people forget this.
I’m no exception to the rule. Yes, I have gotten caught up in the world of recording gear – thinking that if I only had a certain piece of gear, my songs would be a lot better.
