Upgrade Brings Membership Model, Workflow Improvements

Softube Console 1 is a hardware/software system that runs alongside any DAW to provide direct tactile access to Softube’s plug-in model of the Solid State Logic SL 4000E channel strip. Having a plug-in inserted on every channel of your DAW’s mixer, the Console 1 system mimics a large analog console—every track plays through identical channel electronics.

Cakewalk has released the latest version of its SONAR X Series with SONAR X3 Producer. New bells and whistles, an improved UI and third-party utilities that are directly integrated make for a release worth looking at—and listening to.

Through the many updates of Pro Tools, Avid has made great strides to increase the overall strength of the program, with the discussion of a 64-bit operation hovering for a while now. Now in Pro Tools 11, I can confidently say that the future is here, and it sounds amazing.

It’s been four long years since Logic Pro 9 launched, and some were beginning to wonder if Apple had abandoned its high-end DAW. Logic has come a long way since its origins on the Atari ST in the 1980s. It gradually evolved into a Mac- and Windows-based MIDI sequencer and eventually into a Mac-only DAW soon after Apple acquired Hamburg-based developer Emagic in 2002. Along the way, Logic’s price has risen and fallen dramatically, while its capabilities have continually skyrocketed.
