Skylight: Welcome to your workspace

Let's face it -- constantly shuffling and resizing lots of floating windows is so last decade. Precisely suited for today's music production, Sonar X1's unparalleled user interface design speeds up workflow and provides a clean and modern creation environment.

Smart Tools: Work smarter, not harder

Sonar's tools have been completely revamped for X1. Most things can now be done with a single implement that switches automatically based on context. And the tools work across all of Sonar's edit views, so whether you are working on arranging in the Track View or editing MIDI data in the Piano Roll View, the same tool works smoothly and consistently with no interruption to your creative flow.

Get Started: Ready, Set, Go!

It's more intuitive than ever to get started making music with Sonar. And it's easier than ever to get professional results. Sonar X1's Browser is packed with new Track Templates, FX Chains, Patterns and more that make getting great sounds literally just a drag and drop away.

Drag and Drop: Powerfully Simple

Thanks to Sonar X1's new Skylight interface, many things can be accomplished with a simple drag and drop. Drag in drum patterns, instrument riffs, virtual instruments and FX, and even entire multitrack setups complete with built-in processing. It's all so simple that you already know how to do more in Sonar than you probably think.

Included in Cakewalk Sonar X1 Producer:

- Session Drummer 3: Fix the timing of audio tracks with the click of a mouse.
- Dimension Pro: 4-Element Wavetable Sampling Synthesizer. Includes over 1500 patch presets, 8 GB of content.
- TruePianos Amber: Mix in any of the 30 surround formats. Perfect for A/V projects and video games.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds "The delivery was on time, the packaging protected my purchase, and my product was great -- what more could you ask for?" - customer on May 5, 2013
Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (15 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Sonar X1 Producer is a great product and I recommend it to anyone looking for a fully featured DAW"
Sound: The sound quality is as good as the source, and the person mixing or mastering. Feature: There are many features from this DAW. There are plugins to get you started just about anywhere: Drums, Synths, Guitars, Orchestras, etc. They're not the best sounding plugins, but they're a great start. Guitar Rig 4 LE is a nice addition, as well as Z3TA+, True Pianos and Session Drummer 3. Ease of Use: The features are great, but it can get overwhelming when you first start out. Luckily, there are video tutorials available on YouTube, as well as purchasable ones from the Cakewalk Website. There is definitely a slight learning curve. Quality: The product is made well, but as with any program there will be a hiccup every now and again. I advise to save often. The interface is aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. Value: All in all, overall a great DAW, packed with many features that can produce professional results. Manufacturer Support: I've had to re-download a few things and they were sufficient at getting me what I needed. The Wow Factor: I wanted a great product that competed with other DAWs such as Cubase and Pro tools. After reading reviews on the functionality I came to the conclusion to get Sonar X1 Producer and couldn't have been happier. Overall: Cakewalk offers digital downloads or even DVD copies if you absolutely need it.
Style of Music: Rock, Acoustic

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
