Cakewalk have announced SONAR Power Studio 250 and SONAR Power Studio 660 integrated music production systems, designed for musicians who need a complete production solution that couples hardware and software with the added benefit of portability, and without the compromise of LE versions of software.
SONAR Power Studio production systems contain the SONAR 5 Studio Edition and integrated Roland V-Vocal technology, paired with the Cakewalk SPS-66 24-bit/192 kHz FireWire audio/MIDI interface in SONAR Power Studio 660, and the Cakewalk SPS-25 24-bit/96 kHz USB audio/MIDI interface in SONAR Power Studio 250.
Cakewalk tell us that both solution offerings take just minutes to setup, and provide a seamless, integrated production system that frees users to create music whenever, and wherever inspiration strikes.
According to Cakewalk, what sets the SONAR Power Studio production system apart from other products is the uncompromised feeling the user will get of complete integration between Cakewalk hardware and software, starting from the ease of the installation process, and continuing with the speed of starting a recording project.
Here are the details that Cakewalk have released...
