On the CDM Grubby Hands Radar, we’re able to track what new stuff is getting into people’s hands. I mean, I know how much you guys enjoy reading the Harmony Central press release, but if you like using the stuff even better, we want to know when that box will arrive.
SONAR 5, the latest from the folks at Cakewalk, is here, says Eric Richmond:
“I think this is one of the best, if not the best update that Sonar has had. It really does fufill that “Logic”-like promise of having top-notch effects, instruments and sequencing all in one package.

Plus I hear they may ban me from their party at the AES show next week if I say too much. Anyhoo, check out the PSYNII instrument added to the new version:
