Cakewalk Sonar LE
Sonar LE is a professional tool for authoring sound and music on your computer. Sonar
supports Wave, AIFF, ASIO, MP3, ACIDized waves, WMA and other audio formats.
The following step by step tutorials are designed to get you recording on Sonar LE. After
you have finished the tutorial we encourage you to read the Sonar LE pdf manual in
order to learn about the many features of this comprehensive program.
We have provided a special PatchMix DSP Session, as well as a Sonar LE Recording
Project to go along with the following tutorial.

Note:
A PatchMix
Session containing ASIO
Sends and Returns must
be loaded BEFORE you
