Cakewalk Sonar

Sonar was a digital audio workstation created by the former Boston, Massachusetts–based music production software company Cakewalk.

It was possible to transfer audio loop files from other compatible software into Sonar and complete a final mix down.

Various audio export options (including 64-bit masters) were AIFF, AU, CAF, FLAC, RAW, SD2, W64 (Sony Wave64), and WAV (Microsoft).

Starting with Sonar Platinum (February 2015[12][13]), releases moved to a monthly cycle, with new features and demo products introduced with each update.

After 30 years of existence, Cakewalk, Inc. ceased operation, with only the company's web forum and license authorization servers still functional.
