Cakewalk Pro Audio (Demo) v8.01 Cakewalk Music Software Cakewalk Pro Audio is a fully loaded MIDI and digital audio editing package. It gives you all the recording, editing, and mixing bells and whistles you need to put together your next CD, soundtrack, or multimedia project. New features in version 8.0 include the ability to record up to 128 tracks of audio along with MIDI, with up to 256 real-time effects. In addition, the program now supports 24-bit audio with up to 96kHz sampling rate, as well as 16-, 18-, 20-, and 22-bit audio hardware. Cakewalk MIDI FX plug-ins let you apply real-time effects to MIDI tracks using non-destructive plug-ins. You're also now able to synchronize AVI, MPEG, and QuickTime video to audio and MIDI tracks. Visualize your mix with vector-based audio mixing (non-destructive envelope mixing). Draw volume and panning changes directly onto audio events. Other enhancements include new toolbars, shortcut keys, command menus, and more. Whether you make music for business or pleasure, you should check out this first-rate package.
