This is part of our ongoing effort to empower musicians to make and share their music around the world. 'We are making the software completely free to use to ensure that anyone, regardless of their resources, technology or stage in their career, can have access to the highest level of professional music production tools. Cakewalk develops computer software for recording and making music. Regardless, an 'aggressive feature development roadmap' lies ahead of Cakewalk by Bandlab, CEO Kuok Meng Ru said in a press release. Sonar launched a Mac prototype in 2016, but there is no word yet on whether BandLab will be developing a Mac version. The Windows version is now available for download here. Now, BandLab has announced that it is relaunching the Sonar digital audio workstation (DAW) as a new free product: Cakewalk by BandLab. As I already mentioned, though, this is a free program, so you get to skip the most painful step of all, which is the step where you have to actually pay for it.

Earlier this year, we reported that BandLab, the Singaporean music tech company that has made headlines for its stake in Rolling Stone, had acquired music software company Cakewalk from Gibson, who had ceased development of the company's product Sonar last year. Cakewalk is a pretty substantial piece of software that requires few steps to download and set up.
