Cakewalk Sonar 7 Rapture LE: Blue Monday Gets DSP Treatment

[ezequieldavid]

I cannot believe, Rapture LE was fucking my whole computer up, I thought i had trojans. Seriously now it works normally again, after I deleted it.

[HDxRAVER]

would help if you could hear the music a bit louder, also quality of recorded audio is poor and noisy

[Asganoth]

I am a novice in DAWs and synths, what would be a simple, yet effective way to get started in composing electronic music? I was thinking along the lines of trance or house music. I tried FL Studio 9 but had issues with the audio. Anything else out there with a slick interface and easy to use?

What is the difference between LE and the full version? Thanks

[Rockab33]

LE=light edition you don't control all parameters like shapping enveloppe ect... you have less presets. But you can play/save any presets from the full version. The Rapture LE is very cool despite this. LE version got lot of stuff with 6 part+filter+ect that's enough too me....

Hi....so all that knob turning you were doing in rapture....were you doing that while recording in real time? Im confused...

[endlessender]

Sounds awesome!!!

[xXDjSuicideXx]

will this work with Fl Studio 8 and is it good for techno and trance

[Zhorellski]

Between Raptures, FM8 & Absynth 4.. Which is the best one you would recommend for Novice home-user hobbyist like Me :D

[gearwire]

well, all three are different types of synthesis. what kind of music are you making?

[Zhorellski]

I'm a guitar player.. I just want something I could use that makes a lot of Emulations and of course cutting edge Synth sound as well :D

[gearwire]

I would go with absynth 4, because it offers a lot of killer presets besides being insanely powerful. If cpu usage is an issue, though, I would say go with rapture, because it covers more than FM synthesis. FM8 is great, but it limits you to one type of synthesis.

[Zhorellski]

Absynth's a CPU Hog ? that's a no no no for Me.. I guess Rapture is the better way to go. Thanks for all your help!

[DjKiba]

I use FM8 and Absynth 4 as well as Massive and Pro 53.

I have no experience with rapture.

Any of them will be just fine. FM-8 gives crisp digital sound and Absynth 4 can emulate multiple types of synth.

It really depends on what you are looking for. You can talk to me about synths if you want to but my suggestion is

1 research/test in person

2 if you are new, go simple, or it will be useless to you.

3 try to get a package

You can probably find someone on youtube to help

I am willing to do so

[gearwire]

that's probably actually the best advice anyone could give. you never know until you try it yourself, and demos are available online.

[gearwire]

no, that's the real bummer. i wish you could.

can I use cakewalk sonar for mac?

[Kelsin5]

You can't use Sonar on a Mac, but Cakewalk's two instruments Rapture (in this video) and Dimension Pro and both Mac compatible (VST,AU and RTAS)
