SONAR Premium Day 4

Greg giving his welcome speech

So we went back to Japan and this time it was to demo to over 870 people! It was a fantastic day in the heart of Akihabara. Roland Japan did a great job in putting the event on.The event kicked with a video from Alex discussing the new features of SONAR 8.5. Greg then gave a great speech on new technologies like Windows7 and of course SONAR. Then it was on to our demo. Brandon ran an i7 machine running Windows 7 (64-bit) and a VS-700 and I was running a quadcore vista (32-bit) with a VS-100. The demos went off without a hitch. The final part of our demo was a performance with Brandon playing leads with Rapture on his rig while I triggered the Matrix on mine.

The entrance to the show

Following our demo various Roland Japan  staff and guest demonstrators gave demos covering various parts of SONAR and the V-Studio 700 and 100. They did an excellent job and both Brandon and I learned some demo tips and tricks.

This is the view from the stage. (shaky pic sorry)

There were three demo areas, the street entrance running VS-100 and SONAR VS, a mid hall stage for VS-700 and the main stage at the end of the hall.

A big thank you to everyone involved in making the event such a success. Below are three videos that show the demo Brandon and I gave. Hope you enjoy!

SONAR Home Studio

From NAMM 2009. Here’s a demo I did on SONAR Home Studio the intro to the video covers the new USB MIDI and Audio interfaces available from Cakewalk. The video takes you through recording a guitar with the UA-1G, adding drum tracks with Studio Instruments, adding beats with the loop explorer and working with soft synths.

SONAR 7 Masterclass

I made this video while on the road last year. A lot of people have found it useful so I have added it to the blog.
