SONAR - Home Studio 7 XL - Instant Review

Home Studio 7 upgrade arrived today.

I just finished installing both DVD's of software and goodies.

The UI is once again revised so I have to learn things again, however it looks like the changes are improvements for the most part of version 6. Particularly getting to track options is simplified I think. All of my old instruments from 6 were picked up in the scan when the program started so I am very happy about that. I brought my current project Queen's Blue Peter Badge and it had no trouble.

One immediate new feature is a set of instruments named Studio Instruments. This includes SI Bass, SI Drums, SI Strings and SI Electric Piano. I was not entirely happy with the DSK bass sounds. They were pretty good but not great. The SI Bass is great. It has many different sounds and configurations that can be pulled in, and in the tool window it provides a variety of music samples to listen to the patch to see if it sounds like what you are looking for.

Right away I found a bass tone that I liked.

The SI Strings are also quite good. Lots of variety and pretty realistic. Looks like I can have some serious fun with this stuff.
