BandLab confirms that it plans to discontinue its current free Cakewalk DAW and bring back a new version of Sonar

Cakewalk software

BandLab Technologies has confirmed that Cakewalk by BandLab, its free DAW, is set to be discontinued. It will be replaced by two new products - Cakewalk Sonar and Cakewalk Next - the pricing of which is set to be revealed in due course.

BandLab ditched the Sonar name in 2018, when it acquired Cakewalk from Gibson. However, this will now return in an updated DAW - Cakewalk Sonar - that offers a refreshed UI and scope for ongoing feature development. It will also be compatible with legacy Sonar and Cakewalk by BandLab projects.
