It was quite a shock when Gibson announced that they are discontinuing the development of call Cakewalk products, including the popular SONAR DAW. We have already taken a look at some of the best options that can be found on iOS and Linux, so here is a closer look at the options that Windows and MAC users have to choose from.

However, to make use of the myriad of soft synths that are available, you need a MIDI controller as well as a digital audio workstation.
Although most vintage synthesizer enthusiasts would no doubt prefer a room full of hardware, there can be doubt that software synths have come a long way.
