For several years now we’ve heard various rumours about popular Windows-based DAW Sonar coming to Mac, but we’ve never had anything concrete. So the news that Cakewalk are to release a free Alpha version of Sonar OS X later this year has come as a bit of a surprise.

Featuring a set of Cakewalk plug-ins and ProChannel modules, the Alpha build will be made available to users in order to gauge interest in a full Mac port.

“Ever since Sonar appeared, Apple users have been asking for a Mac version,” says Cakewalk CTO Noel Borthwick. “We’re excited to explore Sonar for OS X, and open up our award-winning Windows software to a brand new audience of music creators. Along with this free download, a dedicated forum will solicit feedback on the program and provide support.”
