Cakewalk® Announces SONAR X3 now available on Steam

Who'd have imagines the Steam store as the place to buy your next DAW? Cakewalk, that's who! SONAR X3 has become the first major professional digital audio workstation to arrive on Steam.  

Cakewalk, developers of powerful and thoughtfully designed software for modern musicians, today announced the availability of SONAR X3 on Steam—a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC, Mac, and Linux games and digital entertainment.

In keeping with SONAR X3's innovative character, Cakewalk's flagship program now becomes the first major professional digital audio workstation to debut on Steam. “Cakewalk's Music Creator 6 Touch and Z3TA+ 2 virtual instrument were extremely well received by the Steam community earlier this year,” states Cakewalk President, Michael Hoover. “Based on the success of these previous titles, it's clear there's also a need for the professional features SONAR X3 brings to all types of musicians.”
