Thinking about buying or upgrading to Sonar 6? Here is a chance to see it first hand. Cakewalk announced a multi-city tour to "spread the word that SONAR 6 will be ready for Windows Vista, coming in 2007." The announcement including a list of cities and dates is here.
This tour is sponsored by Microsoft and indicates what Microsoft believes to be the key features in Windows Vista that would appeal to digital music enthusiasts.
With a completely re-designed audio infrastructure that provides
better sound quality, greater processing resources, increased

Windows Vista sets a new standard of excellence for the audio &
music creativity experience on the PC.

- 64-bit editions with extended RAM access (128 GB) that enable
larger and more realistic sample content, lower latencies, and a more
