Boston, MA (August 14, 2009) — Cakewalk, the world's leading developer of powerful and easy to use products for music creation and recording, today announces a tour that will bring its powerful SONAR V-Studio music production hardware to select retailers nationwide. The new SONAR V-Studio 100, the innovative new portable music production studio, is the centerpiece of the tour, with the SONAR V-Studio 700 also on display at certain locations. Tour attendees who pre-register on-line will also have the chance to win a $100 gift certificate to the retailer hosting the event.

The SONAR V-Studio 100 is a one-of-a-kind product that combines a powerful audio/MIDI interface, a control surface, a digital mixer, and an SD WAVE recorder. Compact and portable, the VS-100 is perfect for the musician on the go. Lay down tracks or capture an idea whether you're in a hotel room, on a tour bus, wherever. Plus, the VS-100 works with both Mac and PC and all major DAWs, so musicians can take advantage of the VS-100's compelling feature set no matter which platform they are using.

At some tour stops, Cakewalk will also be demonstrating the SONAR V-Studio 700, the keystone of the V-Studio product-line. Matching SONAR 8 Producer with the VS-700 Console, the V-Studio 700 offers the ultimate solution for music production through a complete offering of finely-tuned and tightly-controlled hardware and software. The VS-700 also includes the VS-700R I/O, the Roland Fantom VS synth and Cakewalk's award-winning instruments Rapture and Dimension Pro.

"We're very excited to take our V-Studio line on the road and bring it to musicians of all levels across the country via some of our favorite retailers," said Anthony Conte, vice president of sales for Cakewalk. "We feel strongly that once you get a demonstration of the products, they'll immediately end up on your 'Must Have' list. The V-Studio 100, in particular, is something very accessible to a wide range of musicians, and one of the most powerful products on the market at its pricepoint."
