Cakewalk® Announces Availability of Windows 7 Drivers for Hardware Products

Boston, MA (November 18, 2009) — Cakewalk, the world's leading developer of powerful and easy to use products for music creation and recording, announces immediate availability of Windows 7 drivers for its current hardware products. Each of the companys audio and MIDI interfaces, as well as its V-Studio 700 and V-Studio 100 music production systems, are now fully compatible with the new version of the computing platform.

Released last month, Windows 7 offers significant under-the-hood improvements for audio production. Cakewalk had been testing its SONAR digital audio workstation with the earliest Windows 7 Betas through the later Release Candidates, so the company was intimately familiar with the platform from its infancy. Today's announcement of driver availability for all its hardware products furthers Cakewalk's commitment to making its products compatible with the latest developments in computing platforms.

Cakewalk's Chief Technical Officer Noel Borthwick, a noted expert on Windows platforms, said "This is another example of Cakewalk staying ahead of the curve in terms of the latest technological changes affecting our customers. Our customers know that when they decide to move to the newest version of a platform, we're already there and can help not only determine if an upgrade is right for them, but if they do, we will help make it as seamless and painless as possible."
