Kinetic 2 - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

Cakewalk’s all-in-one production tool has undergone a re-fit. JoE Silva finds out what’s changed under the hood.

Price: £69.00
Manufacturer: Cakewalk
Website: http://www.cakewalk.com

If you are one of the pioneering generation who took their first steps into the world of PC-based musicmaking with the original version of ACID, then you’ll appreciate the huge strides in technology that today’s heavy hitters such as Reason and Ableton Live represent. Yet despite ever decreasing prices and the difficulties of persuading loyal users to switch products, developers in this niche market continue to persevere, and Cakewalk, rapidly approaching its 20th anniversary in the audio business, is no exception. By updating both its Project5 and Kinetic software lines, the company appears committed to maintaining the breadth of its product range.

Score: 8
