Finally, the help doesn't include enough screenshots, and most of the included synth help files are pretty skimpy.
CAKEWALK HOME STUDIO 2002 MANUAL FULL VERSION
If I'm going to have to name a file anyway, let me do it beforehand, not afterwards! And since there are only 64 audio tracks, you'll have to budget for the full version if you need to close-mic a full orchestra. Sonar Home Studio allows you to put all the audio clips for a project into one folder, but Bounce to Track still doesn't allow you to name the new track, instead automatically assigning something like 'song 1, Master, Mix (2).wav'. Other things have been left out, such as track Freeze. There are the other improvements over Home Studio: Group edit now allows clips to be selected and have slip edits, fades and splits applied to each clip at the same time, nudging allows clips to be, well, nudged forward or backward by a pre-selected amount using keyboard commands, and the metronome finally allows audio clips to be used instead of MIDI notes. But the new look and feel are so easy to use I haven't gone back to the HS way of working. Some of the changes from HS to SHS may force you to alter the way you work, though if you prefer the old ways, it is possible to right-click on individual Tab Views and disable each separately, returning the tab to a floating page. Used in conjunction with the Navigator, it is easy as eating pie to edit song-length swathes of MIDI. I find this to be a more ergonomic layout than finding various pages scattered over two screens: if you need to edit some MIDI, right-click on them, Piano Roll jump to the top of the tabs, hit maximise, and you're ready to edit. This is usually enough room to edit without resizing the track headers themselves. The tabbed views are too small for any real editing, as they occupy only the quadrant of the screen beside the busses, but a minimise/maximise button expands the edit view to the entire right side of the screen, replacing the track audio/MIDI content.

The tabs for the Docking View don't appear until you have right-clicked on some audio or MIDI for editing, or have inserted a Staff, Event, synth or Lyric via the Windows View command.
These pages are now part of a docked and tabbed view which occupies the bottom right of the main screen, opposite the buss pane, in an otherwise empty area. HS made use of deployable, resizable pages for editing audio and Acid ised 'groove clips', MIDI info by piano roll, staff or event, and for adding synths or even lyrics to a project. These big controls are an improvement over the smaller taskbar buttons, and Cakewalk have made great strides in making SHS more of a single-screen environment. The only major things missing are the high-end effects and synths, which can be added at one's leisure, and the ability to use more than 64 audio tracks.

There are other improvements and goodies, of course, but for musicians looking for a first DAW and those thinking of upgrading or switching from a competitor's product, SHS streamlines Cakewalk's extensive (and sometimes confusing) product line and offers a entry-level pro sequencer and audio recording package with support for sample rates up to 192kHz and the ability to use multiple processors, dual cores and Hyperthreading. The new Sonar Home Studio ( SHS) remedies both those complaints, using the Sonar 4 sound engine and a clean blue/grey user interface.
I used it mostly for MIDI work, recording external synths and rendering soft synths before mixing the audio in Vegas, which I was more comfortable with. It wasn't bad, but it was beginning to show its age. For the last couple of years, users of Cakewalk's entry-level Home Studio package have felt like second-class citizens, sitting at the back of the sonic bus with a Sonar 2 sound engine and a screen stuck in the 1990s.
