Cakewalk Sonar Vocal Preset Bundles

Get multiple ready-to-load vocal chains in one pack, with the version made for Cakewalk Sonar.

Current Cakewalk Sonar chains without losing legacy sessions

Cakewalk Sonar is now the supported Cakewalk DAW. The older Cakewalk by BandLab app has been sunset, but Sonar keeps the familiar track-template and ProChannel workflow. These Cakewalk vocal presets are packaged for that workflow so the full vocal routing can move with the session.

Each preset ships as a Cakewalk track template (.cwt). Import the template into a track and the saved ProChannel modules, inserts, sends, and routing load together. You can edit every stage, save a new user template, and keep the original as the repeatable starting point.

Cakewalk Sonar offers both free and membership tiers on Windows. ProChannel is available in both tiers. If a legacy template uses an older Sonitus plug-in, verify that plug-in in the session before replacing it; Sonar can migrate supported Sonitus instances to Core equivalents, and those Core plug-ins require an active membership.

Track template format

Track template format

Import the .cwt file as a track template, then save it in your Sonar user-template folder for future sessions. The saved ProChannel modules, plug-in inserts, sends, and automation load on the track.

ProChannel-first, with legacy plug-in guidance

ProChannel-first, with legacy plug-in guidance

The chain is organized around Cakewalk’s ProChannel workflow. When a preset references a legacy Sonitus processor, confirm it before the session starts or use Sonar’s supported migration path. Core plug-in replacements are membership features, so the product notes should be checked before relying on an automatic replacement.

Revitalize old sessions

Revitalize old sessions

Sonar can open legacy Cakewalk and SONAR projects. Back up the project, load the vocal template on a duplicate track, and compare the new pass without overwriting the original chain or committing a one-way plug-in migration.

The Vocal Vault

The Cakewalk workflow, carried into Sonar.

Sonar continues the long Cakewalk and SONAR lineage with a modern interface, ProChannel, project compatibility, and an updated support path. The preset format stays useful because the chain is saved at the track level: tone, dynamics, sends, and routing can be recalled as one editable starting point instead of rebuilt for every vocal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need third-party plugins for these Cakewalk Sonar vocal presets?
The pack is built around Cakewalk track templates and ProChannel routing. Check the product notes for any legacy Sonitus processors. Sonar can migrate supported Sonitus instances to Core equivalents, but the Core plug-ins require an active BandLab Membership.
How do I install a Cakewalk Sonar track template?
Copy the .cwt file into your Sonar user templates folder, or import the track template from the File menu. Load it on a new or duplicate vocal track so you can verify every module before replacing an existing chain.
Which Cakewalk versions are supported now?
Cakewalk Sonar is the current supported application. Legacy Cakewalk by BandLab has been sunset, although Sonar can open its projects. The .cwt format is retained; verify legacy plug-ins when moving an older session into Sonar.
Is this Windows only?
Cakewalk Sonar is a Windows DAW. The product page should be treated as a Windows workflow even if Cakewalk Product Center is available on another platform.
Do these chains use ProChannel or the regular plugin rack?
Both — chains layer ProChannel modules (for console-style EQ and compression) with plugin rack inserts (for reverb, delay, gate). That’s how Cakewalk’s native workflow layers sit.
Can I modify the chain after loading it?
Yes — every ProChannel module and every plugin insert is live and tweakable. Save modified chains as new user templates for future use.
Does the chain load automation and sends too?
Yes — track templates in Cakewalk carry sends, automation envelopes, and bus routing. Everything loads with the preset.
Are these royalty-free?
Completely. Commercial releases, sync, anything.
