Will you make the V-Studio 700 the centrepiece of your studio?

Cakewalk says that the V-Studio 700 will be shipping in February 2009 and that it'll be available for around $4,000 in the US. International pricing will be sorted out by local distributors – we're guessing that the system will cost in excess of £2,000 in the UK.

This sounds like a lot, but having seen the V-Studio 700 in action, MusicRadar has to say that it could be a price worth paying. You do get plenty of bang for your buck with this one, but those who can't justify spending so much will be pleased to learn that Cakewalk hopes to add more affordable products to the range in the future.

Hopefully, one of these will be a standalone controller: at the moment, the VS-700C has to be bought and used with the VS-700R, but existing Sonar users might already have a good quality audio interface and will question whether they can justify investing in a product that includes another one.

You can get just a small taste of what the VS-700C can do for your workflow by watching our demo video below - head on over to the dedicated Sonar V-Studio website for more clips and detailed specs.
