History[edit]

Greg Hendershott founded the company in 1987 as Twelve Tone Systems, Inc., and was its CEO until July 1, 2012. The firm soon found that most customers referred to it by the name of its initial product, a MIDImusic sequencer that Hendershott had named Cakewalk. To avoid confusion, the company operated for many years as 'Twelve Tone Systems, Inc. DBA Cakewalk'.

Cakewalk by BandLab is a free, powerful and easy-to-use music creation and recording software. Carrying on a 30 year legacy of helping independent musicians. Most cakewalk music is notated in 2/4 time signature with two alternate heavy beats per bar, giving it an ooompah rhythm. The music was adopted into the works of various composers, including Robert Russell Bennett, John Philip Sousa, Claude Debussy and Louis Moreau Gottschalk.

The company released the original MIDI music sequencer product, Cakewalk, for MS-DOS in 1987. In 1991, they released a version for Windows 3.0. Why do software use mac address.

With the addition of more features, the company renamed the sequencer Cakewalk Pro, and then Cakewalk Pro Audio when it gained support for digitized audio.

The SONARdigital audio workstation provided users the ability to create projects in which they could edit digital audio tracks, MIDI tracks, and associated information like lyrics and music notation. SONAR's visual displays included audio waveforms, musical scores, editing consoles, and event lists. The user could mix MIDI output and audio tracks down to a stereo .WAV file and burn it to a CD or publish it in other media formats.
