Cakewalk announced the release of Cakewalk Metro SE
for the iMac. Unlike other Mac-based music software, Metro SE enables
iMac users to start recording and mixing music on their computer without
having to make a significant investment in software and compatible hardware.
Metro SE will also work on higher-powered Macs, including the new G3 and
G4 models.
Metro(tm) SE ($29 U.S.) is based on Cakewalk's award-winning Metro
5 professional recording software for the Mac. The new Metro SE edition
will be available on January 14, 2000, exclusively by download at www.cakewalk.com.
"We realized that no other music software manufacturers
were addressing the needs of new iMac users," said Michael Hoover,
product manager at Cakewalk. "Metro SE is an affordable, creative
music production tool, yet it's simple enough for novice users to start
recording, editing and mixing their own digital audio and MIDI tracks.
You can even import MP3 files from the Web."
"With support for Apple Sound Manager, external
USB devices, and QuickTime Musical instruments, Metro SE works great on
an iMac," continued Hoover. " So the new iMac user doesn't need
to purchase additional audio hardware or other devices to start creating
music with Metro SE."
Metro SE's scalable design allows users to expand their
system with additional audio and MIDI hardware as their needs grow. Registered
Metro SE users can also upgrade to the more advanced-level Metro 5 software
directly through Cakewalk.
