• Pow-r 1. Noise-shaped dither. Advantages: less CPU-intensive than Pow-r types 2 and 3,
lower perceived loudness than Rectangular or Triangular. Disadvantages: less noise shaping
than Pow-r types 2 and 3, not recommended for operations where dither will be applied
successively (e.g. bounce and freeze).
• Pow-r 2. Noise-shaped dither. Advantages: lowest perceived loudness, highest quality
settings, recommended for audio export. Disadvantages: highest CPU-intensive settings, not
recommended for operations where dither will be applied successively (e.g. bounce and
freeze).
• Pow-r 3. Same as Pow-r 2 except most CPU-intensive and transparent of all choices.
To Choose Dithering Options
1. Open the Audio Options dialog (Options > Audio command).
2. On the Advanced tab, under Playback and Recording, choose the kind of dithering you want in
the Dithering field.
3. Click OK.
Burning audio CDs
SONAR has integrated Audio CD burning, which allows you to write your audio tracks to an audio
CD that can be played in any standard CD player.
The Tools > Burn Audio CD command lets you burn your tracks to an audio CD that you can play in
any standard CD player.
For more information about the Tools > Burn Audio CD command, see Audio CD Burner dialog and

Cakewalk Publisher
You can use Publisher to create a customized streaming music player with a playlist of your music,
upload the player to your personal or band's web site, and embed it in any other web site. You can
also update your playlist with album art, links (URLs), and artist, track, & album information.
Publisher works by connecting to your web host's FTP account (usually provided when you sign up
with a web hosting company and create a web site) and uploading files to a location of your
choosing. Once these files are successfully transferred to your web site, Publisher generates a
simple HTML tag that you can paste into any other web site to embed and display your audio player.
For those familiar with it, the process is similar to selecting images that are originally hosted on one
web site and displaying them on a different web site.
