Cakewalk is replacing Music Creator with Sonar Home Studio. The last Music Creator, Music Creator 7, is based on an older Sonar DAW engine while Sonar Home Studio uses the current Sonar DAW engine.

Cakewalk presently offers both ++ SONAR HOME STUDIO ++ and ++ MUSIC CREATOR 7 ++ . PG Music also offers Music Creator 7 ++ HERE ++ . Cakewalk's product pages show Sonar Home Studio works with Windows 8 & 10 while Music Creator 7 works with Windows 7, 8 & 10.

Both products include the multi-timbrel soft synth, TTS-1, and the Studio Instruments virtual software suite of drums, electric bass, electric keyboard and orchestra strings. Many people purchase one of these low cost DAWs just to obtain the soft synth and virtual instruments.

Home Studio has a better feature set than Music Creator 7 but, as a long time user, I'm going to miss watching the progression of Music Creator.
