The current version of CakeTalking, 8.5, works with Sonar 8.31 through 8.53. All current CakeTalking customers can run the older versions, though. CakeTalking 8 works just fine with Sonar 8.02, for example.

Hey Bryan, I'm hoping to do just this. I have boot camp setup and have Sonar 8 Producer installed on the Windows 7 side. Will I be able to use the CakeTalking scripts with 8.0? It appears that its only available if you have 8.5 installed.
