Got a $20 deal on Cakewalk, so grabbed it.
Shortly thereafter, early fall 2012, upgraded to Sonar X1 Studio upgrade for
$79.

Worked a bit with it then went back to RB. Sonar has some incredible capabilities
but already reasonably familiar with RB and PT.

The great thing was the Sonitusfx VST's.
Not sure if they came with Cakewalk 6 or Sonar.

Am very guilty of using presets, guess thats a bummer for you pro's,
but Really like the Sonitusfx MultiBand and Also the Sonitusfx Reverb (great on solo's).

Also like the K-Meter VST that a member recommended.

(I saw by this link there is a newer version will grab later)
This along with the RB output meter makes a nice pair to work with.

Also The M-Stereo Expander.

Have many more, unexplored by newbie in this area.
