Thanks for the tip and link! Personally, I've been taking a closer look at the Presonus Studio One (Pro version) after seeing the large number of Sonar X1 and Cakewalk e-store complaints. Studio One Artist is a good place to start and see if it's what I want. I mean, 20 bucks for a nice DAW? You must be joking!!!

I'm not happy about learning a new DAW, though. I love Cakewalk Sonar and it has always worked great for me (I use Studio 8.5). What has me reconsidering Cakewalk now is the seemingly silent company response to the problems. I can't stand companies that ditch customer service - especially in a bad economy! I'm not sure that's going on with Cakewalk, but it has me concerned. My upgrade price is $200 for the Producer version, so if I'm going to part with the cash, I want to know the product will be delivered reasonably fast and will work as stated. Sorry, but $200 is still a lot of money in my world.

That, of course, is why I LOVE PG MUSIC!!! I bought the BIAB/RB upgrade for $100 last night and I started to download it immediately. No problems, no lost email messages, no major deal-breaking bugs. Just a product that does what it has always done!
