Right, it helps to have several tools to work most efficiently and produce quality work.

I also use SONAR (because I learned it long before RealBand or PowerTracks existed), and it is still going strong and is stable with version X3. X4 is expected before the end of the fall, according to past history. BIAB works great with SONAR using what BIAB calls Drag 'n Drop, which has improved with the latest version of BIAB.

I also use Ozone for mastering - love it. Sound Forge is great; I happen to use a competitor, Adobe Audition, for stereo audio editing, but Sound Forge is fine.

All of these are still very much in use by many.
