Thank that certainly helps. I owned and used cakewalk back when it was on floppy disk, an Cakewalk music creator thru 5 versions. Then purchased Sonar X1 and used it. I bought studio one 2.65 pro and used it some due to its comping feature. Cakewalks compungseems equal or even better now as the bounce is one click rather than two. I do like the chord track feature in S1 4. I wish Cakewalk had that feature.

I pulled away for a few years using a program called Multitrackstudios and then spent considerable time in Real Band so I lost focus on Cakewalk and it has changed somewhat. I feel the need to settle into one system and really learn it. Hence the reason I ask these questions. With the plugin developing I can see a good one program environment for my purposes.

Owning both S1 and cake how do they compare in Integration with Melodyne. I know Celemony and Presonus are tight partners does Cakewalk use Melodyne as effectively?
