StudioOne and Cakewalk both support ARA and have for several years -- I think they both support ARA2 StudioOne has ARA2 implemented, I can't find a specific support statement about Cakewalk. Os it is most accurate to say that the ARA implementations are equivalent, and the ARA2 implementations probably will also be equivalent, but that's a moving target.

I think the Melodyne (original ARA) support is equivalent. In other words, you can operate directly on regions without having the "transfer" the material into Melodyne. ARA2 should get both products the ability to use the multi-track editing in Melodyne.

Steinberg has committed to a patch to Cubase 10 early in 2019 to provide ARA support for Melodyne. This is an important step for the industry and also for Steinberg. Steinberg likes to imagine nobody else mas technology as good as theirs. Cubase has a feature that competes with Melodyne. It is good, but it is not as rich as Melodyne. I am glad to see Steinberg taking a more open, inclusive stance these days. I will upgrade to Cobase 10 as soon as they release that patch. The 10.0 level has been a little buggy for some people.
