just came across this if anyone's interested Sonar users exclusive offer
Mixcraft 8 Pro Studio for $99!

I suspect the demise of Cakewalk has been good news for a lot of other DAW vendors.

I've had Mixcraft for a number of years and used it for a couple of projects. And at $99, the price is pretty nice.

Yes, good find. They posted that on Tuesday. There is some good info in this thread:
