For some freakin reasons

Haha... you got it right lunatech that is why I some sort of contemplating filing a legal case against cakewalk for duping me (Gosh I was about to order Cubase 7 but for some reasons I went to cakewalk store).
Anyway, before I forgot, thanks also for the very informative advice (and those who have contributed as well) as far as the specs for my next build. Ive already decided, although still waiting for C2 stepping Mobo's to arrive in our country before hitting the stores, to get the parts I think in relation to your advice. I just changed the mobo to asus deluxe and Kingston to corsair and Kingston hyperX ssd to Samsung 840 pro. As far as pre's and converters, since what I am doing is more of like a hobby ( as what you've said just go to things that I need), as I am not really a musician by profession but a porn star moonlighting as gigolo hehe, I think I just have to settle with what I already have already. After all, according to my sort of research, with the soon to be built that I am going to have, its just like an old man cranking up so much Viagra in his system kind of effect to my current external hardwares. Needless to say, the only reason why Id like also to update my system is I do also heavy gaming stuffs that is why hehe ;)
 
Anyway, pardon if this is redundant, but I am still hoping bakers would also grant my wish to consider that features I have stated as I think, it would not only help those who are pro's like most of people here but also to people like me who may have the passion for music but not having the necessary "education". As a matter of fact, in the avid pro forum community, they are also mentioning these stuffs.

Ei Thanks CakeAlex. Sure would not let this great opportunity to inform the bakers about this pass ;)

I hope they could also integrate that chord track and intelligent composing assistance ala Cubase 7. As you know, especially to people like me who has the passion for writing songs yet does not have the "proper" music education, these features would greatly help us.

Nyo..., have you looked at plugins like this: http://www.7aliens.com/w2-harmonizer-vst ? Or this: http://www.synleor.com/improvisator.html ? Or this: http://www.cognitone.com/products/nav/intro/page.stml There are others, they all have demos, many are VSTs that plug into Sonar. Some like the Cognitone are standalone (import the results in Sonar, easy as a, well, cakewalk), but WAY more powerful (and fun) than Cubase (or Sonar) are ever likely to be. Check their sound file examples http://www.cognitone.com/products/mps/examples.stml  There _are_ other options for the capabilities you (I think) want, and better ones, than what Cubase has or Sonar "may have" someday.That's what third-parties are all about. And they're available NOW! 
 
Related story, I was looking for live looping capabilities, tried all sorts of jerry-rigging with Sonar (kids, don't try this at home) and finally resigned myself to bellying up and purchasing Ableton Live. Fortunately, I first found Mobius which, for me, is tons the better looping solution (one of those it's-doing-what-I-want-and-I-haven't-even-scratched-the-surface types of products and it's free (though I would have paid anyway, because solutions are worth it). Point being, Cubase ain't the only way to skin a cat, there are things to at least try, inside, or side-by-side, Sonar.
 
Best of luck on your song writing adventures.
