There is also Studio One remote for Windows. https://www.presonus.com/...o-One-Remote/downloads

Please check out the Mixcraft thread in the Software forum:

It's way behind Sonar but might grow in a few years,, It did have one feature I wished Sonar had, in the PVR the note names show inside the note graphics or what ever they are called. Of all the DAW's I've demoed so far it's the only one I actually liked right away. But I don't need it. 

Started out using Mixcraft 6 as I just wanted to get ideas down for  the rest of the band ready for rehearsals but as I got more into it I purchased Cubase Elements which was a significant step to make. Knowing what I was missing out on with not being able to buy Cubase Pro outright I came across Cakewalks subscription offer & found everything about Sonar a joy to work with.
 
Got me thinking as a company like Magix have survived okay & they charge £449.99 for their Samplitude  Pro X3 Suite

I love the presonus remote. I use on Windows and Android all the time

I bought it tonight because it was on sale for $99 US.  My initial impression:
 
I spent a couple of hours on it.  It seems that if you're doing straight up "tape machine" type recording, it's fine. 

It's pretty intuitive.  I got around to creating tracks, importing audio, adding effects, and adjusting things pretty quickly. 

I'll give it a shot but will probably get Studio One as well.

It looks more like SONAR 8.5 with some nice additions from later version.  Docking, for example, which is integral to the way I work.  I thought I saw a matrix type thing.
 
Something SONAR never had - nice video tutorials that give you the basics and goes slowly.  Not that I need a lot of the beginner stuff and "What is aVSTi's," but it is nice to follow a project from the start and go, "yea, that is right and that is different." IF SONAR had similar tutorials about half the forum post would be gone where newbies asked exactly those kind of questions.  Excellent stuff, Acoustica.
 
Anyone thinking of the program ought to check out the videos.

fade ins/outs and clip volume control is not very good in mixcraft compared with sonar
