Cakewalk has been awesome. It never gets in the way of making music. The addition on Melodyne has completely changed my workflow. I know I'm probably only using a fraction of what Sonar can do but I also know that anytime I ask a question here on this forum, Sonar surprises me with yet another function I didn't know existed! Great work Cakewalk!

I agree - this model is much better. No more sudden overload of information to try and learn after a yearly update. 50% of which I would forget for a while under that steep learning curve. This approach helps me become more proficient with the software changes. Plus, I look forward to the monthly offerings!

I appreciate where the company has come from, where we are now, and where the current business model seems to be headed.  I have time to wrap my head around the coming updates and project where I can use the changes, before they hit.  For instance, in this past update - I had a need for mid side EQ processing, or at least thought I did.  When I added the changes, the first thing I did was try out my assumptions.  I had more than enough time to read about mid side processing, and we had the videos to cull through..  In a few words - instant gratification.  Because of the pre-release, I also caught a few concerns and questions...   
 
I could argue that the first year was the best because I was like a kid in a candy shop for months.  Now - I OWN the candy shop...
 
Take care

It is great that people are happy because it is likely to only get better.

I haven't chimed in because probably everyone knows I'm very happy with SONAR, but I think what you mention here is a big deal. 
 
Because I do commercial projects with SONAR, time is money. Some people find the monthly updates disruptive, but I find having to learn a lot of stuff at once much more disruptive than "learning on the installment plan."
 
As to the future, from what I've been able to glean CW has some very interesting things planned. Stay tuned.
