They haven't removed anything.  The analyser was only ever available in the top level Sonar version.

IIRC, Sonar PRO has the flyout EQ but not the flyout spectrum analyzer if you are referring to the pro-ch.
I still have the Cakewalk Analyst from previous versions.
 

 
Sonar Professional does not have the flyout EQ.  See this message.
 
 

They definitly need to step up their game by offering some serious in the analysis area at least some like studio one for exemple..... with all the dev they put on newplugins , i would have expeted some update on this but nothing .... 

I just started using X3 Producer & am considering getting SONAR Professional.
I didn't know until now that pow-r rendering was missing, didn't realize that comparing versions in the features list here.

Is there anything else that's not listed I should be aware of?

If you're using X3 Producer, I would upgrade to Platinum. It's the top tier in the Sonar line now.

Thanks
I already have full versions of most of the included plugins, synths, AD2. The pc modules aren't necessary plus I write mostly instrumental music so I really don't need the VocalSync.
 
I'm more interested in how basic options differ from X3 Producer from SONAR Pro that aren't on that chart.
Features like pow-r would be a factor when choosing versions.

OT but I'm thinking I could always upgrade to Plat from Pro at a later date but I can't find the info.
Anyone know what the cost would be? I'm not following the pricing at the page here.

That chart is just for today.  Sonar Platinum will be getting new features through out the year. Here is what has been announced already for future release. https://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Up-Next#start More will be coming down the pike. 

Thanks
I'm looking for upgrade pricing though. SONAR Pro -> SONAR Plat
Is that somewhere?

Hello!

I believe the upgrade price currently is $149, but at a later date will be $199. I can't place where I saw this, so I hope it's accurate!

Hope this helps!

PS: This price not only includes Sonar Platinum, but a 12 month subscription, as well! I thought it best to mention that because I feel it's a rather important detail.
