just to clarify: there is NO spectrum analyzer like the cakewalk AN-879 analyst that is included with sonar platinum?
That just seems so backwards that I'd have to download a third party plugin just to do such a simple and critical task..
You can look at it this way...
As you may have seen...Voxengo's SPAN has become the defacto standard in SONAR circles for quite some time. Cakewalk included an analyzer at one time, but very few people used it, because they had "imprinted" on SPAN already. Cake probably was merely reacting to the "truth on the ground" and decided to stop shipping (and supporting) something that was getting minimal use anyway.
Also...it allows Voxengo a foot in the door to introduce their product line to Cakewalk customers...in a "one hand washes the other" fashion.
