I really love dropzone, but when is cakewalk going to make it 64bit?
I hope they don't leaving hanging like audio creator

IMHO Dropzone and RXP are underrated and underappreciated...would love to see them brought up to date. Most people probably don't use them, so they'd seem like new instruments 

I cannot get dropzone to even show up in sonar
anyone else having this issue

I have the same impression about Roland DXi synths and Cakewalk SI series. They sit well in a mix and sound like a record.

Soundwise

Agreed. In my Anatomy of a Project article in this month's eZine I mentioned replacing the Kontakt strings with SI Strings. Not because there was anything wrong with the Kontakt, just that - like you say - the SI ones sat well in the mix.
 
I like the choirs in the TTS-1 and use them a lot when I need choir parts.
 
(P.S. - Friday's Tip of the Week will provide dual panpots integrated into Console View, which you and a couple other people requested. It's one of those ideas that's so obvious no one thought of it yet...no, it doesn't use FX Chains.)

I like Pop and Orchestral templates that use TTS1. Amazingly easy to work with and sound great.
PS I think I know this trick.

Cool! Those are two I designed for my own use. When someone at Cakewalk tried out the Orchestral template, he was shocked at how good the instrument sounds are...he hadn't played with them in a while.
 
Roland has always had good sounds in their synths, their "SuperNatural" technology in the latest generation is pretty impressive. I hope the TTS-1 will not become "obsolete" and fall by the wayside.
 
 

TTS-1 is just great for making midi sound reasonable from the get-go.  I have a 3 piece cover "band" (2 guitarists and a lead vocalist) that has me make them karaoke style BG tracks of drums, bass, keys and whatever else is missing to play to when they play the local bars. 

They buy pro midi tracks and have me create the backing tracks with my softsynths.  When they send them to me via email, I open them to preview with Media Player and they sound like ass.  I load the whole file with TTS-1 in the studio and the quality immediately goes way up.  Then, I replace a part at a time with the more natural sounding softsynths and tweak the controllers to get the most "real" sounds I can get.  Thankfully, the midi files they get are usually pretty well done so there is not a lot of mechanical sounding stuff like Band in a Box outputs to have to tweak. 

For strings and bass I usually go with SI as they mix so well but often find I keep a TTS-1 track or two in the mix as well when things get busy.

Now, I really never got into Drop-Zone or RXP, just never really understood them and did not have any projects that I could not complete with the tools I already understood.
