"mix recall is so awesome..."
 
What do you think? Is it worth upgrading? Is it robust, well designed and thoroughly tested?
 
How do you use it? Has it changed the way you mix larger projects/albums?
 
Can you live without it anymore?

Cannot speak for actuall performance yet, not ran it fully on a major project - just smaller test projects testing reverbs and creating presets for them. And for that, just two tracks, just swapping reverbs it works just fine.
 
Plugin like Waves NLS or other console emulations, where on every track(or almost) - it's an excellent idea to use Mix recalls.
- should I use it at all, and which emulation and setting - even trying first or last in effect chain.
 
To do major swap all over a project - really cool.
 
As time goes one probably find a favorite to use all the time - but getting there and figuring that out Mix recall is invaluable help.
 
And even using it generating/exporting different mixes - as a batch job, unattended - will be interesting.
Just throw them in a player after export and swap and listen and compare - is one limiter doing a better job than the other.
 
But starting out on full project I will do a full Save Copy To first of project and work on that with Mix recalls.

Now that I have it I couldn't imagine not being able to use it.

It was introduced with the original release and has already had significant updates of features. Read about it here. https://www.cakewalk.com/Products/SONAR/Whats-New.

I'm finding it stable. If you're doing big mixes at a professional level and want to setup different mixes for review or to give clients choices or for checking a mix I can't think of a more complete tool to do it with. With being able to save busses as well and now synths and complete routing as well as save Mix Recall template tracks it's really full featured.
For use in a pro studio environment I think this is a game changer for Sonar.

Mix Recall is excellent. It has changed the way I think when mixing. It is a great tool to have that makes it easy to compare different mixes; helping you to blaze down the right trail.
