The drum replacer and Adaptive limiter are not part of the SONAR Platinum installer so are not part of CbB either. VocalSync is in CbB along with the MFX plug-ins.
 
I got Drum Replacer and Adaptive Limiter as part of the monthly update of Sonar Platinum(SPLAT) for free.

This has probably been asked.....I have the full Sonar Plat last full version, do I need to install the additional content version or just the Cakewalk only?

Cakewalk only

Thanks Meng a list would help for sure. 
 
This morning I did some experimenting. 
First, the assistant seems buggy still. It took 4 tries to get it to wake up. 
It was just going round and round and I had to kill it with Task Manager. 
Once I got it working I went to the APPs and found out the option to download  Cakewalk and the additional content is now gone. Oh well. 
 
So I loaded up an project with real drums etc and tried a few things I commonly do in Splat.
First I dragged a Bass track to a MIDI track, hey, it's working, it said "Mixing Down Audio" and  showed a progress bar like always. But sadly when it was finished there was nothing there. Was what I expected without Melodyn but I was briefly excited that it was going to work.
 
Under Regional Effects there is only Vocal Sync. No drum replacer. 

No, just download the core program.

I'll just add this here.
Because there is no theme editor yet first timers have only the 2 themes Tungsten and Mercury. 
Tungsten I can no longer use because of the Dark PVR so have to use Mercury. 
Murcury defaults to your track colours overlayed on each track which is almost more annouying than the Dark PVR.
Noel pointed me to a little box you uncheck in Preferences/Colours that disables this. 
 
People with the Splat version can copy over the Sonar  Tungsten theme to the Cakewalk Theme folder. 

 
How does my old Sonar Platinum licence interact with the new BandLab licence ?
 
Can I now legally run Platinum and CwbBL concurrently ?
 

Different products from different companies each with their own license. Given that BandLab purchased Gibson/Cakewalk IP and recommends maintaining your previous SONAR install while adding CbB, I doubt there is a legal issue.

I thought I'd update my experiance so far with the bare bones DAW.
Here is my Pro Channel options. 

 
So no compressors. 
 
I've been populating my sparce VST collections with some of my favorite freebies. 
 
First is under a new user name I installed the XLN installer and grabbed the demo for the AD keys. Great piano but with a 4 octave limitation. Hasn't bothered me yet.
 
Second the Ample P bass free. Best bass I've ever used also with a small issue of no notes below E. Bummer for a few songs of mine but good for 98%. 
 
Ample also has a Guitar VST that I grabbed while on the web site, Havn't tried it yet. 
 
Then I downloaded my favorite free  60's organ VST called the Combo F.  

Cactus Music
 
So no compressors. 
 

Not sure this is correct. Check the PC modules in the track. If either the PC76 and PC4K are already on the track, they will not show in the insert module menu. The one not in use should appear on the replace module menu.
