Well, I am going to go with "Professional" (I have studio) The monthly payment is what did it for me.(with the wife not working, $99 is to much at once) I understand what they are doing with the membership. It sort of forces Cakewalk to continually upgrade and release them right away. If they don't, then people will be dropping the membership and Cakewalk will lose customers and of course, $$$$. I will keep going with the membership, but if there are no releases in a year, then I will need to rethink.
I think the membership will work though.
