I don't think Cubase has an Event List. That's a deal breaker for me. I use it constantly, along with staff view. That's why Reaper has worked out so well for me. A great notation editor, and an Event List identical to Sonar's.




Cubase Pro has a page called List Editor which looks like an Event List to me but I'm looking at their web page as I don't own it (well, not yet anyway !). It's about halfway down the page, after Score Editor.

Is that what you're after ?

Thanks Bob, I must have missed that somehow. Yes, it looks like that would be what I'm looking for. As the text says, it can be a huge timesaver.

I remember reading this, so I looked up the wiki... Studio One was largely designed by ex Steinberg engineers.  They have strong cvs.  
From Wiki
In 2006, KristalLabs Software Ltd., a start-up founded by Wolfgang Kundrus and Matthias Juwan, began working on Studio One in cooperation with PreSonus. Kundrus was one of the early developers of Cubase and was the primary author of Nuendo for Steinberg. Juwan had written version 3 of the Virtual Studio Technology (VST) plug-in specification, and written the freeware KRISTAL Audio Engine. KristalLabs later became an integrated part of PreSonus. Wolfgang Kundrus was the Managing Director and Matthias Juwan chief technology officer (CTO). Wolfgang Kundrus left PreSonus in 2014 and is now Head of Software Development for EastWest Sounds. [3] Other members of the team who also originally came from Steinberg include Maik Oppermann and Eike Jonas.[4]

Quite agree !   One of my top five most used screens in Sonar, essential requirement in any replacement DAW.

I have a Studio One Professional V3.5 upgrade in the pipeline; up from V2.x Professional (that I never used).  However, I took a look at the Mixcraft (acoustica.com) site and as a big fan of iZotope products, the Mastering Essentials caught my eye.  Do you happen to know if it's 'trapped' inside MixCraft like the Adaptive Limiter is trapped inside of Sonar?  In addition, the Ferox Tape Emulator and the Pianissimo VSTi seem to be excellent things that would push me to buy if they aren't proprietary to Mixcraft.  




I've never confirmed that the Izotope Mastering Essentials is usable only by Mixcraft, but I suspect that it is, in much the same way they were inside Sound Forge.  During the Mixcraft install, Pianissimo gets automatically validated for serial number confirmation, and is installed as if it were the one-off purchased plugin.  The dll gets put in a Mixcraft folder, however, so you might need to either move it, or have Studio One scan the folder.  The same is true for the Ferox Tape Emulator, I believe.

Pardon me if this question has already been answered.  One of the factors in mixing are the available plugins for the audio tracks.  Will the plugins that SPLAT provided, such as ProChannel, be available in other DAWs, or are they specifically licensed only to run under SPLAT?

Some will. There was a list posted on the forum recently in a thread asking this question. Note at ProChannel is not a plugin - it's built into Sonar.

I've been fighting with the transition. I bought Studio One, Samplitude and Reaper. I find myself working mainly on Studio One, but I've grown so used to Sound on Sound recording mode which none support. I am loading Cakewalk by Bandlab and hope I don't have to relearn another DAW.

You already have 3 great DAWs and you are adding yet another great DAW to that collection.
 
Unfortunately, you need to learn each DAW separately. Some parts are more strait in one DAW compare to another, but there will be opposite cases.
F.e. REAPER can loop record with Sound on Sound but a beginner will probably never realize how (3 options should be set, at 3 different places, one of which has such a name that it is impossible to understand its relation to required behavior).
CbB is (IMHO) simpler to start recording then REAPER. But it also has many not self explaining options spread across different places.
