Thanks Keith.
I think that Logic, Cubase, Studio One, etc, and the rest will eventually offer Link. It's a no-brainer because there is a very serious community of iOS musicians (check out the Audiobus Forum) for whom this is a huge benefit. I don't imagine it involves much work to add a feature that comes from free code.
But Sonar can do it before the others because it updates more frequently. If Cakewalk does that, it will be noticed by all the iOS musicians who don't use Sonar (yet). Good marketing.
Cakewalk obviously cares about the iOS community because they put up Z3TA+ there.
Elson, it's true that Ableton Link is fun for playing live, but for iOS musicians who assemble their music in DAWs like Auria Pro and Cubasis, Link is an essential part of the workflow. And many, like myself, work on their computers as well as their iPads, using Studiomux and iConnectivity products
It's not a question of whether Cakewalk is like Reason but whether it wants to build a bridge to iOS musicians.
