    Hi. It is totally worth the plunge. And if you are ever in trouble, the amount of knowledge (that and the willingness to help around here) is astonishing
    And welcome

    Yes yes yes. I went from X1 producer to platinum and I was blown away by the new workflow improvements.

    Cakewalk has a great demo policy. Use it for as long as you want, can't save projectsprojects. Right now, I am not convinced yet. For my uses( lots of tracking, vsti's, usually a couple of plug ins, melodyne) it is not much different that X3. Again, the demo will let me decide later as I get deeper into it. X3 is very stable for me now.

    The bang for buck with Platinum is great...
    And the features, monthly (or more) updates, 
    and, as a has been stated, the tremendous amount
    of knowledge here in the forum, it's pretty much a 
    no brainer if you are already a Sonar user...

    Yes! It is well worth the cost!

    X3e is a wonderful DAW, but the many advances continually being made and deluvered monthly make the move very worthwhile!
