I agree that what you're describing is an extremely likely scenario. If SONAR could add features that help people make/compose music, and do so in a way that would be comfortable to both the "beats" people and the more traditional recording folks, I think that would help retain existing users and possibly even get some new ones (specifically, the people who find "beats"-oriented programs overly limiting past a certain point).

Wasn't this called Project5? :-P

Project 5 may have been an attempt at that but fell short. Not a bad program, but another one of those offering just enough to remind you of where it cones up short in certain areas.
