I'm transitioning to Cubase Pro 9.5.  I see a lot of people going for Studio One, but if you want to know why that wasn't even close to an option for me, Google "Presonus groundbreaking ceremony Louisiana" (images) and you will see my answer.

Its got nothing to do with how great a DAW it is though

No, but it has everything to do with who I am willing to give my money to.

i'm not sure what i'm supposed to be seeing there?

Googled. Just saw men in suits.

I'm guessing it's because they were photographed with a Republican. Personally I couldn't care less if the developers of my DAW take a photo opportunity with a politician I disagree with. He is the governor of Louisiana after all, love him or hate him. Until my dreams of a libertarian wonderland bear fruit, businesses are always going to have to bite their tongues and suck up to government figures

Huh?  Don't get it...looks like a healthy growing company with a good product that is employing people and contributing to the local economy.  Unlike Gibson, etc.

I know this sounds awful, but I'm almost grateful for what happened (I should imagine Cakewalk employees don't feel the same way) - if it didn't happen, I would still be plodding along with Sonar and all of its problems hoping for fixes that probably weren't coming, thinking that "jumping ship" was a pipe dream, that I would never take the time to learn another DAW. I'm still using Sonar to finish old projects although I honestly don't know if I'll get all of them done given how problematic, buggy and unstable Sonar is for me. But test driving Bitwig has made me realize just how much greener the grass is in many ways, and it's been a treat to mess with a fresh young DAW that's been built on brand new code & design from the ground up, paying attention to the shortcomings and mistakes of DAWs gone by. There's loads of stuff in newer DAWs like Bitwig that will make you think wow, Sonar could never have done this without an extensive rewrite and design rethink. 
 
I used to listen to people talk about using multiple DAWs on this forum and think, why bother? Surely that's more trouble than its worth. But having test driven Bitwig and to some extent Reaper, I now understand that. They really do have their individual strengths and no one DAW is a jack of all trades. At one time I demoed Studio One and was really impressed with how well designed and snappy it is, and I would have gone with it now like so many other people here but I was just so intrigued by the futuristic design of Bitwig. If I had more spare cash lying around I probably would have gone with S1 as a sort of backup/"normal" DAW to compliment Bitwig, but I'll probably save the $$$'s and use Reaper for that instead. We just ought to be thankful there are so many choices these days. 

I admit to the same heresy. One simple example: of all the software I’ve run on multiple computers for many years, Sonar is the only one that routinely causes a complete crash, BSOD. I switched to Reaper a couple of years ago because of that, and it’s reliabilty has been a breath of fresh air. I’m almost relieved that now I am better off migrating everything to Reaper, although sad to be saying farewell to Sonar after 15 years.

Looked at the groundbreaking photos. Don't get it, all I saw was a bunch of guys with shovels. Looked very similar to most other groundbreaking ceremony photos I have seen.  ???  I see you're from San Fran, is this possibly a racial or political thing?

Oh..... You're probably right sharke, I am just not conditioned to think that way. I associate freely with people of many differing viewpoints, but unfortunately I see more and more of this kind of thinking all the time.  I would find it exhausting to subject all of my purchasing decisions to a political litmus test.  But as they say, it's a free country, and I certainly support SF_Green's right to do so if that is his/her pleasure.  Mellow greetings and be well citizens.

Presonus mixing with Republicans...?
Ok I'm selling up immediately!!










(Just as soon as I get this song down and they make me pay their taxes).

Yeah. It's a shame, isn't it, that some people are so blinded - so unhinged - by their hatred that they won't even acknowledge it when someone on the "other side" says or does something nice. Some of them would get pissed off and turn the money down if Donald Trump offered to pay for 100% of his wife's cancer treatment.

PreSonus is looked upon with great favor in Baton Rouge because they contribute a lot to the local economy and civic activities. I'm not surprised the state's Governor would show up at a groundbreaking ceremony. It think the implication is that Jindal supports PreSonus, not necessarily that PreSonus supports Jindal.
