I love the integration. It's what brought me back to Sonar. I'm sure there are better emulations but they sound damned good to me and the workflow is fantastic.

Concrete Limiter and PC2A are my faves. They get used all the time, often in preference to pricier stuff from other companies.

I like how the EQ is malleable in terms of response characteristics. It's the EQ I use unless there's some special characteristic of some other plug-in I need (but agree those numbers are too small!).

The Gate/Expander doesn't do it for me. Still using the Sonitus gate, and still waiting for Cakewalk to come up with a REAL expander.

I prefer the Cakewalk Tube Saturation over the Softube knob. I actually use Tube all the time with bass and drum sounds. The synth bass in my latest music video uses the Dim Pro "ballad bass," but being slammed by Tube. I also use Tube on some of the drums. I think it's really underrated because it's easy to get it to sound bad; but with a little work, you can make it sound wonderful, especially in conjunction with the right EQ.

The S-Type Channel Compressor is an odd one. It can give absolutely fabulous results as a levelling amp with guitar, but I haven't found that many other uses for it.

The integration is a HUGE plus for me. Having the FX built-in to the project and not having a zillion little windows open up all over the place really helps my workflow.
