Having said that, the new effects and the tuner seem, to me, like a waste of dev time.
Check out the new Quadrafuzz. It's an update of my original design so they didn't have to spend a lot of time on it. No other DAW incorporates similar four-band multiband processing in a single effect (however TH2 can do biamped processing). You would need to get something like iZotope Trash or Guitar Rig, which can set up multiple splits.
Unfortunately the new QFuzz won't load in other hosts so in SONAR, I have a track preset that includes the effects needed to replicate what the Quadrafuzz does. I also still have the 1.0 Steinberg version, which loads into SONAR.
As to warping, for just taking any file, bringing it in, and having it quantized, I have yet to find anything better than the pro algorithm Ableton Live uses. I bet it cost a bunch to license...it's outstanding and no one else has it. It's something Traktor should have!!!! I use Live to prep the files so that they're consistent enough for Traktor, which can't do warping (a major drawback in an otherwise stellar DJ program).
