Cakewalk Sonar 7 Producer Edition £349
Sonar remains - at least in its Producer Edition guise - perhaps the single most comprehensive Windows production suite money can buy.

I upgraded from Sonar 5 Studio Edition and am delighted with 7PE. The quality and intuitiveness of the GUI make it great to use and the sheer number of included plugins (effects and intstruments) make it very good value.

All singing, all dancing Windows-based DAW with tons of features and lots of included plugin synths and effects (with a few noteables like z3ta+ and Roland's V-Vocal vocal processing). No complaints from me. Way more comfortable GUI than Cubase 4 (which i also own).

Pros
Hugely comprehensive. Sidechain support. Full version of Z3TA+ in the box! Superb step sequencer. MIDI refinements galore. V-Vocal now converts pitch to MIDI.
Cons
V-Vocal still only works 'offline'.
Verdict
A fantastic update that sees Sonar both overtaking the competition and innovating in several areas. It might just be the best PC DAW of its generation.
