Do you own Cakewalk, or are you speaking about some demo you
ran?? Do you have any *experience* using CAL? CAL can be used to
create complex controller effects, complicated and tedious
event-insertion tasks such as guitar-chord insertions,
as well as mundane "housekeeping" tasks. It is only as powerful
as the programmer and/or the library of CALs available. Currently,
there are hundreds of quality CALs *freely* available, though they'll
only run in Cakewalk...

As for digital audio capabilities, Bruce is wrong. Standard
MCI commands can be handled, so wav files can both be created
and played back within CW. This isn't to say that the dig-audio
is pro quality or anyhting, but it *can* do some things.

Cubase is notorious for Crashing Windows, so beware. It is buggy,
and it isn't suprising, considering that it is a MAC program
ported to the PC.
