It has no capacity for digital audio > at all however. 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.
