: 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
: only run in Cakewalk...

	Yes I do own CW Pro...and yes I've used it quite a
	bit. I'm glad you're so impressed with CAL, I bought
	CW pro partly because of CAL and was rather disappointed
	with its capabilities.

: 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.

	I'm not wrong at all. You can insert small .wav files
	here and there and that's not the same thing as what 
	the original poster was inquiring about.

: 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.

	You work for 12-tone systems or just own alot of
	their stock? You awfully zealous about ....software...!!


	Since you're so savvy on CW, do you know if the CW with
	digital audio is entirely new product or will it be available
	at all for an "upgrade" price to curent registered CW-pro
	owners? (Wishful thinking...)
