Hey I didn't know about cakewalk's change in management/ownership? Thought Roland was still holding that down? Anyways, I just wrote to another list about that, they've provided UI automation and other "microsoft accessibility technologies for windows", so I think that's as far as they'll get. Much like they did with the CW access window that both current jaws script solutions have used in combination with control surface DLL's since sonar 2. I guess the rest of the work has to be done by screen reader developers, or should I say scripters. The issue is that the entire interface is now different, so as we all know that means rewriting much of the scripts (if not all) from scratch. So yea, we are at a bridge, various things to look at and consider. Sonar is now 3 versions behind for us in terms of access. You are right about reaper, I've heard of good results people are having on it, even with top-end AMD machines (which many would tell you are no good for daws, though I might disagree). With about 500 bucks, somebody can get a full DAW system running with reaper, and with amazing results. On the Sonar front, did they provide a specific list of those "minor improvements"? I looked but couldn't find 1.

If Cakewalk wil not play ball and haven't for some time, and are now part of Gibson Corp, perhaps it's time to put our eggs collectively in another basket. The cost savings not to mention less computing power required, are only two great things in favor of Reaper.
