I am a devoted fan of CAKEWALK and openly sing its praises on the Mudcat and elsewhere.
However, since Emagic Logic is abandoning the Windows medium and moving over to mac; it was my thinking that the price might fall to bargain basement levels for the PC platform....and it could become a toy to play with.
I know musicians that use SoundForge and Cakewalk but no-one who has experienced Logic; perhaps the German/European orgin has limited its western distribution.
In regard to your question michaelr I can refer you to:
