It is for looks and to a large degree 4k monitors where you might want to scale things up to see them. - this is to my understanding anyway Your problems, try a couple of things - run LatencyMonitor and see if that is causing audio dropout and engine stop - set priority in Nvidia panel to performance - there is also a setting in Cakewalk/Sonar configuration how long dropout is accepted before dropping engine - any wifi in windows is often culprit, set it to flight mode and disable when doing audio work - my laptop turnes even off power to network card in flight mode to save energy

Isn't there also very little that has to be vectorized - there are a lot of surfaces that are filled with a texture brush, dialogs and panels, toolbars and such - left is fonts, size of fields in dialogs, borders and windows controls which probably scale - most of that was in windows 3.x already, if called dialog units apart from pixels, that could be scaled to pixels depending on dpi of screen Icon images need to be vectorized I assume. Track icons and such. You don't need to vectorize it all, as some comments seem to suggest. Like what you see is a video frame and that has to be vectorized and then scaled, which is not the case.

Yet another idea apart from Artist, Pro and Platinum like before. You have Sonar - as raw as daw comes without most exclusive plugins and synths and content overall and Sonar Suite - with all the bling-bling A lot of software has this approach. PowerDirector, Magix Independence etc. And easy to target different price points.

i would really like a full blown web page showing off everything that happended since Sonar Platinum in features. Comparison table and all, since to compare with payed products. Not thinking side by side in table with other products, just Platinum and new Sonar. Unclear is also if new Sonar will be different levels, like Artist, Pro and Platinum were. That is one way of handling different wallet sizes. rather than having one size fits all. Just a listing of what happend last 5 years with Sonar to the new Sonar. It will certainly be impressive. This as soon as possible since a lot of buzz right now. Some seem to think of free daws as another type of product to compare with other free products. I think Sonar compares with any other daw.

Let's be fair, you can stop paying anytime you want and the product keeps working. If subscriptions expire, then it stops working. I think the "gibson model" were ok, you could make a statement and stop paying saying I am not that satisfied. It's very much like paying for upgrades traditional way like Cubase and alike has. The difference was every month or as often as you like you got loads of bugfixes and new features with "gibson model". I did the annual model and it was perfect for me. My objection is the 6 months mandatory activation period as CbB. Three years ago and it was time for reactivation and it did not work. So uninstalled CbB and went back to good old Sonar Artist 2015, and has been on that since. New computer since 5 month, and only daw installed is Sonar Artist. My path has been Fostex Portastudios beginning millenium, nTrack, Sonar Studio 4, Sonar Studio 8.5, Reaper 3-4, Samplitude ProX2, Sonar X3, Cubase Pro 8-9.5, StudioOne 4, Sonar Artist. And evaluated ProTools somewhere in between there. Sonar stands the test. So look forward to a new Sonar unless some mandatory activation period. Cubase or Gibson models are fine with me.
