I found that each DAW has merit that I crossgraded to. I got Samplitude X3 suite. Presonus Studio One 3 and 4, Tracktion Waveform to mention a few.
Studio One I didn't mesh with at first but made an effort to watch the videos and started to click. Samplitude I really like and the staff view works the way I need it to for my needs Not a diss at Cakewalk my the way. I never abandoned Cakewalk but I didn't want to be left out in the dust if Windows upgrade broke my Cakewalk Platinum. So now I am happy Cakewalk is alive and it will be my primary DAW but Samplitude and Studio One and Tracktion I have used for different reasons. I won't upgrade each DAW at every major upgrade. Samplitude X4 I will wait till the upgrade price is a better deal. I don't use most of the stuff as it is. Tracktion Waveform is nice as a scratchpad and I will upgrade to version 10 when on sale.
As several users on the forum that I respect have said. Each DAW has strength and weaknesses. Learn one deeply and another two to get by and you will be golden.
my 2¢ worth................Don't spend it all in one place
