Studio One I believe I will use it like Craig does for Mastering. (that would be me) I'm really glad I got it last year at the sale price. Samplitude reminds me of Sonar 8.5 layout in a way and I really like that Samplitude so far has not forgot about folks with bad eyesight. I like Tracktion for what they are doing and it is a great scratchpad DAW.

I didn't register Studio One until 4 came out and I got Studio One version 4 upgrade for free.

I brought Presonus Studio one 3.5, Samplitude Pro X3 and Tracktion Waveform 8 when Sonar exited the scene. Window shopping is fun, but it doesn't accomplish my goal. Many have crossed over and came back for a number of reasons. Similar to you, I use my DAW as a glorified recording machine most of the time. A cool feature might seem like something you would die for until you realize you'll seldom use it. You will be likely be spending a lot of time with your DAW. I don't think CbB is going anywhere either.

Now is probably one of the best times of year if you've decided to do it. I would suggest to try the free demos if available to see if it floats your boat. All the DAWS you mentioned are pretty good. That cool limiter you like can probably only be used in said DAW. Some of the plugins will cross over but many won't, meaning they only work in that DAW. I do what's the easiest with the least amount of time. Of the 4 or so DAWS I bought I seldom use them. Unless you happen to be gainfully retired with tons of time on your hands it can be a challenge to sit down every evening and learn a new DAW when you could be making music instead. This is probably the main hangup I have with multiple DAWS. I know there are people here that have added one or the other of these apps to their toolbox. But nothing I've found online confirms what version of Sound Forge would be in X4 Suite.

Then I'd be getting a new DAW plus a Sound Forge upgrade. My hope would be that the X4 Suite includes Sound Forge Pro 12. The potential bonus here is that the X3 Suite comes with Sound Forge Pro 11 (which I already own/use). The UI seems a bit dated, but I was able to get a simple recording done without referring to help pages. Don't like the separate mixer window, but I can mix just using their version of the Track View. There is also the option to buy the Samplitude Pro X3 Suite (with free upgrade to X4 Suite next month) for $199. There are certainly lots of happy S1 users out there and a busy forum for help and guidance. I rather like the SONAR option of just using the vol/pan/etc controls in Track View.

I've basically liked what I've seen S1P 3.x but I do not like being forced to use a console/mixer to mix. I own Studio 1 Artist 3.5 so I can upgrade to S1P 4.x for $149. FWIW, I mostly record audio (classic rock type stuff) and sometimes will use electronic drums to drive Addictive Drums. I haven't found a DAW with a workflow/UI that I like better than SONAR/CbB, but I'm in a mood to get a second DAW while they are on sale. Second DAW: Studio 1 Pro 4 or Samplitude Pro X3/ X4 Suite?
