User-customizable plug-in menus for easy organization and grouping

AudioSnap™ Multitrack Audio Quantize
A+
Use AudioSnap to non-destructively fix audio timing, make instant tempo changes to an entire project, lock multiple tracks into the same groove—even quantize multiple tracks in relation to each other.
Way to go!
Insert and delete instruments dynamically during playback, with undo/redo capability.
Plug-in Organization
Organize your plug-in menu to make finding the right plug-ins easier. Group them by user-defined type (Compressors, Reverbs, Delays, etc.) or by style (Vintage, Digital, Abstract, etc.). Enhanced and fully integrated Plug-in Manager lets you create, edit, and save custom menu layout files. Choose a different layout at any time on the fly.
XLNT!
Quantize Audio
Lock an acoustic guitar into a perfect 8th note strum. Add a little shuffle to that straight drum fill. AudioSnap makes it possible to fix audio timing without slicing up or destructively editing your audio. You can quantize one part at a time or even an entire project at once.
+
Slip Stretch
Fit that vocal sample, sound effect or any audio clip to a new length. Just enable Slip Stretch. Dragging the edges of a clip will non-destructively time compress or expand your audio’s duration.
Долго я ждал этой фичи!
Elastic Tempo
Have you ever wished you’d recorded or composed a song at a different tempo? Enable AudioSnap on your entire project, and simply change the tempo or draw in changes from the Tempo View. All selected audio tracks will follow project tempo.
Cool.
Analyst is a real-time spectrum analyzer with a number of display options, including spectrum color bars, cumulative averages, minimums and maximums, and a built-in Sonograph mode. Analyst will also create automation envelopes based on the average levels of four frequency ranges.
Even cooler.

Work seamlessly with VST plug-ins—VST support is now integrated into SONAR 6 and no longer requires an external VST to DX adapter
Мммм.. Свежо питание, да варится с трудом. В пятерке тоже было объявлено о VST native support. Что мы получили? замаскированный адаптер.
По-прежнему никаких упоминаний про Stereo Sidechain. Где TimeWarp? Как насчет Input Quantize? Где возможность импортировать Audio CD tracks?
Я уж не говорю о поддержке CAL и Studioware. Похоже, они приказали долго жить.
