For example, if you don't ever use VST synth plugins, you can close that window and create a template where it will never pop up again. This allows for lots of customization to match your own particular needs and interests.

You can then click and drag the window to any space in the workstation and dock it to certain points of contact. Everything can be kept in its own window, or as Cakewalk calls them "Views."

SONAR 8.5 PRODUCER UPGRADE
I had a few problems with Sonar 8.5 which is why I was so hesitant to upgrade to the other versions that were released throughout the years. It instantly recognized that I had plugins and projects in Sonar 8.5 before it, and carried them all over to the new Sonar X3 formats for me. After getting it installed, setup was easy.
SONAR 8.5 PRODUCER WINDOWS 8

You have the option of purchasing physical copies of the disk, so if you are worried about the download that may be a better option for you. It seems there is a sort of online signature that happens with your download and if it times out on one of the parts, the other parts will not recognize it. My download was happening over 15mbps internet and it took me two tries before I had it successfully downloaded. There was a little difficulty downloading it, but only because the file size is so large. I upgraded to Sonar X3 Producer from Sonar 8.5.
