Not that I know of, but I do know that it's been used pretty often for sequencing, especially on Rap/hip-hop/R&B stuff- or at least until recently when Cubase has become the preferred low-money prog for this stuff. Nowadays for "pros" the HD solution has been Pro Tools.

But let's face it, it doesn't really matter. Hard disk recording is hard disk recording, no matter what prog you use. Really, the only difference between one multitrack prog and the next is ease of use and relaibility. Plugins aside, there is absolutely no difference in sound quality from nTrack all the way up to Tools. The defining difference between one DAW rig and another is the quality of the soundcard and it's associated convertors. Now when you factor in plugins, the TDM plugs for ProTools are king. But there are some really EXCELLENT DX plugs that will work in Cakewalk, some of which are DX versions of TDM plugs.

So yeah, if your question is something like "can I do pro stuff with Cakewalk" the answer is yeah, if everything else is up to par.
