A hold-over from the old days, Sonar ('Cakewalk' back then) was never 
very happy as slave.  There are also a number of posts on the Sonar 
forums that point out that Sonar has problems hosting Stylus RMX.

I'm mainly interesting in Mobius as master, but am also looking for a 
stable VST host. I want to run Mobius and a few synths and effects and 
it doesn't seem to run at all in Sonar - also you can't record the 
Mobius looped output.  This is a known issue/limitation based on several 
posts on Yahoo group 'ZoneMobius'.

Tracktion version 1 as host to Mobius doesn't appear to work well - I'd 
like to know about Tracktion version 2 if anyone has had success.  
Routing in Tracktion  makes me crazy and maybe there's another way, but 
my scheme called for two instances of Mobius.  Had bad problems with 
midi delay and getting both instances to respond to the same midi 
message from ny footcontroller (FCB1010). 

REAPER (in beta) as host to Mobius is still unstable on my system (Dell 
8400 w/ MOTU Traveler under WinXPPro).

Best stability so far is in Ableton Live! 5.2 (I am using the demo until 
I decide it's the right solution).
