Anyone take the newest Cakewalk Survey

Yup just did.  Looks like Cake is still digging for more streams of revenue.

Yeah, I took it. It was pretty good I think.

I don't mind them looking to sell us more stuff...if it's good stuff.  hell, even if it's crap I'm not particularly bothered because , as John T said, that is what businesses do.  It is my prerogative not to buy what they attempt to sell.  Hopefully they will offer stuff worth buying.  Although i said hell no on paying them to critique my stuff.

One thing is the revenue thing, the other is that the company that provide the tools I also make a living with ask us how they should prioritize their resources is a positive thing in my book, rather than dictating what I need. 

I appreciate that

I didn't say it was a bad thing, just making a comment.

I was kind of 'meh' on most of the questions, and clicked on the lower end of the scale for most. I'll leave new revenue stream targets for the newbies. I've got more presets, templates, samples and tutorial videos than I need and see no gaps likely to be filled with a new pay-for offering.

I did, however, in a moment of weakness, ask for a tutorial on using the broken Automation.

I did not take it as a bad thing.  I took it as simply a statement and a true one at that and made a comment on the subject.

Saw it, but haven't taken it yet.


I was waiting for you to tell me what the right answers are.

Well Mooch says "C" is always the right answer.

Yup...I told em that what I'd like to see was a 24/7 "Doghouse Riley Pings Yor Sonar" channel.  You know, I'd have segments like "Don't Pester Wart Me, Will Ya??" and "How The Cow Ate The Cabbage"...and a problem solvin segment called "How The Hell Should I Know??"  There'd be other crap content and such but you git my drift.

Where do I sign up?

I tend to always respond to surveys about the products I use and the company's I choose to do business with as I want them to know my feelings on directions taken and possibility for future products.  

On the subject of future revenue streams - I'm all for them asking and I gave them honest answers about what and what I would not spend my hard earned money on.  If they don't ask and I don't answer I can't complain (about the change of course) when they suddenly start charging for something like effect presets which up to this point they have not, but I would imagine they are thinking about the possibility of "Artist Presets" by presenting the idea.  Which by the by, I'm not particularly interested in so I responded with my thoughts on it with an appropriate rating.  But as a general rule I like it when a company asks it's customers what might interest them but I'm not naive enough to think that all their other customers think like I do and if in the future they suddenly start charging for ProChannel Presets I'll loose no sleep.

I say keep asking, I'll keep giving you my thoughts.

Yep. Answered all the questions here. No "new features vs existing ones actually working" though.

It was a "How can we make you pay for more stuff?" survey. Ugly.

Really? I just felt a bit done over. 'How would you like to be fleeced'. I know I sound negative and I really appreciate being asked at all so don't get me wrong. I just found the questions a bit closed.

Jind Yes I agree. But the option to comment could be wider I think. I restate I think its so fine that they do this. But dont taint the replies by asking closed questions

Thanks to all who answered the survey...much appreciated!!

We try to offer as much free content as we can but we also have opportunities to partner up with other vendors and offer paid content, so we are trying to see what everyone wants us to focus on moving forward. The results so far have been extremely helpful!

Well, I would have taken it, but I can't get Cakewalk to add me to their email list.  I have contacted customer support many, many times.  Have written to various people and can't get them to add me even though I have been a customer since Pro Audio 7.
