    No,  its saying Gibson dumped Cakewalk because they want to concentrate on Phillips (which they own) instead.
     
    How accurate that is, no one knows.

    This is the problem with Henry Juszkiewicz.  Get out of areas you have no expertise in, and go back to making guitars.  The margins are so freaking small in consumer electronics, but Henry has this idea based on Dr. Dre and Beats audio that he can take a crappy set of headphones that he can make in China for 15 dollars and sell them for 200.  Sorry but Phillips is not going to compete well with the millennials against beats and skull candy.  So your choice is either to produce a quality product at a lower price point with very little margins (like AKG), or produce a super high quality studio grade headphone, with again very little margin because you're going to have to put more money into R&D and manufacturing (aka, Sennheiser, Shure, Audia Technica, etc., etc.)
     
    Hopefully when Gibson goes bankrupt they can finally get rid of him and get someone in there that knows what the hell they are doing.

    Not sure Henry knows how to make a guitar.  Gibson guitars have been fairly touch and go for a long time now.  That being said, "Henry sure knows how to IPO," and its unlikely Gibson Brands will go bankrupt before it goes public.
     
    Gotta tell you peepolls...   I wasn't the expert in max, I wasn't the expert in code.  I'm not even the expert in DAWs or DAW related devices.
     
    But I know when A: a company is no longer a guitar company and B: its working toward an IPO

    I am not impressed that home electronics are the wave of the future when the mass of listening now is done on smart phones. When I was young it was common for a bunch of friends to get together, turn out the lights, smoke some weed and sit and listen to a whole album on the best stereo any of them owned. How often is that done now?
     
    Gibson was right to try to find its way forward in the face of declining guitar sales, but the acquisition strategy they followed to anticipate the change in the music market seems to have always picked a product or company a decade too late. In any event, Cakewalk was apparently losing money, and Gibson Brands needs to find new financial backers to pay the debt they incurred with diversification. Holding onto a nonperforming acquisition would not encourage new investors to cover their old debt.
