Meaning of SPLAT?
As a longtime user of cakewalk products, (Sonar X2) I feel confused that I don't know the meaning of SPLAT. PLEASE UNCONFUSE ME!

I thought it was the sound made by the install media as it was dropped. Wait.... there is no "media".

I wish a better slang/acronym was made for Sonar Platinum. SPlat sounds too derogatory and unprofessional, especially when using it with clients or non-Sonar users. Maybe something like SoPlat. "Sonar Platinum" has a "gold standard, professional" sound to it. To reduce it to "SPlat" takes all the class out of it. Just IMHO. (I'm NOT a ho) 
Lee Shapirowww.soundclick.com/leeshapiro Welcome BandLab and thank you for giving Cakewalk and Sonar a new lease on life.

Durn. I thought is was a deep existential question. What IS SPLAT? What is happiness? What is 42?
Anyone want to take credit (or blame) for coining that acronym? Anyone have a better suggestion?

On the way to the hospital I was to be named Bradly Ronald Anderson.
My sister, in the car, God bless her, realized my initials were going to be BRA got my name changed before I arrived. Didn't make much difference though. Still got by arse kicked.
Makes ya practice harder.

I use Sonar Platinum when talking about it. I think Splat is just an abbrev (why is abbreviation the longest word in the English language?!!?)

I believe Craig came up with that along with several other ideas when Platinum first came out and people were looking for a shorter way to refer to it. It was obviously meant as a joke, but it caught on.

And all of a sudden that awkward feeling hit me – déjà vu! And the next thing that will happen is that someone responds and says: No, it was CakeAlex, Doktor Avalanche, or whatever his signature used to be! I’ve surely lived through this before!

So... It was you that said it  (Sorry!) Surely déjà vu. All the best.

...it was CakeAlex,
Yes it was Alex that came up with it. And a big discussion soon after about the proper spelling!!

When Studio One first came along I thought it was a dumb name. What would they do, I wondered, when version 2 came out? Call it Studio One 2? Of course, that's exactly what they did.
Names stick, even when marketers try to change them. I still say "Fruity Loops". I thought when Microsoft changed the trashcan to the recycle bin it was a joke, a dig at their recycling-obsessed hometown. I still delete files, not recycle them.

As I said in the other thread about this from last week or so..."Yes, it was me, I did it in a post as a joke...I never expected it to stick. I'm not sure if Cakewalk has forgiven me or not..." As to the Recycle bin, I guess you could say you're recycling memory space

I actually wondered that as well but thought it was a release since it is a thing now to call releases "Green River" or "Antelope" or whatever instead of V6.114.12e Build 209.1.
I kind of like Sopum, however,
